# Event Jams

Event Jams

### What is an Event Jam?

If you see a countdown stuck at **0:00:0** or game actions taking longer than usual, you are likely experiencing an **event jam**.  
This happens when the **server is temporarily overloaded** and cannot process all in-game events quickly enough.

Event jams can affect:

-   Battles, building upgrades, or any timed actions
    
-   Game page loading speed
    
-   Your connection stability
    

Even though these delays are temporary, **they impact all players** on the affected gameworld until resolved.

### How Long Does It Last?

Event jams are usually fixed **quickly**, but in rare cases may take longer.  
Our team continuously **monitors all gameworlds** and applies fixes as soon as possible.  
The more active players a world has, the more complex the fix can be.

### What You Can Do

Event jams occur **server-side**, so players cannot directly fix them — but you can help minimize the load and avoid worsening the issue:

**Recommended Actions**

-   **Do not refresh the game repeatedly.** Every refresh adds more server requests and increases the load.
    
-   **Avoid sending new commands** (troop movements, constructions, etc.) during a jam — they will likely be delayed as well.
    
-   **Do not cancel ongoing upgrades or builds.** You may lose part of the resources used and add even more strain to the server.
    
-   **Adjust trade route timing.** Avoid setting them exactly on the full hour (e.g., 8:00, 9:00). Instead, use uneven times like **8:07** or **9:23** to reduce simultaneous load peaks.
