Piece of shit, in 5 mins at least 15 times reconnecting.... never experiencing this shit on anz other site on the net.
Calm down, it's probably just your internet connection. If you hover over your name, you can see that your connection is "poor".
Try getting a command prompt/shell up and typing:
ping 8.8.8.8
And see if you get errors, or suspiciously different response times.
A lot of sites deliver data then stop. Others can buffer a stream to protect you from occasional lag/latency. But there's no mitigating against connection problems when you're playing online games such as chess.

Hi guys, won't create another topic, just add to existing one.
Code/website fails in the newest , securest browser on the market, Brave.
I am getting "Reconnecting" messages periodically (I am on a business fiber optic network, so no it's not the connection).
Forced to use (slow and buggy at times and sold out to big advertisers) Firefox again. The Brave browser is something that a team from Firefox developed that removes all the ads from sites by default, and some sites are not browseable anymore without it.
Obviously you guys are aware that 50% of the users use one or more Ad stopping plugins, such as Adblock Plus, as site works fine in Firefox with several Adblocks enabled, great job, thanks (!!) (for the users - if you don't use adblock plugin, it is highly recommended).

Firefox is the fastest browser. If you're going to use an ad blocker use a fast one that's not "sold out" to advertisers, such as ublock origin.
@capitanos Can you please be less vague about what plugins/OS/browser is failing so we may fix it?
Telling the truth I'v lost several games because this famous "Reconnecting..." issue before. Sometimes my connection getting to start being unstable for unknown reason. ISP, router, OS, anything else. FICS and ICC solved this years before using timeseal/timestamp. Seems lichess developers don't want to apply such solution. They provide "lag compensation" only. See lichess.org/lag
Having read the code both for timeseal and for Lichess... it's the same concept, however the server policy caps compensation (I think configured to 100ms) whereas FICS leaves an open socket for up to 2 minutes.
@Toadofsky thx for clarifying!
My personal experience has been the opposite. I frequently inexplicably disconnect at chess.com, but LiChess has been stable.
