🌟There was a significant change recently to ALL browsers, which I posted about here in EA Pogo Forums → 🔁 Pogo Players: Browsers Are Changing — What You Need to Know | EA Forums
What changed: Browsers like Chrome and Edge now release updates more frequently, every two weeks instead of every four. Each update can change how the browser handles files that websites store on your computer. Pogo games save parts of themselves on your device, including images, game code, and other data, so they can load faster. After a browser update, or when a game receives new content, some older saved files can remain behind. When the browser tries to use a mix of old and new files, the game may become stuck while loading or display a blank white, black, or blue screen. In some cases, the game may not load at all.
Please take a moment to log out of Pogo, update your browser and device to the latest versions, clear any cached or outdated data, restart your device, and then log back in to Pogo.
If you utilize multiple browsers on your device, it is necessary to clean and update each one individually. Since browsers such as Chrome, Edge, and others function as independent programs, cleaning and updating one does not affect the other.
