Unstream Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Okay so the game loads fine, but when I try to click Start Game, it says, "This Shockwave movie has errors that have cause playback problems. Please contact the author of this content regarding this problem. Shockwave is unable to continue." I'm guessing I'm supposed to contact TNT about this, but I'm not sure where I should do that. And nobody else seems to have this problem... What should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I would try uninstalling Shockwave from your PC, then reinstalling in. If it still glitches, go here and check the points listed. If none of that helps, we throw a tantrum go to this link and report the bug to them. They should neomail you a response soon. :) Good luck! Try asking Theo about this too, resident awesome computer wizard right there! :P =Cameron= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Okay I reinstalled Shockwave, which didn't change anything. I sent a bug report to TNT and I'm hoping I'll get a response soon. Btw who is Theo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategos Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Are you using Mac or Windows? Shockwave has been known to cause problems on Intel Macs, unless you enable Rosetta and install the PowerPC version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 I'm using Windows XP, but I don't know which service pack I have (If I had to guess though, it would be 3, so I meet all of the system requirements). Shockwave was never too reliable on my computer. There have been plenty of times when it acted up, but usually refreshing the page solved the problem.

antiaircraft Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'm Theo. :P It looks like you're getting a pretty generic error - it could be anything from coding glitches to a DirectX conflict. Have you tried the game on a different browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcid42 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Shockwave can be a right pain if it goes wrong. I had a time where I could not play some games yet others were OK. My solution was to search around for an old version of shockwave and install it over the latest version. Then uninstalled it and re-installed the new version. In effect fooling the install of the latest version that is is an upgrade so it installs fully. This worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'm Theo. :P It looks like you're getting a pretty generic error - it could be anything from coding glitches to a DirectX conflict. Have you tried the game on a different browser? Well I just tried it on Opera and I got the same error message. I'm reinstalling IE because it was messed up somehow, so I'll try that later today. EDIT: IE is having some problems (see topic I made about IE problems here). A lot of toolbars are missing and a lot of things might be screwed up with it, but I still have the address bar on it and when I tried playing Attack of the Slorgs it still didn't work.
