I play on a text based game... And quite often it stops updating what others have typed and posted. After I try to refresh the text, it takes a minute or two, then finally unfreezes and works. seems to happen more often than not when there's no text or activity.

Sometimes these issues are caused by your router. There is no specific reason why MUSHclient should lock up. Do you have any plugins installed?

I suppose Im not sure what to do with my router to fix anything, or if I just gotta deal with it. And no, Im not using any plugins. Just the base client.

Some routers seem to close the connection if they don't see activity for a while. Maybe set up a timer to send something harmless to the MUD every minute or so?
