External links dont work.

Post by CarlosG »

Hi, I'm writing because, after the update to mp4, everytime i try to use a external link the Microsoft Edge opens and no site is shown, just the site i chose to appear, despite the fact that i choose the Google Chrome as my main browser.

Some can help me?

Thanks in advance.

that issue is caused by an major windows10 update, you have to re-assign inside your windows settings the main app for opening websites

click on the windows symbol down left > type standard (a list with all available settings should appear, choose standard apps) > set the web browser to edge > hit ok > open again the standard app settings > choose your preferred browser (chrome in your case) > hit ok

The step to set standard browser to edge is needed, if in your settings are still chrome (and it won´t be used by maniaplanet)

now open maniaplanet and try again, all should work now with your standard chosen browser (chrome in your case)

Hello,

For my part, absolutely nothing happens when I click on an external link, even with edge as default app. Do you have any idea please ? Thanks !

I'm running on Windows 10 currently. There is no in-game setting that might be disabled ?

when i followed the instructions from xrayjay the browser that was set as prefered was the one that didnt work (google chrome) so i had to choose another browser, close the program responsible to set the programs i prefered in every area, re-open it and re-choose the browser i prefered in first place (google chrome). so try to choose another browser, close the program, re-open it and go back to the browser that you like.

hope i helped.

Thanks for the answer, I tried, to no avail. But my problem seems different since nothing opens at all, while you had Edge opening. It really annoying ! I hope someone will come with a solution :)
