White Screen Problem Fix

Post by kollabee »

I, and many other people are having the same problem.
White screen.
No matter what I use I always have a all white screen. I have tried clearing my cache, it doesnt work.

WEO needs to fix this. This game is extraordinarily fun, but I cant ever play it.

I am having the same problem as well. I believe webearthonline is becoming too outdated for the latest Java updates. Sadly I do not believe there will be a update for Webearth as most people have slowly stopped playing this game and updating it. Saddening to see such a fun game slowly die off...
I will always warn you if you are overstepping your boundaries, but I can be the kindest person there is.

I heard Chrome browsers were dropping support for Java (Google is in a lawsuit with Oracle over Java API's on mobile devices as all Android devices run on Java)
I have been using a current version of Firefox on Windows 7 with the latest version of Java installed and it is working.
What operating systems, browsers and versions are you using?
Which ones have you tried?

I know this topic is pretty old but I would just like to add on that WEO doesn't work for me (along with others whom I know play,) on google chrome. I find FireFox and Internet Explorer (on windows 7 or older computers) runs the game just fine.

You will have to use a browser that supports the Java Applet Plugin on your computer.
The list has been shortened in the past couple of years as some browsers have dropped support for some plugins and plugins all together.
I have been using Firefox (V49) and Internet Explorer 11 successfully on Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Browsers with Java Supported
  • Firefox (versions before 52)
  • Internet Explorer
  • Chrome (versions before 45)
  • Safari
Browsers where Java Not Support
  • Firefox (as of version 52)
  • Google Chrome (as of version 45)
  • Chromium based browsers like Vivaldi, Opera
  • Microsoft Edge
Operating Systems that have Java support
  • Windows
  • OSX
  • Linux
Operating Systems that have NO Java support
  • IOS
  • Chrome OS
Java is used heavily in Andoid, but the browsers on Android don't support the Java plugin.

I have this problem on every browser I try... even Internet explorer. What's going on? Is IE and Firefox not working anymore?

Hey Pretzel, Sino found a solution via Google Chrome through the IE Tab add on. Once at WebEarthOnline right click on play then go down to IE Tab options and click open with IE Tab.
