I can't get the WoG Corporation thing to work. The sky is black instead of blue and there aren't any clouds. Can anyone help ? I have absolutely no idea what to do.

How far are you in the game? The sky is supposed to be black at first. That will change later. As for the lack of clouds, did you click the button on the billboard that connects you to the internet? If the clouds still don't appear, it's probably a problem with your internet. I have a pretty bad connection, so it usually takes a couple minutes for my clouds to show up.

I'm on Chapter 3 Level 2. I clicked the connect button and my internet is fine. It doesn't say could not connect or anything.

Hello, I'm new here. I bought the PC version of WOG the other day. I'm currently on the 3rd island. I had the clouds for a while but now they've disappeared for me as well. I don't see any button on the billboard.

UPDATE: Never mind, I finally got clouds. I guess it's just really slow to connect. I still don't see a button on the billboard though. :P

Yep. And with the chapter you're at, the black sky is perfectly normal. Happy building!

Hi to all ! First I'd like to say that the game rules :D Secondly I'd like to ask where are those buttons on the billboard you speak of, because I can't see them anywhere and the players' clouds in the Corporation of Goo don't appear :'( They actually appeared before, but now they don't. I can see only the highest tower in the world, but no clouds :'( I already went trough the entire game, even made another account just to try if the previous one bugged or something like that, but it didn' work. Any suggestions?  ???

The billboard is very conspicuous. It's the big one just above where your initial triangle starts. If you've already connected, the button is replaced with different text, talking about the clouds. If that text is what you see, it's already trying to connect. That means it's an issue with your internet. You'd see the button if it was there. It's big.

Yes, from the beginning I have been seeing the information with the clouds and players... so its mystinkin' internet  :-X I've got another question - When I've got to the end of the game and it's no longer world of goo corporation, but "world of goo memorial park and recreation center", does it make any difference, or it's just the background that is different? And if I can't collect more than 300 balls, than what the hack am I fighting for?  :D

The background, music, and sign painter sign are the only things that have changed. Everything else stays the same. As for the 300 limit, that's fighting for the right to not have a horrible framerate. Seriously, if they put too many more in, animation would be really jerky.
