Normally, I play SK on a Mac. However, my computer is very old and the game runs slowly. As a semi-solution to this, I try to play on my mom or my brother's PC laptops. These newer laptops run the game smoother so I play on them when I can.
Recently, after an update, while opening SK I got a pop-up message in the bottom right asking to allow permissions for something. Not reading the pop-up carefully, I clicked on block as opposed to Allow Always or Allow Once. I got this message on both the PC computers and now, whenever I try to login to my account, the window says that there is a temporary network outage.
I don't know how to to get this pop-up to come back so I can allow permissions, and until then, SK is unplayable on the 2 PC computers. I have already tried deleting SK and re-downloading it with no avail. Any help regarding why I can no longer sign in would be appreciated. Until then, I'm stuck with a very slow and annoying computer.
I am very inept at using a PC so step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
You basically told the system firewall to block internet access to java, which is what SK runs on. To correct it, you need to find the firewall's access/exceptions lists and tell it to allow java.exe and javaw.exe. Reinstalling the won't help because the rules are already set.
How you do this depends on what program is doing the firewall function on that machine.
