 General Help when games are not loading                          

 


Whenever some games are not loading, you can try the following steps.

Solution 1 - Set the Friends Panel to 'Show Friends'

The first thing you might want to check is the 'Friends Panel'. 

 

If your game does not seem to load and your 'Friends Panel' is set to hidden, then, set it to 'Show Friends.'

 

 

 

Solution 2 - Refreshing the page

 

Try is to refresh the page.

 

It's a simple step, go to Pogo.com and right-click on the left (in the blue part of the page) and select reload.

Wait a few minutes and you game should then load.

Firefox

Google Chrome

Solution 3 - Clearing the cache content

Go to pogo.com and click on the game you'd like to play.

 

Then press control key +F5 in your keyboard.

Why? This will reload the page by clearing the cache content in the browser.

Solution 4 - Sign out completely and sign back in

If you were inactive on Pogo for a while,  just sign out and sign back in, to load your game and start playing again.

 

 

Solution 5 - Open the game in a new window

 

Right-click on the play button and select 'Open link in a new window' - we recommend opening multiple windows even.

Solution 6 - Loading issues on Google Chrome

 

If you are using Google Chrome version 59+ you may need to enable Flash by clicking on the puzzle icon on the address bar (this will appear when you are starting a Flash game) and select the option to "Run all plugins this time".

Big City Adventure is a Flash game, also you can play Flash games with Firefox there is no compatibility issues with this browser and Flash.

 

You should first test your Flash Player here: CHECK FLASH

If you don't have the latest version, download it here: Adobe Flash Player download

 

Also don't forget to enable Flash in your browser.

 

If your issue persists, please post your system information and you Flash version:

 

Can you please post your system information and your Flash version.
