A Constant issue in the Steam version of the game, is that if your internet cuts out, even for a couple of seconds, the game disconnects you from the game, and the timer gets stuck at 0, and the game never progresses. this has happened to me on numerous occasions, and I think there should be a reconnect button in case you lose connection and have to restart the game.
I love Town of Salem, but I freeze up too often when I'm trying to play. (Especially if I buy a scroll.)
