Before I make any decisions about premium memberships and all that, I decided I needed to make Serpentine run better for people. The game should be less laggy, the words chart should show up every time, and mousing should work better. So today and yesterday I rewrote parts of the server and the game to be more efficient, hopefully fixing some of the lag issues and the word chart issue. Please leave your feedback in the comments section and let me know if you notice any difference, good or bad.

FYI, you may need to refresh your browser in the lobby and in the game. Otherwise, the game will not work.

Update: We ran into some unintended snags and I had to revert the changes back, so the word chart is back to being buggy.

There was a crash at about 9:45 et this morning. After that, when finally got back in, did not see chat. Also, the game froze at 1 second and I got continual lockouts. Am continuing to to reload game hoping it "heals itself".

The mousing and freezing issues should be fixed now.

What I'd like to know is:

- If you didn't get the list of words before, do you get them now?
- Is the game less laggy than before?

I am unable to mouse

I mouse. My mouse keeps sticking. I last a few games then the clock stops and the game freezes. I never had trouble before.

still not working for me adam

I played early this morning and had no problems at all. In past, I froze occasionally and also experienced occasional lag, neither of which lasted too long.
I just came back to play at 1 p.m. after your "fix" and froze three times in one game, four times in my second game, and quit after one freeze in the third game - wahhhhh
I tried all suggestions, and even restarted my computer.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi adam, now i cant play at all keep getting pop ups telling me something is amiss with error messages

I am still not getting the word lists. Thanks for all your work.

Adam, I've never had this problem, but if I leave one room now and go back to the lobby, the site won't respond. I have to completely retype cobra to get into any room. Thanks.

I continue to only get the word lists occasionally. Thank you.

Same, as far as word lists. If anything, it is worse than before, but whether like this or 1 of 10 times a list, matters little.

Can you give me some guidance on getting the mouse function to work? I have refreshed my browser, restarted my computer numerous times, but still the mouse function is not right.

When I try to mouse the letters, all the letters on each row are highlighted and added to the 'word'... I cannot get the mouse to just land on each letter as I touch it.

I am using Windows 7 and Firefox. But it does the same thing in WE.

Any help would be much appreciated. I cannot type the words fast enough to play.

I've never really gotten used to this mousing system but used to use it in Tangleword. I'll continue to type, thats not that
big a deal BUT.....in the last week, it seems every time I come into this game, I lose sound. Something seems to be changing my sound from headphones to speakers. I've reinstalled my headphones & updated drivers and now can get sound anywhere but this game. Any ideas?
