Games won't load up for me right now.

[Valecnik]

It's been this way all day. Anybody else having that problem? It tries to load but just churns endlessly...

Are you using Chrome? If tha<t's the case, you might have to enable the flash plug-in for every single game (to the right of the address bar)

Using firefox

I'm experiencing similar problems, as of this weekend. My games will load up without any troop containers showing. Multiple refreshes required.

Same here. I imagine it's probably something we'll just have to deal with until the new engine is released?

Hope not!

Can you provide me with a specific game id that doesn't load?

 

[masterjskye]

All of my active games are the same. I mostly play classic massive, but have a balkans game that I know is doing it too. Takes about 5 refreshes every time.

Tried firefox and edge, both are the same - it loads up but with no troop containers.

Yeah, I sometimes have that and my conclusion is that it's due to flash misbehaving. However, clearing the cookies+cache usually solves it. Do you know how to use the developer tools? Here are some quick instructions for Firefox:

1. Open the develop tools with Ctrl+Shift+I
2. In the tab top right corner there is a gear symbol. Click on it.
3. In the advanced options section, select the "Disable HTTP Cache ..." or something similar.
4. Select the network tab
5. Reload the game. Let me know if it works. If it doesn't and you're willing, I can use Team Viewer to your machine to further investigate the issue.

Right now I am having trouble with https://www.majorcommand.com/games/398239/

And also https://www.majorcommand.com/games/401608/

There are others also, but they all do the same thing. The map(s) load, but they will load blank, meaning there are no troops appearing anywhere, no colors on any territories. Just a plain blank map. Sometimes, the troops will appear after it's loaded, but then there is absolutely nothing in the intel tab.

As MasterJ said, sometimes it takes multiple, and I do mean many (sometimes) refreshes to get it to load "right." I've probably refreshed game number 401608 20 times now, keeps loading blank. (I say that, it just now loaded correctly. I have 2 pc's side by side, so being in multiple browsers is not the problem.) And sometimes, all of my games work great, no refreshing required. Sometimes just 1 or 2. Other times, I wonder if I'll get to play.

It seems to just happen at random, with no rhyme or reason. Anyway, I know you're super busy with the new engine and all, but you asked, so here you go.

Edit to say I was typing this up/playing on the other pc and while doing so both MasterJ and MrMarcos responded. I was not trying to "pile on."

Ok, so I checked and my firefox was having the exact same issue you described even though it loads perfectly fine one Opera and Chrome.

This is how I fixed it:

1. Click in the game area
2. The indicated symbol appears at the left of the address bar
3. Click on it and selection the "continue allowing" (or something) option

It now works... have no idea why.

I think that did the trick! Thanks Mr Marcos!

Oh god yes, I have to do this. I'm laying low on the site at the moment to try give me more time to study, any idea why it does this?

I guess it's due to the growing restrictions imposed upon Flash, given it's awful track record in terms of security. Having said that, I didn't have any issue on Chrome. My guess is that since Chrome embeds it's private Flash build with the browser, which I think is tinkered with by google, it's more trustworthy than the system-wide installation which is used by Firefox.
I'm also suspicious that this is the reason why it starts doing this on Firefox without apparent reason. The reason may be that the system-wide Flash installation was updated, maybe automatically, and Firefox detects that it's a new version and requires it to be re-enabled.

 

[masterjskye]

I have to re-enable the "continue allowing" function every single time.. and sometimes it still doesn't work.

Still, it's better than 20 refreshes.

I get same thing. Gotta reload once or twice on every game...
