Hi Folks! You will notice that there are new and different ads on the site moving forward. We have done a revamp on our ad networks and ad placements.

If you encounter any issues, or have any feedback you'd like to give, please let us know in this thread! My biggest concerns are intrusive ads, ads that cause lag, ads that prevent games from loading, or inappropriate ads.

Thanks for your help and comments!

As a note, you said you turned off the ad roll on MMOs, but as far as I can see it is still fully active.

@Erile We have not turned that pre-roll off, although if we can not get this fixed, we'll consider doing it. I had thought this issue was limited to MMO games... but it appears not to be. Therefore disabling just on MMOs wouldn't circumvent anything.

As mentioned in my post earlier today, if you (or others) are able to submit a HAR file + other information to support@armorgames.com, it might help us properly solve this mystery.

These adds mean I can't play
Up to now it was a good time being around.
It is not any more - so I leave.
Good bye!

@tasselfoot, trying to figure out how to get the HAR file, haven't figured it out yet. The instructions mention some things I can't find.

Ads do not load up on the actual games, but I am very happy to say that they sometimes show up on the side.

@Erile if I can help, I'd love to get that file from you. You can message me on Discord and I can assist there? I'm tasselfoot (or Tasselfoot#2465) there, or you can join the Armor Games discord and DM me from that.

@magusdclxvi I understand your concern, but previously, this ad would play automatically. With more recent changes to how browsers handle auto-play content, it causes issues to the ads and the game to have it auto-play. This is why most of our recently released games (in the past year or two) require you to interact with the game frame in order to start playing the game. Instead of that, now you interact before the ad instead of after it. But the result is the same... ad plays, then game.

We hope that our nearly 20 years of providing you games (and ads, to keep the site running) gives us some level of your trust already, to know that we are doing our best to provide a great experience for you.

Are folks who were having game loading issues (black or striped screen) still having these issues? Or have they been fixed?

Hi @zohan59 are you able to email me at support@armorgames.com and include any browser console errors + a screenshot of what the screen looks like? And if this is happening on all games, some games, only 1 game? This is Safari?

I haven't had any luck figuring out the file you want. The instructions I found online are missing something in regards to how chrome gets records. I don't have access to discord. Its hard at this point, all my progress in the MMO I was playing is lost, and I can't get most of that back after such a long absence - it would take at least a year of gameplay because of how the game works.

As a note, a lot of people posted images of the problem. Its very basic. You hit &quotlay" on the screen, and it goes to the diagonal grey/black striped transition and freezes there, or goes through that to a black screen and freezes there.
It basically killed the site for some people.
