disconected from game server problems

The last month or 2 I have kept getting messages that I am disconnected from the game server. I log out back in again nothing works. Is anyone else having these problems?

The servers do something that causes disconnections with all games consistently at Midnight PST/PDT (GMT -8). They usually reconnect after 5-10 seconds, but you may wish to reload your browser window when that happens.

If it's at some other time of day, *shrug* I don't know.

Same. Exactly midnight PT every night (that I'm up and on BGA, which is often), regardless of whether it's daylight saving time. So it's either UTC -7 or -8 depending on the time of year.. Which is odd, because you'd think it would be invariant to whether your local time is observing summer hours.

France also uses daylight savings time, so maybe that's why? Unless I misunderstood your post.

I have found out that it was caused by the Brave browser I am using. I just switch browsers now to duck duck go and it is fine. Both browsers are very good btw.

My understanding is that often servers are not adjusted for summer hours, so that things you expect to happen at a certain time are just "off" by an hour in the summer. At least I've seen this behavior with other sites and game apps.

Hmmm... It's exactly at 9:00 am in most EU time, as far as I can see (UTC+2 Apr to Oct, UTC+1 Nov to Mar). That doesn't really match with midnight in UTC-8. Perhaps there are different servers?

Happened to me today at 4am EU time. Took a few minutes to get back on by which time the game had been abandoned and I had been slapped with a penalty :twisted:
