original problem
.
.
.
So I have been playing this game since week one of world 15, got a verified account, build a few nice bases,
collected all the cute animals I wanted and recently it just stopped loading after I try to run the .jar file.
it gets as far as this loading pop-up screen then just shuts down.
I tried checking my drivers (they were all upto date).
tried uninstalling an re installing java.
trying older versions of java, eg 20 instead of 22.
tried turning off fire wall and vpn.
tried adjusting system environment variables.
broke out an older laptop.
repeated this process on that too.
I'm now concerned about my cows, horses, and pigs that are about to probably run out of foods
since its been like a whole week I've been stuck out of the game.
my partner who I play with and they use an identical computer(it worked nice so we just got 2 of them)
as me on the same internet connection
with the same vpn
can still get into the game ...
so I'm very stumped and hoping for any suggestions,
And yes I read though like 20 different posts on here and tried
every remedy they offered to no avail.
