What is wrong with testplay and the foundry? I know sometimes it takes a bit longer to enter testplay, but this afternoon everytime I try to enter test play it takes forever, I've waited more or less 8mins more than 3 times,and I have to alt ctrlsupr and close the game engine.
Is there some kind of problem today?
The rest of the game seems to be working fine.

    I have the same issue happening and it seems to occur more often in a case where you placed lots of objects and then returned to the 2d editor to save. Next time you try to go back and test your changes it tends to freeze for longer than 5 min. Sometimes this can even happen when using inappropriate costumes, which I ended up deleting. In my case, I was using an ice golem as a player companion and change all of it's settings to look more humanoid. The result was weird since the custom still maintains the large cylindrical collision of the original model, the AI follower kept on jumping on player's head.

    When all said and done, I'd recommend saving your work often, and try not to alter origional customes too much as that too causes problems.

    It's no use, I couldn't work almost anything this afternoon, it would take 15 mins and nothing, had to relog all the time and the same thing happened again. I hope tomorrowit'll be better.
    It's happening on a pretty new map with not much on it yet, so I don't think it's the problem.

    The foundry server is different than the game server i believe. When you publish your foundry, it compresses it to a more useable format for the game engine.

    When we are busy creating/editing at the same time, our combined efforts could be bogging it down causing it to creep...

    I thought it could be because of high foundry traffic too, but last nigth even at 2 AM it was still unplayable, and this morning at around 8 AM it wasn't getting any better... I don't think there's too many people online at that time.

    I don't know what is your internet connection, but you could also try reinstalling the game and see if that helps.
