PvP 2 not working

[vivimancer]

It seems to really dislike me trying to start a pvp2 game keeps causing fatal crash errors (in firefox), also seems to cause problems with BBC iPlayer.

The servers seen to be a bit overloaded.
Repeatedly entering and exiting if you dont connect seems to work.
The fastest way to see if you are connected is to look at your mark, if it shows in 3-4 seconds your good, else try again.

i've been having the same problem but have happened upon a work around: log in to PVP1 first, long enough to see your mark appear. then log out (before you are matched for a game, ideally) and log in to PVP2...i found most times this caused my mark to appear in the PVP2 match screen much sooner, which as suggested above is a good indicator you'll get a game.

When I try PVP duel in Firefox it crashes. As soon as I press Go in pvp duel firefox freezes for 20-30 secs, then the flash player have crashed so I have to reload the site. It happens every single time, but no if I use Chrome or another computer. It started about 1-2 week ago.

Yeah, it is due to the so-called crash protection in Firefox that prevents the browser from crashing too when a plugin does.

Here's a 'trick' that worked for me, but it is not guaranteed to work. This also helps if you have a slow computer and get random flash crashes when loading your deck.
You can turn the crash protection off by doing the following steps:

Type about:config in the address bar.
Press I'll be careful, I promise!
You will see lots of settings and a bar on the top. Type dom there
This will show all the strings that contain the word dom. Find the following 3 strings and set their values to what I underlined:

dom.ipc.plugins.enabled false
dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs -1
dom.max_script_run_time 0

Restart your browser, just in case.

This fixed the issue for me, but not sure about others. I also don't know how it works in older versions (I have 4.13), but I hope this helps someone.

Alternatively you can simply switch to Chrome.

Same. Even checking the connections crashes flash for me. How come it works for chrome people?

[Fippe94]

Yeah checking the connection page crashes it for me too.But pvp1 works fine.

I guess reading my post is too much to ask for. Although I admit I missed a keyword there ('in Firefox'), but it should have been fairly obvious nevertheless.
Firefox has this feature, Chrome does not.

What about IE? Or Safari?

[Shantu]

... No idea, it's probably FF only.

[furballdn]

IE works fine.

I have this same problem in FF - but, on top of that, when I use Chrome, for some reason the Forums won't recognize my login info!

Currently have to run both browsers simultaneously - not the optimal solution.

Anybody else having this issue as well?  Any fixes?

(Stupid Mozilla, trying to "fix" what wasn't broken in the first place....)

I use opera.
It's kinda memory-heavy though, it reaches 1.1gb of ram sometimes
