Default Re: ne1 else have disappearing buttons on Party?

I don't see how reconnecting could have anything to do with it.

What if you have a dedicated internet connection and there is no such thing as reconnecting to the internet?

It doesn't matter if you have broadband or a dial-up connection. The Party client open a dedicated socket to the Party servers. Something in this tcp/ip communication degrades over time. I've noticed if I exit the table and rejoin, it also fixes the problem, which supports the tcp/ip connection theory (of course if there is a waiting list you'll have to wait to get a seat).

This is indeed a good workaround. My other workaround was just to switch tables every 20-30 minutes. This sucks though if you want to stay at a good table.

BTW, if you don't use DHCP then that script won't work but you can just rick-click and disable/re-enable your network connection.
