if you could let me have a link i'd like to see these p/c 's in uk only get stuff in £100's so $100 is about £60 and probably could find that 😁

This idea was good of not having to update and download flash but seriously its worse.

PLs change it back to flash.

I lost interest in playing the game i will even play stick man games.

Flash was better as it did not lag and the graphics was good.

back to flash

html5 is not playable

loading incomplete windows and hangs crashes about every 10 minutes

when good games have the smart idea to end the flash site and html5 is not repaired, its end op empire for me

I have had zero problems with the changeover to HTML5 using the Chrome browser on a desktop. Cant say the same for a number of my alliance members though who are having the same problems as described in this thread. I am not 100% positive on this, but is appears that most who are having problems are using laptops, notebooks or tablets and at least one is using an Apple laptop.

System is super slow, sluggish and unreliable. Locks up regularly and requires me to close the window and log back in.

Player survey received but system now says that I am "Unable to open due to invalid characters in text"...so much for my opinion.

Really it's extremely easy. If GGE can't come up with a better solution and also make it easy to use on a mobile device then vote with your feet. I might be a little miffed about losing everything (and more importantly the friends you make here) but ii is just a game. Just easy to walk away and not deal with the headaches. Like I say, I come here to relax but if they make it a burden to play, then count me out.

Ok, this was a fun one...… Clearly a LAG issue, but a different was of showing it.  I decided to burn off a few WoF tickets.  Pressed the SPIN WHEEL button a few times like normal.  Then on the next press, the POP-UP screen gets in the way.  I have to close out the ads while the wheel is spinning behind them all.

Not a big deal, and possibly a know thing from the POP-UP rework, but the first time I have seen it.



New or just new to me...……..

I play on a new, 2018 iPad, and have tried Firefox and Chrome.  You can’t play Empire via an app, b/c only Empire Four Kingdoms is available as an APP.  I was able to get on for brief flashes on a desktop feature, but this flashed on and off for a few seconds only.  This makes sense, as it’s neither a desktop nor laptop.  What are the options then?  How can we play on mobile devices? A letter from support saying Puffn is no longer supported and “sorry for the inconvenience” is not really helpful, folks.

Continuously keep getting loading screens when bringing up other boxes, such as achievements, equip., etc. Have reset and cleared everything and using Chrome.

Definitely needs work, and hopefully very soon. To many issues to even mention, even with the chrome I'm using.

Hey, check out my earlier reply to this one.

Puffin browser is not currently working on all devices because it is a flash based browser and the game has now transitioned to HTML5. You may use the URL: https://empire.goodgamestudios.com/flash within your Puffin browser as a temporary workaround to the HTML5 transition.

Good news for mobile players (and all other players) is that soon you won't need to use the Puffin browser to play GoodGame Empire. Since HTML5 is supported on mobile browsers, like Chrome, you'll soon be able to play GGE on a mobile device without a specialty browser. Currently we are waiting on the development team to map out the mobile controls, but for those of you on Puffin this is something you can expect in the near future. In the meantime, feel free to use the flash link provided above.

Html5 is broken, alot of players are having problems with incoming attacks that don't show up on the html5 version but do show on the flash version.

[5034922] Philt123 (GB1) [GB1] :: March 7, 2019, 9:26 a.m.

I havent had a problem on my new Desktop.  But last night there is no way i could get into outer relms on my laptop, its a couple of years old but a pretty top end laptop.  

The main game was fine, but when i clicked outers it kept going in then flickign out to the loading screen over and over.  aparantly my alliance friends told me i was showing online event though all i had was the loading screen.

No really ideal when you are getting attacked.  Pretty dissapointing there has obviously been a huge lack of testing on this version.   Not to mention the issue with outers meaning some players managed to glitch  scores in the millions overnight, the game is broken, badly broken yet you keep changing stuff that doesnt need changing instead of repairing that that does.  The basic core of the game is a good one all those years ago you hit on a good idea, that idea is still a good one today, but your failiure to protect the integrity of the game is quite astounding.  Its your primary job, by far the most important role the owner / developer of the game has.   Go back to basics make sure the game functions correctly for your customers, and ensure that you remove the cheats from the game and you stand half a chance, ignore those very simple basics and it doesnt matter what else you do to the game you will fail badly.
