Servers problem with Shockwave games

[Neurojuice]

Hello,

every time I play Shockwave games like Hannah ATPC, Dice escape etc I get this message when i try to send the score:

 

Sorry, we're experiencing problems with our servers and cannot accept your score right now.

 

This is not a temporary problem and does not fix if I re-open the window or so. I have never been able to send those scores, and TNT could not help me in any way. Does this happen to any of you? How could I try to fix it?

I can't even get that game to load. I've had issues with shockwave games for a long, long time. I have no idea what the problem is, but something is definitely wonky with those games.

I can't get gourmet club bowls to load, but those two do work properly, until I need to send the score. I remember I had tried to do it from a friend's pc (same operative system and programs as mine) and it worked...unfortunately I can't use that anymore!

Maybe there's some pc configuration or software configuration to change? Any expert?

It's a problem on TNT's end, not yours. These games have been giving users problems for the past couple years, likely due to them being developed as shockwave, an unstable and now outdated interface.

thanks for the clarification Emily, but is there a reason why they always work on some computers and always fail to send score on some others? There must be something different...

Honestly, I'm not 100% on that, but guessing it's something to do with connection rather than hardware. I got a new laptop and they wouldn't work. I tried every couple days for a whiile and they started working one day. I hadn't done any kind of update in weeks, and there was nothing physically different about my machine. TNT really needs to keep things updated though. They have a tendency to release things, then when bugs crop up, not touch them or even acknowledge the problem for long periods of time.

ok then, it's all about waiting for the right chance or stressing TNT with emails about that :)

None of the shockwave games work for me either, plus I know a lot more people who have the same complaint. Maybe if we get on TNT they will finally fix our issues - some of those games are for avatars!!
