If you for some reason cannot load the app, please take the following steps to resolve the issue. Instructions and links can be found below.

1. Clear your browser cache/temporary internet files before trying to log in again.
   • Most web browsers store temporary copies of game files on your computer. Sometimes these files need to be manually deleted in order for the game to function properly.
   
   
   • Clearing the cache/temporary internet files frequently solves many loading problems with the game.
   
   
   • Below are a number of guides for the most common web browsers.
   
   
   
   Mozilla Firefox
   
   
   Internet Explorer 7 and 8
   
   
   Internet Explorer 6
   
   
   Google Chrome
   
   
   Apple Safari
2. Update Flash and Java to the latest version.
   • Download and install the latest version of both programs.
   
   
   • Flash and Java are important to the core functionality of many websites and games.
   
   
   • Keeping them up to date is very important for the best gaming experience.

3. Make sure your Firewall is not blocking connectivity
   • Each copy of Windows XP and Vista come with a built in software firewall. Sometimes these firewalls can interfere with the connection to the game.
   
   
   • In many cases adding your browser as an exception to the approved programs and services will solve connectivity issues.
   
   
   • In other cases you may have to reset your software firewall to the factory defaults.
   
   
   • Also keep in mind that most routers also function as firewalls. If this is the case you may want to even consider disabling your software firewall.
   
   
   • Lastly, please check your Antivirus Suite. You may not realize it, but you may also have a firewall installed there, in addition to your Windows Firewall and router. Many people unintentionally double or triple firewall their computers, which can unfortunately result in a loss of connectivity to the game servers
