Introduction to Pogo Technical Support

Pogo games run inside your web browser and rely on your computer system, browser version, and software updates (Java and Flash) to run properly. If anything is not updated or doesn’t work together, you may see that your game will not load, crashes mid-game, runs slow, or other issues. This guide walks you through the steps to resolve the most common causes of game issues on Pogo.

Is there a Wednesday Challenge?

If there is a Wednesday Challenge for the game that you are having trouble playing, that is the most likely cause of any loading issues, especially if it's Wednesday. Challenges update each Wednesday, and everyone is excited to work on the latest Challenge. If server traffic to that game is too high, it can prevent some players from loading the game properly.

If this happens, please wait a few hours and try again or try a game room that has less active players.

If you don't believe this is related, you can continue with the following steps.

Step 1: Check your computer and software with Pogo's Compatibility Scan tool Step 2: Check if your game uses Java or Flash

Step 3: Still having issues?

Step 1: Check your computer and software with Pogo's Compatibility Scan toolYou can use Pogo's Compatibility Scan tool to quickly identify the most common issues. The Compatibility Scan guide walks you through scanning your computer and provides the solutions for any errors that the scan finds.

After troubleshooting the errors, always run the scan again to see if the errors are gone.

If the scan does not display any errors or if you followed the steps but still see errors, continue with the following steps.

Step 2: Check if your game uses Java or Flash
