By Rubanenko, 10 years ago, translation, In English

Hey guys,

I can't log in arena for last three days. Does everyone else have the same problem?

Everything works for me, at least at this moment.

It is working for me at this moment. Maybe you should describe in more detail which OS/Java version do you have, how do you run the Arena and what happens when you try to log in.

    It runs, allows me to type my login/password and after I click "Go" nothing happens and typed information disappears in like five seconds.

    UPD It also does not start at all when I use specific button in Egor's plugin for Intellij Idea.

      Some guesses (I assume you're talking about the Java arena):

      • you're using a bad version, I have 7.1.2 (15.5.) and am logged in

      • try clearing your Java cache

      • enable the Java console and see what it says / if it says something relevant

        Clearing cache worked!

        I was sure it was some global problem, because two my roommates had the same problem. Seems really strange.

        Thanks a lot!

          There were 2-3 threads (on the TC forum) about it, around the last SRM. I feel like the problems with it fall into a set that's googlable on the TC forum, but you never know which offered solutions (and which subset, and in which order) will work...

When I try to open arena (file ContestAppletProd.jnlp) in ubuntu using Iced Tea I got this error , I tried to press "clean all cache" but it's unable to delete the cache , How can I fix it ?

    Same error. Button also doesn't clear cache. Try running this:

    $ javaws -Xclearcache

    This will clear cache normally.

      that worked for me, the wrong thing is I woke up too early in order to participate in this srm but I spent most of the time trying to open arena, when I finally opened, registration was closed =(.

i got the same problem as kingofnumbers . it dosent work on ubuntu , i reistaleed several times , atleast it had worked for 3 days on windows ,then windows version crashed too , then i reistalled java7 on w7 again and it works now . looks like the medium time the applet crashes is about 1 week , then you need reinstall or search on forums about your problem . But besides that topcoder is great and im thankfull for their work , so no hard feelings for them.
