Why won't Words With Friends load on FB?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47127points) April 21st, 2013

When I click on WWF, it goes to the page, then just spins and spins, looking for friends. Then says it can’t connect to FB. I noticed, however, that if I click on an icon on my toolbar to go somewhere else (like here) suddenly names will populate on the right. I only get a quick glimpse…and they’re really weird names of “people” I have never heard of….

Do you think it has anything to do with this? Or is it a FB problem? No one else is experiencing it.

I downloaded MAMB ? Pro. Paid for it. It found 8 items, all from some pup software something.

In my opinion it’s just Zynga being Zynga. I go through this problem periodically with WWF and Draw Something. It’s tiresome but it hasn’t stopped me from playing the game.

I don’t play that specific game, but I am aware that Zynga is having major issues with many of its games right now. It’s a Zynga problem.

That makes me feel a lot better, @jonsblond. It coincided with last nights screaming virus attack, which I think I got cleared up (A million thanks to Espiritus Covum and ETPro.) so the fact that it was still happening had me worried.

I think maybe my son did something. I told him about the problem I was having and he said, “Ha! Now you can’t prove that you beat me for the FIRST TIME (out of about 10 games.)” :)

I found this in Zynga forums for you- http://www.zyngaplayerforums.com/showthread.php?1781274-Facebook-Loading-Issue-Reports-April&highlight=words+with+friends

If you look at the posts from other players you’ll see you aren’t the only one with loading issues. There’s a different game that I play and I couldn’t access my game for a month. I spent a lot of time in the forums trying to find help and you wouldn’t believe how many people are there complaining. I’m surprised Zynga is still in business,

I’m curious as to why I seem to be the only one having the problem at the moment…

Wait…..reading your links explains that to me ^^^^ It said, “If you have posted the words ‘pajamas’ and ‘food stamps’ in the same sentence your computer is toast.” :)

Man….I did everything (also got rid of about 20 apps that I didn’t even realized I’d subscribed to)...still no luck. I’ll just keep trying.

Thanks for the help guys.

Words with Friends is an unreliable Android app as well; my wife has all sorts of issues with it.

It’s working now. Thanks.

Don’t get your hopes up too soon. You’ll be lucky if you don’t have more problems in the near future.

Dutchess_III's avatar

But at least I’ll know it isn’t a virus on my computer. That was my biggest concern. I can live without games on FB!

jonsblond's avatar

It is good to know it’s not a virus. :)

Yes! I was hoppin’ last night!
