FREEZING // DISCONNECT
3 / 4 games I have played thus far have frozen in the client. Usually after voting or before a night ends.

I have verified game files, restarted my wifi, steam and PC and still no avail.
Any help / fixes?

If you have no alternative than playing on WiFi, I suggest downloading a WiFi Analyser on a smartphone, checking which channel is the quietest, putting your WiFi on said channel, turning off hardware acceleration and QoS (Quality of Service), don't (ever) put your channel on automatic, sit close to your router and make sure there's no sources for signal disturbance around.

Also make sure Town of Salem is the only application you have opened so you don't overuse your data, make sure your PC and OS are up to date (including Adobe AIR) and pray there's not too many people around you using WiFi at the same time. (And keep in mind that anything with magnetic energy like microwaves, bug zappers and subwoofers are very bad for your WiFi signal).

Yeah, I can't connect an ethernet cable due to the location of my PC.

Seems as though rinsing and repeating what I said before is a fix for it, or it may just be that too many other people were using WiFi at the same time as me.
I'll definitely only have ToS as the only app open though, I did try that and again, no disconnects or freezes.

Thanks for the reply!

Sure thing, I hope the stability improves for you. :)
