a new window opens but it is all white and in the upper left it says.

! Player Validation Failed !
Please close all game windows and log in again.

Mos11B,
I'm not questioning that this may indeed be a "bug" and I'm not sure if I have ever received the message you received, but many of us have experienced just getting a white screen when we tried to open the map or the screen openning but the map not loading.

Here's a solution that has worked for some of us but again I'm not sure if it has worked for all of us:

a) Try logging out and going back to your homepage

b) When you are at your homepage, clear the URL field
and then type waronline.net/main.asp into the URL field WITHOUT " h t t p : / / w w w "

c) With waronline.net/main.asp ONLY in the URL field,
CLICK the "go arrow"

d) Now you should be at the waronline site but FIRST BEFORE you log into the site ERASE the " h t t p : / / " that has auto-loaded in front of waronline.net/main.asp in the URL field

e) Next CLICK the REFRESH button to the right of the "go arrow" which should cause waronline.net/main.asp to appear alone in the URL field WITHOUT " h t t p : / / w w w "

f) Now log into the game and try to enter a game and open the map and wait at least a minute the first time to see if it works

PS:
You may have to try this a few times until your computer gets it into its cache memory.
Also I think waronline.net/main.asp
WITHOUT " h t t p : / / w w w " should now be in your URL history and you should access the site with it in the future.
After a few times your computer should have the necessary information in memory and there should be no problem and I also understand this will NOT be a problem with the new version that is to come.

You may even want to first try rebooting your computer to get a fresh start before doing all of the above and it has even been suggested to "delete temp files" but I have not found it necessary to do that and I assume no responsibility for advising that (i.e. even though I think it is safe to do so if it is done properly).

*I have also caused the map to open by first trying to open a few of the other game screens first. It seems to have a "kickstart" effect and the map has been openned for me afterwards that way but I have had to keep doing it that way.

**Someone else also suggested just to RIGHT CLICK on the WHITE SCREEN and CLICK REFRESH in the menu screen that appears but I haven't ever tried that and I don't know if it works.

Good luck

TR

tried that already and it didnt work

After all that I forgot something.
Are you allowing popups at this site?
You must allow popups and you might have to try the same procedure over again a few times before it will work.

The only other things I think are that you must have the latest version of "flash" installed and at least I think explorer 5 or better.

click on this link:

waronline.net/flash/newmap.asp

and if that doesn't work still, copy and paste that url into your little url box at the top of your browser.

Anyone having a problem with a black screen (i.e. map loading is not initiated even after trying the above that I have suggested), you may want to try deleting temporary files and then try again the above procedures because I have found that apparently if you have no cache memory available, then you will always have to use the "kickstart" method I mentioned.
I have deleted temporary files and then did the procedure I mentioned above and now the loading of the map is initiated as soon as the open map button is selected.
