I had an issue last night similar and I don't know why. I think it's something to do with the java update recently. I could load iGP fine on explorer, opera, FF but chrome wouldn't work for some weird reason. The screen just stayed black on both live timing and 2D. 30 minutes later it magically started working again.
Java: 1.6 Update 33 (the newest version)
Browser: Firefox 13.0.1 (the newest release version)
OS: Windows XP SP3
Flash: Didn't realize 2D used Flash at all. Have Flashblock add-on, but disabled on this site. Firefox Add-Ons page says my Flash version is 11.2 r202 (11.2.202.235)
Just submitted a ticket to the helpdesk (which needs a higher character limit for messages).
Marius handled my ticket and hooked it up with a one-week subscription.
Here's hoping no further issues, but I'll be subscribing soon most likely so it won't matter to me. Just sucks for the people on free-to-play.
Still wish I knew why none of the pages would load. First time I've had a problem with any of the site not working and of course with my luck it's the part of the site I need the most at the very time I need it. You'd think my name was Murphy.
