About the required flash upgrade

[Sailormannen]

Same here, working in Firefox now that didn't work earlier today.

Yup - same... FireFox said get lost and upgrade flash this morning but now it's working as if it never happened.

May 4th, 2012. Welcome to Adobe® Flash® Player 11.2 and Adobe® AIR® 3.2! This release includes bug fixes related to stability and performance

(...snip...)

Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release.

If you guys could go ahead and keep supporting 11.2 for the next couple of years, that'd be great.

As well as a rather nifty macbook, I do have an ageing PPC desktop mac running 10.4.1 Tiger.

Using the instructions at http://lowendmac.com/2012/hack-allow...sh-11-content/ I was able to load up my island today using Safari.

I didn't have time to play test it for stability, but the game loaded and my island loaded fine. I have no real desire to play the game on that system; it was purely to see if it ran. I will leave others who have no other option to try it more thoroughly.

DISCLAIMER: It's a hack and totally unsupported. It has nothing to do with me: I'm just passing info on and I won't be held responsible if it snarls up your system/game

You might want to try if Google Chrome still allows you to play, since that uses it's own implementation of flash.

Did anyone try already?

Chrome stopped working quite a while ago, starts to load the splash screen but sticks on the white background.

I also thought that it would be the end. But it's working. I didn't try it tommorow, but now it seems ok. Using OpenSuse 13.1 and Firefox with flash 11.2.202.332.

Chrome on Linux you mean? Since I use Google Chrome on Windows to play TSO every day.

I had issues when I first logged in today with the new flash upgrade on IE, I would get onto island and 30 sec's later would get booted, happened several times `connection to client lost'. A thorough cache clean seemed to have fixed it

Confused as to what exactly "the latest version of flash" means.

I'm using 11,9,900,170, yet the latest version is 12.0.0.38

Given that a new version of flash seems to come out every week, you would think the developers would be more on the ball explaining what they mean.

[Nogbad]

Gerontius, the original post did specify version 12.

Nope, Chrome on Windoze. Their 'internal' Flash interpretation is flaky to say the least, plus security software is forever trying to stop it 'phoning home'.
