SHOCKWAVE FLASH CRASHED?

It normally means that you have too many flash windows open or flash-based activity going on.

Mostly happens when you're using Chrome, I've gotten it numerous times myself.

Basically it happens because both the Wheel of Monotony and the Habitarium depend on a piece of software called "Adobe Flash Player", which is, quite frankly, a malignant mess of complete and utter crap. In the old days (i.e. a couple of years back) when Flash crashed it (which it did and still does frequently) it used to take down your entire web browser with it. Nowadays most modern web browsers box Flash in so that it only crashes itself, which is why you see that message instead of just having your browser crash on you. :)

 

Edit: Running things in different browsers is unlikely to help.

Also this happens on Firefox. The flash is placed on an app called plugin-container for firefox which contains all the plugins so if that crashes, all the others crash too like Java and all the other plugins. Just refresh the page and it should come back.

This made me laugh. Unfortunately Flash Player is a total mess. It's gotten worse since Adobe bought Macromedia.

 

It could be too many windows open causing flash to crash, or just too much in general open on your system. Even on moderately powered systems when playing flash games they will freeze or lag for me.
