Both yesterday and today the bot hunter re caption has started to fail on my computer.

 

I get the check box, complete it and get the picture puzzel.

Then another check box and puzzle.

And another and another and another, even though i complete them.

It goes on forever, giving me failed re captions

 

To solve it i have to go on my phone and do the re caption there, then it works fine

 

I didn't fail those:

 

Deleted all cookies on the browser too yesterday, with all the hassle that follows with that

We only have a little bit of control over the captcha results, I believe this is already set to easiest based on Ched's post here. I will ask Vadim to confirm if it is still the case. Other than that, I don't think we can do anything here for failed captchas.

 

Thanks!

Mentions: Bothunter Captcha says incorrect the first time

Yeah, it looks like it’s kind of the same issues as reported in Cheds post. 
I get the re caption over and over again in the pc browser, but not on phone or iPad 

 

This harassment for six months makes you wanna quit the whole game :-/

That's interesting.  It's happened to me before, and I also got many errors stating that I failed despite getting a check mark.  The way I fixed it was by switching to a guest window and that fixed it.

To help us investigate this further, could you please provide a few more details?

  • Which browser and browser version are you using?
  • Which operating system are you on?
  • Does the issue still occur in an Incognito/Private window or a Guest profile?
  • Do you have any browser extensions enabled (especially ad blockers, privacy or security extensions)?
  • Are you using a VPN, proxy, or any network filtering software?
  • Have you tried reproducing the issue in a different browser on the same PC?
  • Does this only happen on Torn, or have you experienced similar CAPTCHA behaviour on other websites?

This information will help us determine whether the issue is related to the browser/environment or something we need to investigate on our side.

Thanks!

Hi

i got this «loop» problem two days in a row using Chrome on my company computer

Both times I got out of the loop using my iPhone to «solve» the picture and recaption

After these two days I started using Edge with no issues, but only for a couple of days, before I went on Holliday.
Donno if Edge trigger the pictures for me yet? Can’t remember if I got pictures or just the recaption?

Right now I got Chrome version 150.0.7871.116, but it might have updated without me doing anythingg, since ICT is administrating all updates. 

 

The comp is running Windows 11 enterprise

 

The computer is the property of my company, so every system related option is disabled for end users and is managed by the ICT.

This means that I can not use incognito/private windows or guest accounts.

Neither can I install any browser extensions or use VPN/proxy

I have no idea what the ICT department is running, but I guess their setup would affect both chrome and edge

 

I’ve not tried to reproduce this. At home I mostly play on iPad and iPhone, having no loop issues using Safari

 

This only happends on Torn for me, but I don get this pestering recaption and picture solving any other websides, just on Torn

Right now I have my Holliday, so I do not use the computer where I had the issues.

 

(Talking to bogie is not helping either, and being called a cheater for six months, with no explanation at all, after playing with no issues for 20 years is sadly getting the better  of me. And now this « bug» on top of it all)

 

Thx for looking into this

I'd like to add to this. I've faced this problem on Lemur Browser and  Firefox browser on Android and Firefox Browser on PC.

 

I have checked with all extension and scripts disabled.

 

It seems like the verification only works well on Chrome. I don't like chrome and as a Linux user I don't use chrome on PC either. I hate the fact that I have to login with chrome each time I have to verify. Changing browser (even device) for every verification is really putting a damper on the game experience. 

 

I can post videos of it looping if you need it. Although with access to logs on your end I doubt the video will be of any help.
