  cs is telling me I should  check the system requirements for the early access as its different than flash but where would I find that LOL once again am I the only one with this problem I dont know if it could be my windows 8.1 is the culprit

  Look at system requirements here

  This is all I see mentioned under the desktop game.

  Desktop Game:

  The desktop app may work on earlier versions of Windows and macOS than mentioned above, but we don't officially support operating systems that Microsoft and Apple no longer support.

  Desktop Browsers:

  Firefox 60 and higher

  Chrome 68 and higher

  Opera 55 and higher

  Vivaldi 2.0 and higher

  Microsoft Edge (new) 79 and higher

  Microsoft Edge (old) 42 and higher

  Internet Explorer 11 until end of 2020

  Safari 11 and higher

  NOT Maxthon

  I don't see anything likely to make a difference.

  Scott your help is always appreciated , it all my fault that im not too swift with these computers and im prolly not explaining it correctly cs is telling me I should  check the system requirements for the early access as its different than flash but where would I find that LOL once again am I the only one with this problem I dont know if it could be my windows 8.1 is the culprit im by myself and dont have anyone here to ask questions Mel

  Thank you.

  I am not convinced that your system is to blame. The game runs because you can hear the music.

  What computer do you use. Desktop, laptop, make, model, screen size?

  Okay Mel, thanks for the info.

  My (everyones?) profile doesn't show an

  Add as Friend button anymore unless you enable flash on the page. I've sent you a friend request though.

  Microsoft edge is okay in my opinion. It's based on Chrome and is very similar. You should not have any issues if you want to download and install it.

  Now, back to the game. When it is running, can you see your desktop's taskbar?

  I'm not computer savvy . Ask scott .

  But i have been playing for over a decade .

  I sign on using google and now google chrome .

  Games starts first time , every time .

  No adverts .

  I have no idea of other people's problems on here .

  I do have a look at the new game set up now and again .

  Once more it works without any messing about .

  My laptop is 6 years old and not the most expensive buy .

  Maybe i have just been lucky .

  Happy hitting guys .

  Does the game window show anything, or is it totally black?

  Maybe it is your system after all Mel. Perhaps your graphics driver needs updating.
