I'm having a strange problem with Escapist videos, they just refuse to work. No error or anything, just a blank black screen. I did most of the help suggestions but I want to check to make sure its not some kind of local issue. Any other Escapist in Thailand (or reasonably nearby) having the same issue? I've had it do this before but deleting cookies, upgrading browser, etc. worked but not this time.

The most bizzare part though is that I tried to load 4 videos at once to see if one would work or not. I went AFK for about an hour, come back to find of them works perfectly fine but the others still stayed the same. Firefox, Chrome, and even IE all failed to work. The odd part though is that one video outlier, else I'd be able to chalk it up to one thing or another.

Anyways, any help is appreciated.

How long has this been going on? If it's just today then it might be just the high amount of traffic the Escapist gets on Wednesdays from ZP. Are you having any other issues while browsing the interwebz? A week or so ago I had the same issue but my ISP was just running really slow and I had to reboot it, then everything was working properly. I watched ZP this morning with the site running a little bit slower but not by much.

Its been going on for a few days now, as early as about last week. So, I don't think its just from the popularity of ZP as I've checked in at all times of the day.

Having absolutely no trouble with any other part of the internet...

And thanks for the tech-team link, another thread I made for this issue (because this one timed out actually, really suprised it showed up) also suggested them :p
