Blank screen starting game?

Hi,

Has anyone else had issues when starting the game i.e. url of www.glitch.com/game/ that they just get a blank white screen?  Eventually if left long enough I can hear the sounds of the game starting but nothing ever actually appears?  The problem is intermittent and doesn't seem affected by closing/starting new sessions or clearing all previous cache etc.

I'm running Firefox 7.0 on Fedora 15.

Thanks

  • I had that problem right after the launch (Firefox on Windows 7), and now I'm having it again. I get a black screen instead of a white screen, but otherwise the same. The audio loads, but I can't see anything.

    What's really weird is this is only happening on my laptop, even though my laptop and desktop both run the most recent Firefox on Windows 7

  • Hi, i have been trying Opera and it seems a lot more stable with Glitch.  Perhaps a FF7 issue?

  • Having same trouble on both Firefox and IE on Windows 7. Updated everything, installed the latest flash then downgraded to the debug flash, restarted computer cleaned out the cache, nothing is working. Screen is completely black but music eventually does come on. All other flash based websites are working just fine. This is my first time playing the game, very sad to have technical difficulties : ( All the solutions I've come across on the forum are not working for me.

  • I am getting the same issue with firefox and ubuntu. When i close firefox and reopen it, it tells me to update the flash plugin. when i do it goes back to blank screen. Then i close firefox and restart it. And it wants me to update the flash player again. Always the same cycle. open firefox, update flash, get blank screen, close firefox, open, update, blank, restart, ect.

  • i checked my plugins and here is what i found. under tools-addons-plugins it still shows ver 10.0 r45. when I type in about:plugins in address bar, it shows 2 shockwave flash entries. 1 shows 10.0 r45, the other is 11.0 r1. Is anybody else getting these double results?

  • From the Known Bugs page: 

    "For problems where you are unable to get in the game, please start with this FAQ as well as the self help test page."

    I hope these help - good luck!

  • Millie beat me to it, but please look at the FAQ she linked, and if that doesn't work, run the self-help test and submit a new report with your results, and we'll see what's going on. Also make sure to update flash to version 11.
