Merge Academy not working on Chrome

Merge Academy won't finish loading on Chrome. This happens often, fails on Saturday, fixes itself by Monday (usually). I tried on Edge (same computer), worked fine. HP All-in-one, Windows 11.

    Hello! Sorry to hear you are having and issues with loading games, if it's happening often that is an issue and I can imagine very frustrating. 

    I am an Edge user too and I haven't seen any stalls on games in recent memory. There are actually several reasons why our browser or device would stall in loading games on a browser-based gaming site like Pogo. Its honestly all about configuration. That kind of 80% stall usually points to a caching issue, a WebGL/graphics compatibility hiccup, or a script that Edge is blocking or failing to execute properly.

    Steps to help with constant stalling:

    Clean Up Junk & Temporary Files: This often Fixes Load Freezes issues by removing corrupted cached files that can cause a game to stall at the same percentage every time. 

    • Windows: Settings → System → Storage → Temporary files
    • Check Temporary files, Browser cache, and System cache
    • Click Remove files
    • Restart your browser afterward

     

    Update Your Browser: Outdated browsers can fail to load WebGL or script-heavy games.

    • Edge: Menu (⋯) → Help & feedback → About Microsoft Edge
    • Let Edge check for updates
    • Install any available update
    • Fully close and reopen Edge

     

    Check for Device (Windows) Updates: System updates include security patches and graphics compatibility fixes.

    • Windows: Settings → Windows Update
    • Click Check for updates
    • Install all available updates
    • Restart your device

     

    Check Browser Extensions - Common Cause - Extensions like ad blockers or privacy tools can block game scripts.

    • Edge: Menu (⋯) → Extensions
    • Temporarily turn off all extensions
    • Reload the game
    • If it works, re-enable extensions one at a time to find the culprit

     

    Update Your Graphics Driver 🌈 Critical for Game Loading and Displaying. The graphics driver is what actually loads and renders the game. Outdated drivers often cause 70–90% load stalls.

    When you have a moment, please go through the troubleshooting steps. Often one step resolves the issue, but occasionally it takes a combination. Be rest assured, Merge Academy is working as intended on the Pogo website. 

  • Happens way to often, wish they would take this game out of rotation for challenges, I use Edge, game will load too about 80% then stall.
