Troubleshoot game loading issues - pandaroux007/RepulsBot GitHub Wiki

First of all...

Tip

Some bugs resolve themselves if you disable your adblocker (the game is paid for by poki ads and their SDK works in parallel with the game code. If ads are blocked this can impact the game).

Important

Make sure your browser is up to date. The game uses Unity on top of WebGL, which requires the latest browser versions to run (if you're playing on IE 11, don't expect it to work!). If it doesn't work with your browser, try again with another one, preferably a blank browser (never used before), to reduce the number of potential sources of problems

If despite these precautions your game still won't load, then read on.

Why is the game not loading ?

Skip the explanations and go directly to the solution

Every time you visit a website, your browser stores certain elements, such as images, to render them more quickly if you request the same page again. Instead of downloading the data again from the server, it simply retrieves it locally on your computer. This is the principle of caching.

In theory, this is very convenient, but in some cases, it poses a problem. When you visit repuls.io, your browser asks the game server to send it the game code. This will work fine until the game code is updated on the server - then, if your browser is misconfigured, it may use the cached game code, instead of the new version, which creates a conflict (the cached version will probably no longer be compatible with the architecture of the new version).

Fortunately, there's a very simple solution to this problem: clearing your cache. This method is safe for your data; it simply clears the temporary files cached by your browser, which will force it to request the latest version of the game code from the repuls.io server when you return!

How to clear the cache ?

The method varies slightly depending on your browser. If you are unable to do this, follow the instructions provided by official support (this list is not exhaustive, it only includes the most commonly used browsers):

What if the problem persists ?

If clearing the cache doesn't resolve the issue, join the Discord and ask your question on the bug forum.
