If you’re encountering infinite loading when you’re logging into the world, it could be that something is going on in the browser. In many cases, this can crash the browser if excessive JS imports for modules or too many network calls are being performed.
In those case cases, the individual browser may crash and the device running the browser may perform slowly or be unable to connect to the internet because of too many active connections, which might make it look like the internet is going down for the rest of the house and the router. Usually, ending the process or restarting the specific device should fix this, since those connections should be terminated.
This might be what we’re seeing here, so let’s investigate that. @ravingdork and @lighthawkmaster57 could you please ask the game owners to run through the world size and module issues sections of The Gray Screen troubleshooting docs, specifically the section on launching the world in Safe Configuration. You can also check to make sure that hardware acceleration is enabled on your own devices.
These are the most common causes of worlds failing to load and it’s possible that the rest of what we’re seeing are knock-on effects and failures related to excessive resource use or crashes. Forge has no power to shut down the internet on network devices linked to the connecting device, so something else must be going wrong as a result of the failure to connect.
Specifically, please also open up your browser dev tools (F12) console before loading the game, and post a screenshot of any error messages you see in the console here. That may help us understand where it’s going wrong.
If you have any trouble troubleshooting, please ask the game owner to create a ticket in the #ticket-support channel of our Discord server and reference this issue, and post an invite to the game there, and we should be able to jump in and check the specific worlds from the inside.
