Cannot type in text boxes, then it freezes game.

Cannot type in text boxes, then it freezes game.




Not sure if this has been reported yet, but I am running Windows 10 with Explorer 11. In all the game areas where one can enter date in text boxes, such as number of troops to send in raids, or messages in parrot compositions, or brotherhood names to search in the brethren court, etc....anyplace where you can type into a box whether it is text or numbers, it will not accept any input.  Furthermore if you get anything into a text box it freezes the game and requires restart of the game.

Sometimes I can type what I want in Notepad and then cut and paste into a text box but it does not always work.

This seems to have gotten worse after my last Win 10 upgrade to Version 1703.

Hello there! 

I don't think this issue is on the Windows 10 side, as I use that version too. But I think this is the Internet Explorer issue as this browser is not optimized for online games. 

Please, try another browser to be sure that this issue is on the IE side. I prefer Google Chrome, but a lot prefer other browsers such as Firefox or Opera. If you'll have the same issue on these browsers, please, let me know then.

Win 10 dropped Explorer support so please use Chrome before you get worse than lag by using an outdated and not supported browser.

Only DL Chrome from google dot com, no where else. When you have it, let me know and I will show you what settings to use.

Thanks for the input from yourself and from others....I am trying Firefox, seems to be working OK for typing in text boxes now. 

One new glitch is that all the graphics in the Pirate Stronghold, where all my troops are shown, load very slowly.  Takes a while for all the pictures to pop up.


Actually the whole pirate stronghold thing was totally hosed, so Firefox is not good for the Pirates game.  I downloaded Google Chrome and that seems to work so far in all regards.

OK then, downloaded chrome and seems to be hitting on all cylinders, any special settings you know to adjust?


Thanks

Next, set to clear history, check boxes 1 2 3 4 7 8 only. This will also clear Flash LSOs. Leave box  5 and 6 unchecked.

What do browsing and download histories, and media licenses have to do with the game? I clean only cached images and files, cookies, and hosted app data. Works every time.

OK, I am just checking 1 2 3 7 8, losing your cookies (checking Item 4) makes a mess on other websites that no longer recognize your computer and you have to get new verification codes etc.

Unless something changed, the next time the game asks you to clear your cache, the cookies will need to go too. That's one of the reasons I stick to Chrome as my "almost only for gaming" browser, and use another browser for all the other sites.

If you use Chrome for other stuff too, you might wanna consider creating a separate "person" for the game, so it runs in isolation of that other stuff.

The only reason I recently got Chrome was because it runs this game best of all the others, normally I was using Microsoft Edge, even for other game Edgeworld.   But Chrome runs all other stuff OK, really my online experience tries to stay as SIMPLE as possible, I shy away from too much clutter and pomp.  Normally I clear the cache a lot, hopefully avoid this game having to tell me to do so.  

But thanks to everyone for the help.

Clearing the cookies is the point or why bother?


I use Chrome for in here and one other game site via FB. To watch movies etc, I use Opera. To do secure banking, I use FF. To get a laugh from the news, I use Edge.

If going on a trip, do you take the whole house or do you pack light. Dump the rubbish before it corrupts something else and I did mention, Flash LSOs have to be wiped. It saves going to the control panel and doing it there.


If you want to shoot down all I write, how about I just go away? You do it your way, I do it mine, my way works for me and all the folks I help.
