Fast checks first, then deeper fixes if the game still won’t run.

Quick fixes (try these first)

  1. Refresh the tab and wait 10–20 seconds for assets to load.
  2. Open an Incognito/Private window to rule out cache issues.
  3. Disable extensions (especially ad blockers/script blockers) and reload.
  4. Clear site data (cache/cookies) for the portal, then reload.
  5. Try another browser (Chrome / Edge / Firefox).
  6. Ensure Hardware Acceleration is enabled in browser settings.
