Flash player won’t work on some websites (Newgroun.

Operating system: windows 7, SP1 + current updates

Anti-virus: Microsoft Security Essentials. (Turning off real-time protection temporarily did not help)

Web browser — all, but at the moment, focusing on Chrome Version 58.0.3029.81 (64-bit)

Flash player version: 25,0,0,148

None of the games on Newgrounds seem to work. For instance,

does not work. I get only a blank white rectangle when I try to play this game on Newgrounds. What appears to be the same game («Cube Escape») does work on another website.

Have others had similar issues — is Newgrounds just broken — or is it something on my system? I’ve tried various things, including opening up what flash permissions I could find (probably to a dangerous extent from a security point of view) and creating a new user in Win 7 (to get a clean App_data tree), but nothing I’ve tried seems to make the Newgrounds games load. I don’t know how to go about diagnosing why it doesn’t work when what appears to be the same game seems to work on another website. This should provide a good clue, but I don’t understand the technical aspects enough to troubleshoot or know what to try or analyze next that might provide more insight.

A semi-random thought. Is there any way to find out what files the computer tries to load when I click on the Newgrounds game link, so I can make sure that there isn’t something blocking access? It’s rather acting like the system can’t see the files from Newgrounds for some reason, but I have no idea why that would be.

Update: I did some poking around, and even not knowing exactly what I was looking at, I was able to find out that Norton Connect safe, running on my router, was blocking some important files. Apparently Norton considers Newgrounds (or rather part of it’s underlying network) to host «malicious software».

As an aside, I wouldn’t really think there were huge security issues with Newgrounds, not enough to block it, though I can believe that they’ve had occasional issues. I suppose I’m willing to risk it, at least, though if anyone is aware of more facts, I wouldn’t mind a heads up.

Switching the computer to a different DNS with DNS jump rather than running it through the router (which was setup to use Norton connectsafe) allows the Newgrounds games to load just fine. It’s a pain, I actually want the security sometimes, so I’ll have to remember to switch the DNS back in those cases. I could switch the router off Norton ( if I could remember the admin password), but — it’s probably better to leave it as is, I can switch my DNS as needed with the current setup. I’m unclear as to the technical merits of having the DNS done on my computer vs having it done on the router.

I’d still like to understand a little bit better what happened. Usually Norton gives me a visible warning message when it blocks something. I’m guessing that something about the way the files were set up made it so that the web browser — or possibly Flash itself — tried to fetch the files. THen the web browser (or flash) got the security warning message, rather than me — and it didn’t know what to do with it — so the files were not loaded and no warning was given.

I’d also like to understand a bit better what file is actually loaded. I’m guessing it is a .swf file? I don’t see any file associations with .swf in the OS, I’m hazy on what program does what to eventually wind up with the game actually running. But the main problem is solved — woot!.

Почему не работает newgrounds player

Posted by Sonucais — January 12th, 2021

📢 Newgrounds Player 1.0.7 is now out! Should fix most of problems in this guide. If does not work, try using Internet Explorer without uninstalling it. Check Flash Forwarder Tools if still doesn’t work. I’ll eventually finish that project because we still don’t have a solution for not Windows users!

📢 I made Flash Forwarder Tools, an alternative to NG Flash Player for those who can’t get Flash work! For Windows and MacOS. It’s still in development and we will expect big changes on v2!

I personally can’t recommend using the browser Flash plugins (Chrome/Firefox) anymore, it can be risky for your computer from now on. Use the Newgrounds Player instead! It works all the API functions, such as medals, saves, leaderboards. And don’t forget to enable it on your Account Settings. If you need to play offline content, check the three first points on Extra Stuff at the end of the post.

If nothing here seems to work, read the comments! I’m trying to help people!

A BETTER SOLUTION

There’s another workaround suggested by @dclxvi-satan and other guys on Twitter / Reddit. Tested it on my laptop (Flash Player version 32.0.0.445) and Newgrounds Player worked perfectly!

Download this fileand paste it on the following folders to bypass Flash’s killswitch.
The same file but in a zip: Just in case you have problems downloading it.

🐧 @NeonSpider shared where to place the mms.cfg on Linux. All details inside.

For Browsers it would be:

What’s inside mms.cfg (UTF-8 encoding)?

@spiele-umsonst made an interesting post about making flash files run again into software. Here’s the post with some extra mms.cfg tricks.

ERROR 1722. WHAT CAN I DO?!

What is this? Why is this even happening?

Alright, if I’m not wrong, this only happens on older Windows versions. If you are on Windows 8/10 this should not be happening. This problem seems to be happening because your computer does have a problem with your current Flash Player installation, probably because it’s broken or not fully uninstalled. This Flash Player installation has nothing to do with the browser plugins.

What you need to do is simple, totally uninstall it. But how? Well, I can’t tell because I didn’t have this problem but I did a research on this error. Follow these steps and we MIGHT fix it. User @JustSimon23 confirmed this worked for him.

Try using the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller (close everything and open as Administrator). Full instructions here.

Remove everything inside these folders (not the folder, just the content inside):

Restart your computer and try installing «install_flash_player_32_active_x.msi» (it’s on your Newgrounds Player installation folder) again.

🔔 If it keeps failing, keep reading.

Right click on «install_flash_player_32_active_x.msi» and click uninstall. This step might do something.

Open Windows Registry (regedit) and delete the below keys if you find them:

Be sure to know what are you doing here!

🔔 Some people deleted all the numbers in there and seemed to fix the problem but just delete these two and if the installation keeps failing, try deleting all of them.

Restart your computer and try installing install_flash_player_32_active_x.msi now. If fails, try compatibility mode (Right click → Properties → Compatibility tab).

I think at this point, it should be working. If it isn’t, is your Windows up to date?

Please, share your experiences with this error guide as you will be helping others.

FlowKen9 says: To solve the error 1722 problem, you’ll need 7zip installed for this (tried it with winrar, it don’t do it). Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\newgrounds\newgrounds player, right click the .msi included, go to 7zip, open archive. scroll down until you see a data1.cab file, and drag that to your desktop. open the cab file, drag the file inside it to your desktop. Right click it, open properties, navigate to compatibility tab, checkmark the compatibility mode box, set the drop down menu to windows vista, click ok. Now you run the .exe file you took from the cab file, and there you go, Error 1722 problem SOLVED.

ORIGINAL BLOG ENTRY

Today I found out I couldn’t play more Flash content even with the Newgrounds Player.

Did a little research on the forums and I wasn’t the only one. So what’s happening?!

During this year, Adobe or Microsoft (who tf cares) released some «security» updates through Windows Update. As far as I know, there are two updates which include something that makes Flash not load properly (image above).

What they basically did is check the Windows date value and block the content. That means that if you change your date to 2020 it will work again even with these security updates (because Flash shouldn’t be dead by then).

BUT SONUCAIS I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE THE DATE

EVERYTIME I WANT TO PLAY FLASH CONTENT! >:(

I told you already! Let’s uninstall these updates!

Assuming you are on Win8/10, go to Windows Update → Update History → Uninstall Updates.

Uninstall the Security Updates for Adobe Flash Player one by one from most recent to older until it works. I had to uninstall two updates. When I found this problem I was on 32.0.0.445 (you can check this on NG Player by right clicking).

Uninstalling one update (October 2020) will downgrade to 32.0.0.387. Still didn’t work.

Uninstalled one more update (June 2020). Now it’s perfectly working on 32.0.0.330.

So yeah, the most stable version working seems to be 32.0.0.330.

EXTRA STUFF

Use this just in case you need it.

Adobe Flash Player 32.0.0.465 (executable): Standalone version of Adobe Flash Player (final release). This is the most stable version but it can’t create projectors. Can be used to play downloaded SWF files. Download for Linux and Macintosh.
Adobe Flash Player 10.1.52.14 (executable): The latest version of Adobe Flash Player that enabled to create standalone (aka projectors or executables) players without the original FLA. Go to File → Open and browse your SWF file.
SUENIO direct SWF download: This is one game that does not work with Ruffle. Download the original SWF file for testing with the previous executables.

Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller: Use this to uninstall (not pre-installed Windows/Edge/Internet Explorer) Flash Player.
Adobe Flash Player 30.0.0.134 (Plug-In)+(Active-X)+(PPAPI): Released on July 10, 2018. Use only if you really need it.
/format/flash?emulate=flash: You can force Ruffle emulation by adding this at the end of any Flash submission.
MDM Zinc 4.0.22 (DRM Free): This software died years ago but it’s a great solution if you need to create executables for SWF games (also for Linux and Mac). This was used in games like Deadly 30 (Gonzossm).
Support Ruffle: Ruffle is a Flash Player reimplementation for the web and desktop (emulator).
All Adobe Flash Player versions: All found on Adobe’s archive page.

Newgrounds player not working

I click «Launch in Newgrounds player». The Newgrounds player comes up with the Flash logo with an «i» next to it. I click on it and nothing happens. Nothing starts to load. Nothing changes. I believe I installed the latest version. I use the link you get when you ask for the player in Newgrounds. Any help?

Just read all you have to do is change your computer’s date to before 2021

Fucking with the date too much might not be beneficial to overall functionality. Here is a better solution.

#metoo.looks like Adobe’s killswitch also killed the NG player which depended on Adobe AIR to work.

Still works for me, weirdly enough.

My bad. It’s not AIR’s fault. Looks like NG Player makes use of the ActiveX Flash Player. Which seems to be dead. I uninstalled it and tried to install an older version and the windows just coughed up an Error 1722. When i tried to run NG player again, and it prompted to install version 32(latest) of AX Flash player, it also coughs up the same error.

Try downloading the current version of NG Player and doing a fresh install. Let me know if it’s still not working afterwards. Older versions would have had the killswitch, if that is what is happening now.

Also if Windows prompts you to uninstall Flash, be sure to click No. The player needs the Flash runtime to be installed.

Ignore previous post. Actually clicked reply too soon. I downloaded NG Player in December last year, was there a new version since then? It’s 21.6 MB in size, does not say what version it is. These forums need an edit button btw.

You actually should see a red pencil edit button in the top corner of your reply. Let me know if you don’t see it. I’ll delete that other post.

NG Player was updated a month or two ago to avoid the killswitch, then updated again a week ago due to a second potential killswitch.

Yep exactly the same revision number <4797581b-471c-4527-80c8-adbd63bee177>and filesize. It can’t install the Active X Flash player anymore. It just coughs up the same error I said before. As AFAIK, according to Kong forums, it’s the latest Flash Player plugin (version 32) which has the killswitch, which NG Player is trying to install. Version 28 supposedly still works.

EDIT: Ok. Looks like I can’t edit older posts. Will try the newer download and see..
