new flash player problem

[rianbay812]

not a techy so can someone help?

I cannot play the game because it says i need to download a new flash player. I already had it, but just in case, i re-downloaded it and i'm still getting the same message.

We have had a few people come into chat with this problem, and robotmafia has had some success directing people to clear their cache and cookies then restart their browser.

Cheers

Same problem for me too

Hey, quite a few people have had this problem today, and in most cases, clearing your browser cache and deleting your cookies, followed my restarting your browser typically fixes the problem.

EDIT- Also, Heliwr advises the clearing of your flash cache:

Heliwr> usually it is by right-clicking in the game window and selcting settings, then zeroing local storage then setting it back to its previous setting

No problem man. It seems like it works for about 80% of the people who try it.

UPDATE:

<JaredR26> what browsers is FC-1 broken for?
<robotmafia> opera, chrome, IE
<JaredR26> we're working on it
<robotmafia> how long will it take?
<JaredR26> No clue, hopefully not long
<JaredR26> Earlier our webmaster tried to fix an issue with safari users
<JaredR26> Unfortunately it broke things for some other browsers. Browser consistency is horrible

Things will be up again in no time. Meanwhile, look at my other post and try those steps.

robotmafia> ok when you clear flash cache, it says you will lose all data from FC, is this bad?
<JaredR26> it will lose your auto-login stuff for fc
<JaredR26> and also your checkmarks on the levels
robotmafia> is that all?
<JaredR26> thats all we store in the cookie, yes
<robotmafia> ok

;-) no worries

As a linux user, I can only direct you to a helpful webpage.

Hope that helps!

The problem should be resolved now. If there are any further inquiries, come to the FC chatroom, or post here and I'll try to help! =D
