Did you edit your hosts file last year when Kong had DNS trouble? If so, there’s your error.

Topic: Kongregate / Horror Flash games

Feel free to contact the developers of such games and encourage them to upload their games here.

Kong doesn’t decide which games are hosted here (aside from removing the stolen and inappropriate ones), the developers need to take action by uploading their games.

Topic: Technical Support / Friends banned account (Gm's read this)

He should probably contact kreds@kongregate.com then.

Reading the messages from Kong on his profile would probably help too.

Topic: Cloudstone / Confirmation Button for Instant Revive Suggestion

Heh, same happened to me a few weeks ago. I wanted to escape from a group of enemies surrounding me in the rift, clicked in the left of my screen a few times ’cause I wanted to run there, but I died and my click landed on the “Revive” button. Boom, 5 Rubies wasted.

Confirmation messages when buying premium content should definitely be implemented.

Topic: Cloudstone / limitation for the usage of potions and consumables in PvP

There is already a limit on how many potions the PVP AI can use: 4.

Same bug probably.

This might help.

Topic: Technical Support / unity sound problem

Do you have a program like audacity open while playing the unity game? Certain audio editing programs are known to cause problems with unity applications.

Or did you by any chance disable sounds for unity applications in the Windows 7 or 8 sound mixer in the systray?

If not, does restarting the sound service resolve the problem? (run services.msc → “Windows Audio” → rightclick → restart the service)

Topic: Technical Support / Can't use the chat D=

Originally posted by Sanguinius:

i’m using chrome, it only works with Opera browser, but i need chrome because when playing DotD (Dawn of the Dragons), i need the script for the raids. I can’t join any raid or ask anything. Tried to reinstall flash player, the script, without the script and enabled the cookies

Only as note, the raid links scripts do work in Opera. Opera can handle most javascripts very well, even if they are coded for Chrome or Firefox.
In Opera, go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content> Java script options > Select the folder the script file is in (or if you are using other scripts in Opera already, just move the script file to the scripts directory you chose). Then restart Opera and enjoy the script.

Level 55 annoys me so much in Magnetized – any tips?

I found this path way easier than going all the way through the spiral, because that way the straight parts (where you might crash if you didn’t get the previous corner right) are shorter.

Topic: Kongregate / Absolute worst (and I guess best) Kongregate badges

Originally posted by Blackdrazon:

Again: no it can’t, because the advice isn’t for Kongregate. It’s for the the designers of the individual games. Unless you’re suggesting that in-game achievements for MMOs discourages players, which it doesn’t seem to do given their proliferation. The MMO badges are “bad” only in that you don’t like them as badges for Kongregate, not because you don’t like them as badges within the games themselves, which is what this is about. It’s about in-game achievements, Steam achievements, PlayStation trophies and 360 achievements, not meta-game achievements assigned from a content aggregator designed to draw in people for no other reason than to get badges. It’s about achievements for people that are already playing the game, because they like it, ergo talking down the game is useless when it comes to exclusively talking up the achievements for that game.

Greg talked at the GDC about “Badges on Kongregate: Trying Not to Ruin Other People’s Games”.

He also clearly stated in the first post:

Originally posted by greg:

I want to hear from you guys what the worst badges on Kongregate are. The most frustrating, least fun, and in general just the ones that made you lower your opinion of a game the most. Tell me the badges that just shouldn’t have been added to the site at all.

Not sure why you are trying to convince us the purpose of the thread was to talk about ingame achievements.
While the general theme of the specific GDC talk was to hear about ingame achievements, Greg’s presentation was a sideview on something else, Kong badges.

Topic: Technical Support / Playlist borked?

I have no games in my playlist. The message “There are no games in your playlist,
but you can always add some.” is totally misplaced.

Had to zoom out this far cause the lower part is misplaced that far.

Happens in Opera 12.15 and IE 10, Win 8, with Adblock and also without.

These Cards are used in Kongregate’s card game Kongai.

Topic: Technical Support / Certain Kong games do not load

Delete all that. That was a fix for when Kong had DNS trouble back in November, it’s outdated now and it is probably the reason for your troubles.

Topic: Kongregate / Uploading a Game

I saw a fun game on the internet (not on this site) which i want to upload it to this site. The developer is unknown. But there is no copyright on it. I downloaded that game to my computer. When i put that game in the “upload” section. It told me that it could not be uploaded. Can someone help me?

Please elaborate how you want to know that the game is copyright free? Not being blatantly labeled with a copyright tag doesn’t mean there is no copyrights holder.

Anyways:

Most importantly, uploaded games (including all components of games, such as audio) must be your original work or work you have permission to upload from the owner. Kongregate has absolutely no tolerance for uploading stolen content. Violators of this policy will automatically receive a one-week ban without warning on the first offense, and a permanent ban on the second.

You’re neither the game’s developer, nor do you have written permission from him, therefore you aren’t allowed to upload his game. You should be happy that uploading it didn’t work out.

Hey guys, we’re doing everything we can to get in touch with R2Games to get Wartune back up and running. I’m not sure what’s going on with their servers, but I’m sure they’re doing everything they can to get them fixed. I’ll post updates if I hear anything about a time frame. Thank you so so much for your patience, I’m really sorry this is happening.

Originally posted by AlisonClaire:

We got in touch with R2games. They’re aware of the issues and are actively looking into it. They haven’t nailed down the specific cause yet, but they’re hopeful it will be a quick fix.

Originally posted by AlisonClaire:

More updates! It’s DNS issues, not a DDoS attack and their entire tech team is working on getting everything sorted.

/Edit: Wartune is back up.
