StrickenBiged Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Something weird is going on when I try to create a trophy guide. I go to the trophy list for the game I would like to create a guide for. I click "Create a Trophy or Gameplay Guide". I enter a brief description, and then click "create guide" and... nothing. The pop-up disappears, the page appears to refresh, and I am left with the trophy list page. No new guide is generated in my list of guides authored by me either. I am running Chrome in a Windows 10 environment. This never used to happen to me in Windows 8, but I have recently upgraded my machine. Anyone know what's going on or how to fix? Edited August 10, 2017 by StrickenBiged clarification of problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the plat for this game so... I wouldn't have thought it was a "you don't have any trophies in this game" kind of issue.

Miles_Warren Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Probably doesn't help with anything but I just created a trophy guide for a random game to see if this problem affects other people. I had no difficulty and the guide created just fine. I am running Chrome on Windows 8. Perhaps it is a problem with Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 For reference, I just tried to do the same thing in this new, stupid, MS Edge browser (urgh... don't like it) and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Same thing happened in both those browsers - no guide created and clicking "Create Guide" just refresh's the trophy list page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcavan Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Probably not the issue but wondering if the site uses flash or java for guide creation actions and you are missing those plug-ins with your browser(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markcavan Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Flash you can get from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and Java from https://java.com/en/download/. As I say may not be your issue but certainly worth a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought it was a "you don't have any trophies in this game" kind of issue. It's the period at the end of the game name. I had the same problem with Get Off My Lawn! a few years back for the same reason. @BlindMango can change the game's name to not include the period and it should work.

Satoshi Ookami Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 A bit related. I've written a great portion of text for one trophy without saving but accidentally refreshed the tab. I thought okay, no problem, but I didn't have the newly written text available for continuing o.O Can I somehow revive the lost text? Or can it be fetched from DB? Or it is lost forever?

I believe the old site saved a draft, but on the new site it only saves revisions that you saved, so in that case you'd lose anything you didn't save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I already rewrote it so nothing lost, just wanted to ask =D However, I believe even the new site does save drafts sometimes, I've returned to a draft many times even on the new site.
