I FINALLY GOT THE PAGE TO SHOW!!! I changed my default browser to the Windows 8 Internet Explorer and it opened without a problem but now, I have another problem. The page is blank. Like it says Game Dev Tycoon and the top: here is the page it takes me too but the body of the website is blank white for me. Please help if you could. EDIT: I took the link off because it could have given everyone a free Steam key but when I clicked it in desktop Google Chrome, IT WORKED!!! I AM GOING TO TRY TO ENTER IT IN STEAM! YESSSSSSS!!! AHHHHHH! Sorry… I may have over exaggerated but it has been SO annoying…especially for such an EASY fix. Thank all of you for the help. If a problem occurs, I will let you guys know!
Glad to hear it worked but I’m really not sure what the issue was. @VlentfulGaming Can you outline in a numbered list what the necessary steps were to solve this?
Hopefully this can help someone else in the future.
Yes, I can.
- Google Chrome was my default browser on desktop which I believe caused the problem.
- Unistalled Game Dev Tycoon
- Went to Windows Store
- Logged into account that purchased Game Dev Tycoon
- Reinstalled Game Dev Tycoon and allowed permission for app to use my internet connection
- Went to Control Panel>Network and Internet>Internet Options and then selected the “Security” tab
- Made security level “Custom” and enabled most things that made me unprotected.
- Disabled pop-up blocker in the “Custom” settings from step 7 and disabled pop-up blocker on the “Privacy” tab
- Made mouse go to top right corner and clicked on “Search”
- In the search box I typed “Default Programs”
- Clicked on “Set Default Programs” option
- Made Internet Explorer one of my default programs(came pre-installed with my Windows 8 so in other words, made the Windows 8 version of Internet Explorer my default browser; the Internet Explorer version is Internet Explorer 11)
- Went to Game Dev Tycoon and loaded up a save and right clicked and then click “Get Steam Key” and waited while my heart beat rapidly
- Then, it loaded up Internet Explorer 11 next to my game(like in a somewhat side panel you could call it I guess) and then I copied the link to the website because the website was white and didn’t(fully) load
- Went to Google Chrome and pasted the copied link from my clipboard into the URL box and pressed “Enter”
- Everything loaded up and I clicked on the box with my Steam key and it said it automatically copied the key to my clipboard(and it did)
- Then I opened up Steam, redeemed the key(there is already a link on your website somewhere on how to redeem a key), download and installed the game, then opened up the game and started playing(with mods)(there is already a link on your website somewhere on how to redeem a key)
- Then I went back and made Google Chrome my default browser again
This is everything that I did to fix this. Now, I am sure that this would for the desktop version of Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer but I have only tried it on Chrome. But the main key here is I made Internet Explorer my default browser and everything was good.
Thanks for the feedback about your diagnostic steps @VlentfulGaming and glad you got it sorted! Enjoy the mods!
