i think if you right click on the download bar at the bottom and set it to always open files of this type it should work

After just testing this one out..

Chrome:
*Make sure your downloaded .sal files are not going to pile up somewhere and never get deleted.
On the right next to your address or URL bar, click on the three lines. Click on Settings. Scroll down to the blue link "Show advanced settings..." Click it. Scroll down to Downloads section. Make sure your downloads are going where you want them.

*Go to play.net/dr
Log in as if you're going to play from StormFront, on the bottom when it pops up to show you the download, look on the left where it says yourCharacter.sal or whatever. A small rectangle shows up just next to that, click on it and click on the option Always open files of this type.

Now click Back to return to character and Front End selection. Click play and StormFront should open up.

I'm having the same problem with Sortny, because her files are numerous. A file gets created every time you login to the game. I manually type in the log number. Example: Sortny (nnn). The logs don't go past 99. Your charactername pops up but you need to put the log number next to it just like in the example. Remember to put a space between your charactername and the first parenthesis.

Regards,

Sortny/Braunwen

alright. well. whatever I have done or not done all I am getting now is the critical error box that states "Error loading skin from [storm.skn]"

the charactername.sal dialogue box in the lower left no longer shows up, so I can't choose "always open this type of file" however I have tried that in the past and it didn't do anything anyways. The critical error box always shows up and that's that.

I can use IE to login and load up SF, but I'm just trying to use one browser to do this. Chrome has been good so far, so i'll stick with it since youtube videos don't crash constantly and/or tell me I need to update my freakin adobe flash player like IE does.

>You could give the SGE a try and decouple loging in from the browser

Nope.

Critical error box. "...storm.skn"

I get this too, but easy fix. When it goes to 99 and brings up that window to save, I just exit. Then go into that download folder and delete all 99 of those "abison" files. Then it doesn't happen again until another 99 logins. And you do not lose info by doing this.

Right click the sal file and choose "Open With." Assign SF as the default program for the .sal extension. The reinstall should have cleared up the corrupt file issue you were previously having.

If you're still having issues with it after this, I'll try to catch you in game and we'll walk through some stuff that way. :)
