Hi there! I understand you're experiencing an issue where your friends list disappears every time you play the Captain's Challenge in Pearl's Peril. That can certainly be inconvenient! Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this together.

Could you let me know if you are playing on the Facebook version of the game or through a different platform? Also, have you noticed if this issue happens consistently, or does it come and go? Knowing these details will help me assist you better.

In the meantime, I found some relevant information that suggests there have been occasional issues with the friends list not displaying properly in the Facebook version of the game, possibly due to privacy settings or server-related issues. If you have opted not to allow access to your friends list, it could affect what you see while playing1.

Thanks for providing that information! Since you're playing Pearl's Peril on your laptop using Microsoft Edge, let's check some possible steps to resolve the issue where your friends list disappears during the Captain's Challenge.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Clear Your Browser Cache: Sometimes, a buildup of cached data can affect how a game runs in the browser. To clear your cache in Edge, follow these steps:
- Click on the three dots (menu) in the upper right corner of the browser.
- Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services.
- Under "Clear browsing data," click on Choose what to clear.
- Make sure to select Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files.
- Click Clear now.

2. Close Unnecessary Tabs and Programs: Before launching the game, close any other open browser tabs and non-essential programs. This helps free up system resources, which might resolve loading issues with friends lists or game features1.

3. Check Your Privacy Settings on Facebook: If you are linking your game to Facebook, ensuring that you have allowed access to your friends list in your privacy settings is essential. Sometimes, changes in Facebook's permissions can restrict what you see in the game.

4. Reload the Game: After you've cleared the cache and closed unnecessary tabs, try refreshing the game. Sometimes a simple reload can resolve temporary glitches.

5. Check for Game Updates or Server Status: Occasionally, game updates or server issues can result in inconsistent features appearing. You can visit the Pearl's Peril social media pages or forums to check if there are any announcements regarding ongoing issues.

Give these steps a try, and let me know how it goes! If the problem persists, we can look into further options together.
