Read if 2D is not loading [Black/Grey screen without errors]

Hi guys, thanks to everyone that tried to help, I appreciate that.

@Chris, not that I"m aware of. In fact I'm not even sure that I use other Java applet but I can test it, just don't know how... 8P
And here's the console:

I have Avast here on my work computer and on my home computer, and I can race from either, and always have been able to do so.

Both systems run current version of Firefox on Windows XP. I have also on occasion used Opera (11.x and 12.x versions) and it's been fine as well.



I get the "Unknown Source" error occasionally. I know it sounds dumb but try refreshing the page and see if that works. Also in past, the viewer would fail to load if I opened the viewer and then changed to another browser tab before the viewer was done loading. Try to click the link and let it load fully and see if that helps.

Hi James, yeah man I know about it, I always wait until it's loaded. Refreshing only worked for me on Live Timming, as well as cleanning the cache, but not on 2D. It's been happening for weeks, always, no matter how many times I try. I also tried Java support and discovered that it's useless... But I see your point, thanks for trying to help, guess I'll have to wait for another Java update or a miracle, unfortunately.

http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp should test that your java is running properly, but I don't think that's the problem.


From what I can see it looks like something might be blocking the server connection through port 25010. You could try making sure windows firewall or whatever other security software you have isn't blocking this, and also make sure the port isn't blocked by your router.

If you just type 'Windows firewall' into the search bar in the Windows start menu you can open it from there. Click advanced settings>inbound rules>new rule, select port and follow the wizard for TCP port number 25010.
Forwarding the port through your router will depend on what router you have so your best bet is to search for port forwarding instructions for your router model, but essentially you want to find a port forwarding option somewhere and add a rule for the same port. 

That's my suggestion, good luck! Let me know how you get on, or if you need any more help.

Thanks Chris, and thanks everyone else that tried to help. Well, again it didn't work and I'm giving up... Sorry guys for the time you lost, we all have better things to do.

I tried out the method given by Chris Foster above for the "Windows Firewall" and it worked. Prior to that it would not load.
This is my set up --
Windows 8.1 64bit  -Firefox latest edition - Eset Anti Virus Version 6 - Asus P67 pro Motherboard - I5-2500k cpu at 4.0ghz- gtx560se graphics. (Dont use anything else but Asus for your M/B)
Currently Win 8.1 does not allow some other Firewalls to load such as my normal one - Zone Alarm - that is why I am using the Windows Firewall.
Cheers

I've tried everything that I've seen on this thread and none of it has fixed the black screen of death that i get everytime I go into 2D. same error when I keep refreshing as well. I get the same code Phill Depain got with the exception access denied stuff. Is there any other updates to fixing the problem. thanks for any help possible.

@ Aaron & Robert:

Interesting that you both have the same error. Have you both tried my suggestions from post 42? (Last paragraph)

Additionally, try logging out of the iGP website and logging back in. I used to have my browser cookie expire while I was on the site (I use rather strict cookie settings), and so I'd get to the race-launch page but then the cookie would expire and I wouldn't actually be logged in.

@ Aaron:

Are you on Ubuntu as Robert is? What's your operating system?

I haven't tried Ubuntu 14.04 yet; my netbook's HD died and I haven't replaced it yet (the netbook is my Ubuntu system). I had the game working just fine under 12.04.4 LTS.

I use windows 7 64 bit, ive tried on firefox, IE, and google chrome, doesn't work in any of them. I don't know what avast or opera are, but ive done the refresh and all it does is raise the # of thread-#

Hello!

I am just getting a grey screen on Chrome browser, WIndows 7 64 bit, and I am running the latest Java. I have also used all of the links provided to fix it.

Please help I have a race in 3 1/2 hours D:


Nick

I think the problem is on their side because java raises AccesControlException when java tries to connect to 5.9.102.139 (igpmanager server). The application don't have the right to acces 5.9.102.139 or the 25010 port.

Strange though, my friend could connect to it when I couldn't. He also runs 2D.

Nick

Any news on a fix? 3 Races in a row now.
