I can write for 3-5 minutes and the website will show the little green circle loading then a check to show that its saving then after that it stops saving automatically. If I continue to write after it saved for 2-3 minutes later when then auto save loads back up its unable to keep up and crashes the page stating lost connection, or improper UTF-16 characters. I have full bars for Wi-Fi, I’m typing directly from my keyboard, and have used zero emojis.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open World Anvil onto a Tablet
  2. Start writing
  3. Keep an eye on the rotating circle at the bottom left
  4. Write you heart out and finally be happy with out come
  5. Crash

Hey, is this still happening consistently for you? And what device are you using?

For timelines, there is indeed an issue when setting the years too far and this expected - but for articles, there shouldn't be any issue so I'm trying to understand what could be causing this.
