libflash (64 bit) problem on kongregate.com
 

Hi all,

I have a 64bit Debian (sid) system. I have a problem with libflash.
I've installed flashplugin-nonfree and the plugin is reasonably
recent (11.1.102.62). However on some (most, all ?) kongregate
games, I cannot get to the effective game. For instance:

http://www.kongregate.com/games/TheSunrize/netbots

gets through the "Armor Games" splash and becomes solid
gray.

Is it a known problem ? Does anybody know how to get
the *actual* game ?

Thanks a lot,

Loïc

Is something about connecting the bots?

I works here (lenny + firefox 11.0 + flash player from adobe, v.
11.1.102.63).

Try by cleaning the browser's cache (files, cookies...).

Yeah. (It works with firefox-32bits+veryoldflash-32bits).

Unfortunately it was not sufficient.

Ensure that your browser is loading the abobe flash plugin instead gnash
or any other one (right click over the grey square game).

Is this the only game from the site that fails to load?

Sorry to hear that. You can also try by getting Firefox 11 (no
installation required) with the latest available version of flash plugin
from Adobe and check if that works.

It's flash: 11.1.102.63 (I've just updated !)

No, unfortunately not, most (if not all) games that I've tried
fail to work.

If failed with Firefox 6, Firefox 9, now Firefox 10 (actually iceweasel,
but it does not change). Unfortunately FF11 is available only as
32 bits builds. I'm not holding my breath also because it fails
also with konqueror (which is independent of Firefox).

Thanks,

Works !

Unrelated but I've found something more: if I download the game and
open it directly with Firefox/Iceweasel then it works. There is probably
a problem with some kind of connection (ad-blocker somewhere in the
download chain).

It works and runs fine here (using 64 bits firefox and 64 bits flash
plugin). Maybe is something at your side... does your ISP has some
sort of proxy tha could be interferring? Can you try to access the site
from a different ISP?

JFYI, Firefox is now (since v10) officialy building 64-bits versions
for Linux:

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/11.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/

I've just tried from a different ISP (my computer is a laptop, that
helps !). Same thing

However !!!!

When I set

allowThirdPartyLSOAccess

to true, it works.

Now this is a little bit worrying (I don't know what it's for,
but it looks like it's privacy related).

Does anybody know what this setting is for ?

Thanks,

Loïc

Where did you set that value? Firefox (browser), Adobe Flash Plugin
settings? I don't remember of having to do any adjustment for it :-?

Nope, sorry, never heard of that before :-)
