PCW Chat Users who use Google Chrome

[A Ghost in the Wind]

For anyone who has tried to access chat via Google Chrome, you may not be able to. In order to do so, please follow the information below:

Enabling NPAPI in Chrome Version 42 and later

As of Chrome Version 42, an additional configuration step is required to continue using NPAPI plugins.



In your URL bar, enter:

chrome://flags/#enable-npapi

Click the Enable link for the Enable NPAPI configuration option.

Click the Relaunch button that now appears at the bottom of the configuration page.

Developers and System administrators looking for alternative ways to support users of Chrome should see this blog, in particular "Running Web Start applications outside of a browser" and "Additional Deployment Options" section.

Does this work for IE users? Cuz I can't get the chat to work either.

If there's a bar at the bottom (or possibly at the top) saying your blocked because your using an out of date version, push the "run anyway" button at the side of the update button on that bar... that'll get it to work.

Otherwise, additional technical diagnosis is going to require more information on why it wont work

[Nathan Saniti]

Apparently, when I try to enter, it doesn't have Active X installed and my computer won't allow it to install because it doesn't know the publisher.

[Andy D]

hmm... you should be able to download it off that bar itself but its interesting that it's saying that. I would have assumed Java was the only thing needed to be installed, I guess I was wrong.

The problem with Active X is its not just 1 single program, its a overall blanket term for general add-ons for IE.

Chrome has more or less completely fucked with being able to run java. It's an issue.

I've done all sorts of stuff with Chrome lately, and still can't get the damn chat to load. I've given up on it, basically.

[High Tide]

Alright so I did that and I got a different screen. Updating my Java is what's the next step for me, we'll see if I can get in with that.

[High Tide]

SUCCESS! HALLELUJAH thank you .

The walkthrough worked for me. I'm in!
