Khepera Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I've always been unable to play Shockwave-games on Neopets. It doen't matter how many times I install the Shockwave-player, restart the computer or the browser (I use Fireforx, but have also tried IE and Opera). It won't work anyway, the game simply refuses to load up. Is there some sort of remedy for this? I can't really get the Hannah-avvie unless I'm able to play the friggin game! (I'm using Win XP Pro, for the record.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yeah the same thing happens to me, except that it'll show the first screen, then freeze up and give me an error message. Shockwave games never work for me either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticFission Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 me three. i get the same thing as unstream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitybelle Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I have the same problem in FF, but it works OK for me in IE. It's frustrating because I'd prefer to do everything on FF, plus on my old laptop it DID work in FF but I have no idea what I did/installed to make it do so. I use Windows Vista (yucky) but on my old one, it was XP, so I don't think XP would be the problem. On FF, HATIC DOES work, but when I finish and try to send the score, nothing is clickable and eventually I get an error message or it freezes up. Nice. HATPC doesn't load though. I just resort to IE. I'm not sure what the problem could be. I'd say try again but you clearly have been trying again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khepera Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 I guess I'm not the only one having these problems. I suppose the Hannah-avvie will have to wait until some other time... when (or if) the game is made to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Shockwave is always tricky. Mine works, but won't save progress. I had finished HATIC and one day I opened the game again and my progress were gone. Now it just won't save it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Diva Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I hear you!!! I'm having the same problem with all shock-wave games. it's really annoying :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odee Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 installed opera and still it wont work. reinstalled my shockwave plugin AGAIN. errrrrr.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimii Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hmm.. I can't play any of them either. If it works in IE I suppose I can just use IE when I need to play Shockwave games. Has anyone reported this to TNT? Maybe if enough of us do they will fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 For the record, Shockwave is crap. :P But yeah, it's always been pretty problematic. I've heard that completely removing it from your system (tracking down all its files and registry entries and stuff) and then installing it again can help, but I don't know the exact procedure for that. Heck, we don't even have it here on Linux. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempdisplay Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 By Shockwave you mean Crisis Courier right? Everytime I have to switch to Firefox. Course u opera. Plus is this topic in the wrong area. It should be in the Computer help place right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepti M. Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Well, I use FF3 and it's working for me. Maybe you have to download the latest version of Firefox? Hmm...a lot of people seem to be having problems. Wonder why I'm not. Maybe it's a glitch for some computer programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 @bluerang: Crisis Courier is a Flash game, not a Shockwave game. :yes: Flash may be annoying, but at least it works most of the time, unlike Shockwave. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odee Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 some of the shockwave games now works on my IE but there are still games that don't work. aahhh.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepti M. Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 definitely a thing that should be reported to neo. they should fix this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Actually, you probably need to report the problems to Adobe, the company that makes the Shockwave Player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoOlogy Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I mainly use Google Chrome for browsing because the increase speed is better than blocking ads but the Shockwave games don't seem to like it. They load every other time but when they do load, the game can't send the score so some reason. Good thing I don't need to relog in when I go from Firefox back to Chrome because Neopets enjoy logging me off every time I switch browsers. I just got a new laptop and hopefully the problems don't find their way back to me (from now on, I'm not upgrading when asked to since that is when the problems started for me).

Deepti M. Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well, you're going to have to upgrade sooner or later. You won't be able to be upgraded with the things like Shockwave games. o-0 and you'll face the same dilemma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
