Why do my Gimkit games say that I lost connection to internet

Every single time I’m playing Gimkit the game says that I lost connection to internet when I have full internet.

Problem with the servers maybe. Yesterday the images for Gimkit wouldn’t load.

I think there might be a glitch in Gimkit.

close out and host another game. if not, be patient. its prolly your severs or sumth.

I did. And I know it’s not my server. :thinking:

If worst comes to worst, email hello@gimkit.com , they could probably help.

There might also be the possibility that gimkit is blocked by your WiFi, it happened to me once and I just got my dad to fix it (Don’t ask how he did it, I have no idea,).

Thank you. :smiley: and my wifi only blocks inappropriate stuff

every time?
or could you try again?
it’s the easiest solution.

If ur on mobile try shutting off ur phone/ipad (ipad just hold power button, phone hold down power and volume)
If ur on pc try shutting it down too (i dont have a computer so this might not be accurate)

hmmm.
maybe..
I dunno..
You lost connection with the internet?

It doesn’t matter how many bars it shows for your wifi, it can still lose connection. GIMKIT has a decent amount of things to load in, which most likely caused this. If it looks like your playing smoothly, then it still could mean you have bad connection. This has happened to me before and that is because the internet sometimes affects only the things around you and not your movement.

It can show it if you’re idle for too long, if you have a problem connecting to the servers, or bad wifi.

First of all, I had perfect wifi
second of all, I was moving
third of all, I was only playing for 3 and a half minutes. :smiley:

ohhh my friend also had this issue, but is it bcs of ur device?
it happens
but does it keep saying u lost connection or stops after a while?

if you’re on a computer and you close the computer this will happen every time just make a new game.

Here is my 2 year old server interpretation of why this isn’t working:

Basically, if the client doesn’t respond, there is no connection meaning the server loses the connection for more than its timeout, then the server shuts down.

So basically, if you stay there for too long it stops?

@Thegimkitstar5582, I need to make sure I’m getting this right, what action do you perform when you lose your connection?
