Troubleshooting

Unplayability

If you get an Apache 2/CentOS test page, you may need to use a proxy to bypass IP blocks. Certain blocks only apply to the signup and login areas, so some users have been able to log in with proxies and switch to direct connections after world server selection screen.
- Try using the Nico client to play the game if your IP is blocked: http://app.nicovideo.jp/app/ap110
The game will load a large cinematic the first time you play. This can cause extended loading times in excess of 5 minutes, and you may need to relaunch the game if your connection to the server fails during loading, causing you to become stuck at the loading screen.
If the game is freezing when you try to enter pvp or co-op, or when you try to access any feature changed in a recent maintenance, try clearing your browser's cache and restarting the game.
If you frequently get the "server can't get status" error while using the QB Box or weapon synthesis, try using a different browser. There has been a case where the error persisted after handling the cache and cookies, but was fixed by switching from Chrome to Firefox. It is speculated that in such cases the error can prevent you from receiving some items, so don't ignore these errors.
If the game will not load after re-logging in after your first time, it might be because of your character name. Try creating a new account with a character name using only 'normal' characters (A-Z, Hiragana, Kanji, Katakana with no spaces, underscores or other funny characters). Might be related to the following point.
The chat and automessage systems don't allow some common characters such as spaces and periods. You'll get an error message if you try to use them. Some English swearing is also blocked. Note that the double width question mark works, but the normal one doesn't.
- Allowed: ~`!@#&<>=？
- Illegal: .$%^*()-,/':"?-- space
- Also allowed: ´・ω・`：。β★◆●【】※・ー一！）（「」┃○‐

Miscellaneous

In-game mail from other players will be automatically deleted after 10 days.
Some presents, such as items found in quests while your inventory was full, will expire after a short time. Make sure to retrieve your presents quickly.
Presents from special events are often sent some time after maintenance ends, not immediately after the servers come up. Presents can expire before the time listed in the presents window entry.
The game constantly transfers data through 113.192.241.11/amf/gateway.php and any downloads or uploads to it that exceed 5 seconds will cause you to disconnect. If your bandwidth is being consumed by other applications/users, bandwidth caps have caused your ISP to throttle your connection, or something is interfering with your access to that IP, disconnects can become frequent. When initially entering the game, you must transfer 167.17KB within 5 seconds.

Performance

Some users have found that the game runs better in Chrome than Firefox.
Reducing the game's graphics quality can dramatically lower CPU load.
If you're getting disconnected frequently, avoid using flash-based sites in other browser tabs or running P2P applications such as bittorrent in the background.
High server load can cause issues such as being stuck at a loading screen or getting stuck with a grayed out screen while trying to load a menu.

Errors

If you get the error pictured below while trying to open a Kyubey BOX, your inventory is full. You can have at most 50 of each type of card (weapons, clothes, accessories, skills). Sell some to make room, and then open the history screen from the lobby (icon: papers with quill pen). Go to the packages tab and collect the card that was withheld due to the inventory being full. After clearing your inventory and packages, Kyubey BOXes should work again.

Inventory full. Sell items and clear history packages.
How to collect presents.
Server can't get status. Enable third-party cookies and restart the game.
Connection lost. Restart the game.
You were disconnected during a quest. Click the right button to resume where you left off.
This present must be retrieved before time runs out.
You can't have more than one of the same SS character. Tickets will be refunded.
