Re: Maxthon Browser

  I have used Maxthon for a long time now and have noticed recently that the loading problem is back which I have not experienced in a few years now.

  Tonight while logging off I got a message to say that Maxthon is not supported by this game and certain features will not work anymore.

  Suggested browsers to use Chrome, Iron and Firefox.  They then suggest Opera, Safari and IE.  I did take an image of the message but I don't know how to put it here.

  Wow not a lot to choose from.

  WGT why has this happened to Maxthon.

  WGT has never supported Maxthon Jen.

  I'm using Max4 and don't have any new problems. If it doesn't clear up, maybe try a re-install? Or an earlier maxthon version if your problem appeared after a flash update.

  If the game still works in Maxthon Jen, I would continue to use it. 'Unsupported' does not necessarily mean, 'will not work'. : )

  I'm still using Maxthon 3.5.2.1000 and it works fine.  Of all the browsers I've tried this is the most reliable for playing in.

  One strange thing happened a while ago though, when typing in the chat window a space between 2 words became very big, almost 2 spaces.

  Maybe that's where all those spaces that are missing from Chrome went, they're in my Maxthon   : )

  Now that is funny MainzMan.

  It happened again when I logged in.  Will try Maxthon 4.  Yes I have never had trouble with Maxthon at all.  It has been the most reliable.

  The only thing that has changed recently is WGT update and also huge Microsoft update and then yesterday there was another update from Microsoft something about 3D viewing or something.  It would seem that it started after that update.

  ah well.

  Thank you all for your suggestions.

  I play on MX5 and have had no problem with it whatsoever.

  I'm not exactly what you could call computer literate but I do remember reading somewhere in a forum post that Maxthon runs the same thingamabobs and dohickeys that WGT does.

  Maybe thats why Maxthon is the better browser for the game?

  It all comes down to your system. On mine Maxthon is iffy at best, I tried MX5 and it crashed so often that I uninstalled it., Maxthon Cloud (4.4.8.2000) does better but not as good as several other browsers. Maxthon 3 has never worked well on this PC. Just choose a browser that works well for you and have a couple as a back up if your browser of choice starts acting strangely.

  I`m trying Maxthon MX5 at the moment. Works fine with a smoother meter, played Chrome earlier, but there are some small issues. When the scorecard showes after a round i can`t click three out of the four boxes, f ex the "Main menu box" works but the other three doesn`t.

  This morning on the first round of the day it was like someone had poured superglue in the computer, rebooted and it was fine.

  Hmm, I've no idea why I didn't check it earlier but I just confirmed that every time I hit the space bar during chat I get 2 spaces.  I have to delete twice to get back to the end of the previous word.

  Any ideas?

  Scott?   :  )
