22.06.12, 11:14
Login works perfect - Then when clicking the Play Now I just get a
Blank/White screen - no errors, or anything.

Tried to from IE: 9.08112.16421
Chrome: 19.0.1084.56 m
FireFox: 13.0.1

Java 6 Update 29 (1.6.0_29-b11)
Adobe Flash 11.3.300.257

Tried running it in IE as a trusted site with lowest security setting - same problem.

Any advices on how to proceed?

Best regards WaZoul

Of cause have to metion:
I have clean temporary files, cookies etc.
I have cleaned the Java cache folder and the Flash cache folder.
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Depl oyment\cache

I'm the same, I came to the forums to log in. Couldn't log in at the top of the screen or on the "Play now" button.

MixieMoo
22.06.12, 13:04
Should add, I can log into forums, but can't play the game. Can fill out the boxes on top but nothing happens when clicking "log in."

22.06.12, 13:14
Exactly the same issue, have now managed to log into the forums using Firefox but still unable to get into game. this is the 2nd day in a row that my playing experience has been compromised and very little information has been forthcoming.

Hi guys,

If you've cleared your cache and cookies, please try using a different web-browser and checking your version of Flash.
If these don't work, please contact Support for help.

Do you really think it's a browser issue when everyone is having the same problem? The "play now" / "log in" button does not respond with anything when you click it?

for everyone who can't play, i can give you solution. your browser is ok, don't bother with cleaning cookies and installing new browser, becouse it wouldn't help. so, i'm find solution. when you come to homepage of the game go to your address bar and change last word *homepage in *play and hit enter.that's all. See you in the game.... direct link: http://www.thesettlersonline.com/en/play

Have tried several different attempts to get into the game now, used IE9 firefox google and aol and no access ... the play now button does not respond ... the page stays the same but that button and the help options for a new contact form also do not work.
Why is this happening? I am a guild leader and need to log in at least once a day to keep on top of guild business.

Rubbish, has nothing to do with flashplayer. I can login into the german TSO version with IE without any problems. It is only with the UK version that it doesn't work. Not the first time with UBISoft that German versions are far much better supported then English versions. Chrome browser works ok with the same flashplayer version.

So the warning is justly, IE users are unable to login after updating flashplayer and restarting their computer. And as the German version is still working properly, it should not take long before the BB's have a solution to this problem. And don't you rubbish me!

ErikNL
23.06.12, 12:22
Rubbish was not meant personally to you at all. Please accept my apologies if I made that impression. It is more that UBISoft always tries to blame the user settings first and responds rather poorly to user complaints. Some people can not login for several days now and nothing has be done sofar to help them from their side. Only users like you that have better computer skills find workarounds, which is of course a good thing, but not all users are able to downgrade their software.

Hi guys,

Please make sure you empty your cache and cookies, try updating your version of Flash and test the game on a different web-browser.

If these do not work, please send a ticket to Support via this address: account.support@thesettlersonline.com .

Good luck,

I can't log in either. Everytime I get to the site it has the little yellow caution icon in the status bar saying 'Done, but with errors on page'.

This happened before, and no amount of cache clearing and flash player updating fixed it. It just seemed to be the website.

How much longer until it's fixed?

hiswitzend
25.06.12, 17:20
This is a server issue not a local one, it does not matter what version of flash you are using it still does not work as previously stated. However it appears to be an issue with IE8 on the whole. I have a friend who is logging in with IE9 without an issue. Google chrome works but this is not convient for some.

As for the solution of Clear the cache this has been tried i believe on page 1, and we have repeatedly stated this does not work.

We seem to be getting nowhere with this at all.

Is it time for us starting to ask for our money back for items bought and cancelling our accounts ??

Subject: Re: [Ticket#UK-] connection



Hello xxxxxx,

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch and sorry to hear about the issues.

I can only suggest that you use the browser that works. We have heard from players sometimes having difficulties with firefox.

I hope this helps, anymore issues then get back in touch.

Kind regards,

Nukar
26.06.12, 06:28
When i started this game it stated somewhere it was optimized for IE9. That should explain it for most...

That being said. It works fine with most recent FF combigned with most recent Flash.
On all main browsers you need to clear cache on a regular bases. Aspecially after a downtime.

try this:

1) download the attached zip file, unzip it and doubleclick index.html
(if it open by default in another browser you don't want to use - close it, right-click on index.html, select "open with" and select the browser you want to use)
2) *important* - wait untill everything is fully loaded
3) type your user and pass in the new fields and click "Login" button
4) *important* - wait untill everything is fully loaded (should be almost instant this time)
5) click on "PLAY NOW" button and the game should load properly in new tab or browser (depending on which browser you use)

Edit BB_Azariel: please detail everything that's in your Zipped file before adding it.
Any spyware/viruses (etc..) will earn you a permanent ban from the game.
Thank you for your understanding!
