I want to stress this point from the original post:

Server config file may be necessary (ensure it exists after creation): Admin -> Arcade Maintenance -> Server Config

For anyone that has a problem with HTML5 or some IBP games saving scores, try this option to see if it fixes the problem.
Anyone using LiteSpeed can use the Apache option from that maintenance page since both use .htaccess files with the same syntax.
