Chat not working (IE11)

[Dr Super Good]

What should happen

You click Chat, scroll down to and press "I accept" and then you are taken into chat showing all users in the chat, including yourself.​

What does happen

When I try and log into chat using the "I accept" button, the page hangs at loading. The only way to get into chat is to perform a full refresh (Ctrl + refresh) on the page and then the "I accept" button will proceed to chat. Once in chat you are placed at the "Console" tab and manually have to change to "Lobby". Once in "Lobby" you are not shown as being in the chat, any messages you make come from your identity number and you appear to not be able to receive any messages or be heard by anyone.​

Specification that cause the problem

Windows 7 Ultimate using Internet Explorer 11 (mandatory update version).​

Hello there, I have exactly the same problem.. I think it started just like 2 days ago for me.

I was thinking it was only because I messed something up in my Windows 8.. so now I guess it's maybe not us who cause this bug.

Edit: Strange is, that once after some time it suddenly worked for me yesterday, but today it's not working again.

This is on my list to get fixed. If anyone cares to look into exactly what makes it break on IE11, be my guest.
Meanwhile people can use Firefox or Chrome, they both work fine.

People who uses IE has serious issues, Firefox is your answer.

I usually have my browser open when I am playing games, so using firefox is not really an option due to its high resource consumption. Chrome might work but I do not like all the adverts everywhere.

The strange thing is as soon as I started developer mode now to look into it, it worked absolutely perfectly... Maybe its some security setting?

Could be that console.log does not exist in IE 11 unless developer mode is active.

Do you refer to the chrome in-app ad or the chrome advertised everywhere? Afaik, there aren't any ads at chrome (unless you use a third party ad).

When you search for anything using the quick search, the results often contain promoted links by google which are advertisements and seldom related to what you want. It also tries to advertise you to use your google account.

While I usually recommend firefox, I believe there is alternatives. For instance: Chromium

But others like these (which I haven't tried - might work as well). But heck if developer version works for you then that can take the place of a temp fix.

 

[Ralle]

The experience in IE11 is terrible but at least it works now. I will need to give it more attention soon.

Use SRWare Iron, it's googles Chromium (Open Source Browser Engine) without the google spy stuff.

Then you get any AdBlock Extension for it.

I have had enough of browser wars. Please stop suggesting browsers. Go to the dedicated Browser Wars thread in OT if you have something to say.
