Shockwave not letting me play.

[usedapples]

I know shockwave has been a big butt for a while, and I have been able to play the shockwave games before. Not sure if it was a while ago on another computer or not, but I have been able to before.

 

NO shockwave game loads. Not HATPC, not HATIC, not Gourmet Club Bowls, nothing. It just says I need to install it, and I have, multiple times. When I load it on firefox (I normally use Chrome) it's just a black screen. I'm not sure if I need to use an older version or how people have solved this problem before, but any help would be nice.

 

Edit : Just KIDDING when I open any shock wave game on Firefox that isn't Gourmet Bowls or HATPC it works, but those two still will not. I've tried the thing where you open both at the same time but it's still a black screen. Every so often it gives me "DGS error couldn't load page".

 

Edit 2 : Just downloaded Safari. The game just forever loads now.

Firefox gives me the DGS error, too. I do not believe the Shockwave games on Neopets will work with Firefox. I was able to get "Attack of the Slorgs" to load and play, with Internet Explorer 11. Still a bit buggy, and the game often freezes/stops and all I can do at that point is close it out and open it again, from the start. However, to get it (IE 11) to "recognize" that Shockwave is installed, I have to add "neopets.com" (without the quotes) to the "Compatibility View Settings" (Tools--Compatibility View Settings--type neopets.com into the text field--click the "Add" button). Afterwards, Firefox loaded "Attack of the Slorgs" and I could play it, but I cannot send my scores - it just changes to the download soundtrack page and nevr posts the scores. HaTPC and Gourmet Club Bowls still do not load, though. I did find a direct link to the ".swf" game for HaTPC and that did work, but I don't know if it would let me post my scores. There was a trick to get Gourmet Club Bowls working, by opening HatPC and leting it run, but those instructions say it has wrk for some, but using Google Chrome only. I do have a computer that is running Vista and IE 9. I'll have to try it with that and post the results. I think those games are just too old and Shockwave has been updated several times since then. Good luck!

Multiple times downloading the update and clearing history, several browsers, and the rare time a shockware game would play i couldn't send my score anyway. I gave up! Good luck

I've been having this problem lately too, so I finally gave up playing HatIC. It's such a shame, because it's an easy 3000 NPs. =(

I actually did try to download an older version of shockwave (I still have it downloaded I believe) and I tried an older version of FireFox but that crashed. I might try an older version of IE at least, or I might try to use my old, old Windows 2000 computer and see if it loads with that. What is the link to the .swf game?

 

Edit : I get the game to kind of load on my IE but it just ends up freezing and crashing.

Sorry it took so long to post. Here is the link: http://swf.neopets.com/games/g349_v9_99392.dcr. I wanted to make sure the link was safe, as I found it from another site. I also wanted to test it, to make sure it worked. It worked with IE 11, but Shockwave did not seem to want to completely load with Firefox v 37. I am using the latest Shockwave (12.something.something.158). I do not use Chrome, so I did not test with that, and I do not have a Mac, so no test with Safari, either. I was able to play and controls worked fine, but I didn't try to post a score. I'll have to try posting, or, if it works for you, you could try posting, and let us know what happened. I believe it works in IE 11, due to the "Compatibility View Settings", which allows "older" web pages (web pages designed for earlier versions of web browsers) to display properly. As far as I know, Firefox does not have a similar mode. If anyone knows, please let me know. Anyhow, this may allow you to play HaTPC. I'll look for links for "Gourmet Club Bowls", HaTIC and "Attack of the Slorgs".
