Game face won't load
- 8 years ago
Possible Solution: @EA_Barry
I had been having problems with this going back to the "Internal Server" error stuff from a few months back. Upon receiving UFC 3 yesterday, I decided to try again. I was able to add my pictures, I could see them just fine, and I was able to move the crosshairs and mark the key spots on the pictures. However, when trying to generate the game face, I got the "cannot upload photos or generate game face" error. I tried in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. None of them worked.
After reading through this thread and a few others, and seeing the few random people who were able to get it to work, I decided to try on an older laptop that runs Windows 7. I downloaded the brand new release of Firefox, logged into my EA account, pulled up Game Face, and did the same steps I had before.
But this time, clicking on the generate game face button loaded a new page. The circle spun and spun, and a couple minutes later, lo and behold, there it was: my game face. I was able to save it without issue, and upon starting up UFC 3, it downloaded just fine.
Conclusion: there's something about Windows 10 (and I guess other newer OS's) that EA's software does not like. It's possible it has something to do with the Unity plugin, but considering I never downloaded it on my Win 7 laptop or added anything extra to a fresh Firefox installation, I doubt it. Of course, there could be other factors at play, but I tried everything I could think of on my Win 10 PC (turned off anti-virus/Windows Defender, disabled pop up blockers, added Unity to Firefox exceptions list, etc) and nothing made any kind of difference. But on my first attempt on the Win 7 laptop, without changing anything, it works perfectly.
If you have access to a Windows 7 PC with Firefox (might even be worth trying on Windows 8), I'd definitely give it a shot.
My PC specs for reference (the one Game Face DID NOT work on):Windows 10 Pro (64 bit)
Intel i5 4960K 3.5GHZ
