Hello Forest1
Your connection is maintained independently of your opponent's connection and your IP information is not transmitted to your opponent.
Time/game freeze means either you or your opponent quit the game or lost connection.
Players from all over the world are playing here and some connection problems are just due to a very long distance. As you may know, there are many servers between the users and FlyOrDie - not just one.
Last but not least: If your opponent's connection is interrupted (regardlsss of the reason), remain in the game for about a minute - until your opponent's nickname is no longer visible.
If you do so, the victory will be credited to you by the system automatically.
Kind regards,
John Stewart
