Clash of Clans Won’t Load [Quick Fix]

clash of clans wont load

Are you experiencing the Clash of Clans won’t load problem? In this post, we’ll be showing you how to get Clash of Clans up and running, if/when the game fails to load on your device.

Quite a number of Clash of Clans players have complained of the ‘hang up’ error typically encountered during startup. And despite the notoriety of this error, its actual cause remains unknown (or rather, unrevealed).

In any case, if you’re in this situation, do not fret; as we’ll be showing you a set of workarounds to safely load the game.

Fix: Clash of Clans Won’t Load

Clash of Clans is a popular smartphone game, which has been credited for its unique gameplay and near-reality graphical illustration. However, the game’s integrity has been blighted by the various forms of crashes/freezes associated with it.

While Supercell (CoC’s developer) has promised to fix these errors, you can try some of fixes below for the time being:

Fix 1: Check Basic Configuration and Connectivity

Clash of Clans is an online game, which requires stable internet connection for optimum performance. And if your internet is unstable/weak, you’re probably going to encounter this error. Therefore, ensure that your mobile internet or Wi-Fi connection is strong/stable. Also, set your phone’s time & date as appropriate.

Furthermore, for players on Android, ensure that you’re properly signed into your Google account. And if you’re playing with an iPhone, ensure that you’re properly signed into Facebook.

If all these check out, and the game still won’t load, try the next fix.

Fix 2: Restart Phone

Force close the game and restart your phone/tablet. This would fix all minor glitches that could be causing the error.

After reboot, relaunch the game and see if the loading error is fixed.

Fix 3: Turn Off Power Saving Mode

At times, having your phone running in power saving (or battery saving) mode could cause the loading error. Hence, switch back to normal power mode and see if the error is fixed.

Fix 4: Clear Cache

This is probably the most popular solution to this loading error.

To clear the game’s cache:

  • Go to Settings > Apps > Clash of Clans
  • Select Storage > Clear Cache.

You can also ‘clear data’. This should fix the loading error.

Closing Note

If none of the above fixes could fix the Clash of Clans won’t load error, you can reinstall the game or contact Supercell’s tech support team for assistance.

Gears 5 – Here’s Everything About The Game As Revealed During E3 2019

Gears of War is, without a doubt, one of the most popular video games series among those who love the third-person shooter genre. The first entry in the series, Gears of War, was published in 2006 for the Xbox 360 and a port for Microsoft Windows was released in 2007. Years have passed, and we’re now waiting for Gears 5, the next installment in the series. Microsoft presented more details on the game during E3 2019, and here’s everything we know.

The original game was conceived by and developed by Epic Games, and the legendary Cliff Bleszinski was the lead designer. The initial concept was named Unreal Warfare, a name which hints that the title was envisioned as a possible Unreal Tournament spin-off. While the title didn’t come with significant innovations, the amount of polish and the excellent gameplay experience attracted near-universal acclaim from reviewers and players alike. Three sequels and a prequel were released by 2016.

A large number of details about Gears 5 was shared during Microsoft’s E3 2019 conference. A noticeable change can be spotted when you look at the name since the ‘’of War’’ part has disappeared.

Here’s Everything About Gears 5 As Revealed During E3 2019

Gears 5 Release Date

Microsoft announced that the game would be released on September 1th0, 2019, three days before the anticipated release of Borderlands 3.

The storyline of Gears 5

The title will continue the story introduced by Gears of War 4, with the return of the main protagonists – JD, Marcus Fenix, Kait Diaz, and Delmon Walker. At one point Kait and Demon will follow a lead which may offer more information about Kait’s Locust legacy. Kait will play a significant role in the narrative, and head of The Coalition stated that the story mode would be the longest in the series.

Enemies

At E3, a large variety of in-game enemies were teased. The Locust remain the main antagonist, and one of them sported a gory look in the form of a fleshy amalgamation of bits stolen from other enemies.

Competitive multiplayer

Players will get a chance to the multiplayer “versus” mode experience on July 17th. Those who pre-order the title or opt for the Game Pass will enjoy first dibs of the competitive multiplayer that Gears 5 would offer.

Minecraft Dungeons To Roll Out In Spring 2020

Minecraft has remained one of the most popular video games in the world, and millions of people continue to play the title each day. The cute graphics, easy-to-pick-up, and creative gameplay experience, plus a constant stream of new content updates make it a remarkable and enjoyable experience. Recently, during the E3 2019 Microsoft panel, the company announced Minecraft Dungeons.

Many gamers may have got their first taste of a pure sandbox with the help of the original JAVA version which was released for the PC a decade ago. The game has come a long way since then, and it is present across a large number of platforms, including the PS3 and PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, Android, iOS and others.

Mojang worked a lot on the base game, but some players were looking forward towards a breath of fresh air. If you are one of them, you will be happy to learn that Minecraft Dungeons will be released in Spring 2020.

Minecraft Dungeons would launch next year for Windows, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PS4

Minecraft Dungeons was announced a few months ago, but many details about the title remained elusive. More information was shared during the Microsoft Conference, which took place at E3. Many sources thought that the game would use a first-person perspective, but it seems that they were wrong. A short gameplay trailer showcased a top-down dungeon crawler in the vein of the iconic Diablo games.

Players will explore thematic dungeons filled with monsters and loot. The game will include an assortment of equipable items, among which we can count armor, weapons, and special items which grant a unique skill. Four-player local and online co-op capabilities were also teased, but there is no sign of a single-player mode or campaign.

The initial announcement inferred that the game would be a PC exclusive, but at the end of the video, it is mentioned that the game will be playable on Windows, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PS4. It will be included in the Xbox Game Pass initiative. Microsoft and Mojang will likely share more information about Minecraft Dungeons in the future.

To fix this “black screen” error, follow through this guide.

Fix: Clash of Clans Black Screen

To do this, you’d have to uninstall the game first, before reinstalling it.

Follow the simple steps below to run this procedure:

  • Launch BlueStacks on your PC.
  • Find and click on “Clash of Clans”
  • Locate and click on the “Uninstall” option.
