Okay, I'm sure everyone's sick of the game suddenly resetting soon after I arrive in town.
I thought that my router configuration edit would fix things, but apparently it didn't.
I'm going to lay off of online play in AC until I can get some solid answers. The funny thing is, the game was on all night long with a visitor and there were no errors, and I have far fewer problems with Mario Kart DS.
More news as it breaks.
