Comment #6 on issue 22432 by [email protected]: Pogo Games will not work http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22432
This is not limited to Chrome browser. For some reason Pogo just simply does not work well with linux! I am running Kubuntu on one computer, Ubuntu 9.10 on another one. I have yet to find a browser that will work well with Pogo! Chrome crashes (as mentioned above) Epiphany ran fairly well, with the occasional crash (about every 3rd game), until a couple of updates ago (Java link broken) Opera 10.xx simply will not run (similar crash as Chrome) Konqueror will not run (java problems) Firefox 3.5 will run all the games I have tried on Pogo but has lots of problems with audio. The audio file will go into a continuous loop after winning a game and becomes very annoying. The game will continue to run, though. Honestly, the best luck I have had is to run Opera for windoze in Wine. Of the 6 browsers currently on this machine it is the only one that works with Pogo consistently! All except Epiphany are running current sun java and current flash player. All will pass a java test and will play games at other sites, both java and flash. I don't know what is different about the Pogo/EA site but something is NOT standard and definitely only plays well with Windoze! I can even set Opera up to spoof Internet Explorer but it still won't run Pogo! Does anybody have any answers other than using the old windoze laptop? I am getting more curious about this by the day...I have played with Pogo on linux machines off and on for several years. It seems when one browser starts working something will change to break it in just a couple of months! -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
