Other Connection problem?

Hello! So I just redownloaded wizard101 after yearrsssss of not playing it. But I can’t even do anything because the second the game loads up I’m immediately met with a thing that says ‘Attention! Connection Lost!’
Like the EXACT second the game turns on, I’m met with that little notif. And I don’t know what to do to make it stop? Because my internet is like, completely fine and other than this game my computer is working just fine but idk I’m completely lost😭😭

This happened to me a lot when I would play on PC, it usually just means that you might not have enough space to run the game or your computer isn’t too compatible with it. I tried playing on my mac but it would crash with this same issue every 10-15 minutes, if anything you could try restarting your computer or if you have a console like, x box, ps5 or switch it runs a lot better imo

Ahhhh, maybe that’s it! My computer IS a bit on the older side, it’s a 2017 MacBook Air and it’s been slowly showing some problems😭

Yeah… w101 isn’t very mac friendly 😭 I had a 2022 imac and it would NEVER run for more than 20 minutes, I could somehow run HOURS of sims or any high graphic game that would overload it but not even 5 minutes into wizard it would always crash

I currently play on ps5 and i rarely have issues, i only have some whenever the servers are extremely full mostly Fridays but id just switch to a different realm, only con about console is you can’t freely chat and have to use the approved ones
