Can't play live chess

Avatar of Slazer635

I would like to file a bug report. I am unable to play or see any live chess game. If I go to "live.chess.com" then the page loads indefinitely (forever) and then says "problem loading page". The problem happened after I set "Board Size" to "Real 3D (beta)" in Settings. I tried to set it back. I tried to change the browser. I also tried to  reset live chess layout in Settings. I recently upgraded to premium (Diamond) membership.

Bobyyyy,

We are currently investigating this. May I ask a few questions?

1/ What operating system, browser and browser version are you using?

2/Can you please clear your cache and see if that helps. 

3/ If that doesn't help, can you let me know if you see any errors in browser console?

How does it look now? Is that permanent or temporary issue?

I too am having this issue whereas I never had it before.  I have cleared my IE cache and the issue still persists.  My internet connection is perfect (checked by surfing other websites, even this website along with the fact that I am to listen to online radio and watch YouTube videos fine.  Whatever the staff was doing it'd be best to revert to a prior day or week's changes or someone should flat-out rectify this.

 

IE on Windows 8.1

It seemed like a temporary issues for me. Yesterday it just started to work again, I didn't even have to try a hard refresh.

laserflip: please log out and back in to chess.com and retry live chess then. Does it fix the issue perhaps?

Same problem for me. Live chess will not load.

 

Using a mac with Chrome and or Safari - never had a problem until a couple of days ago. Logged out, back in. Cleared cahche. No luck.

yep, same problem for me - interestingly enough I can still play the online chess, just not live.
