How to avoid and fix the Loading & Network Error problem!

This is a guide on how to avoid or even fix the "Network Connection Error" and "Loading..." problems Evony is currently giving people.
Ok, this guide will be updated with new suggestions daily, so if the steps below don't work, please check back soon.

Step 1 - Flushing your DNS
A) Click "Start" and select "Run" (or simply search "run" for vista/7 users).
B) Once the Run console has opened, type "cmd" without the ".
C) Once the CMD Console has opened, type "ipconfig /flushdns" without the ".
Tip: Remember to do this at least once a week to avoid a lot of common problems.

Step 2 - Clearing your Cache/Cookies/Temporary Internet Files
If you are using Firefox -

If you are using Opera -

Tip: the following links contain information on how to clear your cache, simply tick the "cookies and temporary files" boxes once you have found out how to clear the cache.

Alternative Solution
If Step 1 and 2 are not solving your problem, simply try changing your browser...
From personal experience, I find Google Chrome gives out the least problems.

Still not working?
Your server is currently experiencing technical difficulties, or it is offline.

Hope this helps!

I have a dns cache disabler and it still doesn't work, so I think it could be a cookie problem for me... I can get on for 5 mins through other browsers

I discovered this method a long time ago ON MY OWN!!!

The causes to this issue will vary between several different things... if its not dns, its cookies, if its not either, it's your server... simple

Also, please try not to quote the whole post, it really makes the scrolling a pain..

Well whoop-ti-diddle-dooooo aren't you great :cheer:

+1 rep for OP.

Sorry for quoting the whole post earlier, I didn't even want to quote, I clicked on the wrong thing, so sorry about that, Mine works now though. Thanks for the method.

No problem :) it's no big deal, but people may copy and then the threat really does get too big ;P

Thanks!! Good post :)

No problem :)

Its not always the browser thats is the issue, my concern is all the memory leaks that this application brings.
This ram consuming is almost equal to a game exe of the magnitude of for ex World of warcraft, call of duty ect ect .

I honestly think its due to the chat... alliance, world, whispers... they all pile up after a while

Is the problem your talking about the slow load time of the Main Evony page where you log in and select which server? Cuz thats where my problem is.. takes FOREVER.

It didn't work for me I still get hung up at the blue screen with the globe sometimes I get a network error other times it just hangs there. I've also tried Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Uninstalling/Reinstalling Flash. Deleting Temp internet files. Allowing flash to store from Evony on my HD (This shouldn't matter as my laptop doesn't allow saving and can play). I've also tried adding evony to my safe site list. For a little while I was able to log in through the beta web address but that has stopped working. Anyone able to help me?

There are several things to try:

Clear your cache and cookies
Refresh your browser
Check for updates to your browser, graphics card, and to Adobe Flash player

Also, if you're on an older pc with a low amount of RAM (these days, 2 gigs is the bare minimum for decent processing speed), that would explain your slow loading time on a page with a lot of Flash graphics.

If you have enough RAM and a decent processor (3-4 gigs RAM and at least a 1.8g or better processor, preferably dual-core), then it could also be your internet connection. If you're using a wireless network, there may be too much interference, and if you are wired into cable or DSL, it may be that your lines are old and need updating.

There are many things that can mess with the time it takes to load a page, and not all of them are the fault of the website.

well mine was loading and it got to 20% and stop loading and now i can not get past 20% to get on the game

My computer is about 5-6 years old... which is pretty old for a computer so maybe that's the problem.

i did the ipconfig /flushdns but it says "The requested operation requires elevation"...
im noob to this. any help is very much appreciated.

btw i manage to log in to my office pc but not at home. im using different ips too.

Yeah, so far nothing has helped. I've recently tried disabling some of the add-ons that are installed and that didn't help. Anyone have any more ideas?

Good post but ipconfig/renew can work as well just for the record :-)
