I'm incapable of playing on PC. I used the supplied flash player and it just closes. I downloaded it from the main site and the same thing happens. Please help.
Same here. Just instantly closes after showing a blue background. Same problem for all versions (35, 44, 90), multiple machines (Win 10, Win 7) and any player (multiple versions of the standalone flash player and in firefox).
I never had any problems with flash games before, what is so different about this one?
I finally managed to get it to work.
TL;DR: This game requires a connection to the internet (for the first start), unless you are mad enough to do what I did.
By starting the game with one of the debug versions of flash player, I encountered an error message similar to this "[...] TextInfoContainer could not be found [...]". Some googling lead me pretty fast to believe that this game uses the Text Layout Framework (TLF) as a library. The flash player needs to download it from one of Adobe's servers when it is used for the first time. (And for whatever reason Adobe decided to just exit the application if the library is neither locally present or the servers can not be reached)
So I ...
1. Intercepted the outgoing network traffic. Found two HTTP GET requests against Adobe's servers:
-
You must be registered to see the links
-
You must be registered to see the links
2. Downloaded both files via an external device
3. Routed all traffic to fpdownload.adobe.com to my local machine
4. Started a local http server and served the downloaded files
5. Enjoyed the game
I think I had more fun figuring all this out, than actually playing the game :rolling-eyes:
PS: I believe it is possible to package the library into the .swf file. But apparently the author did not do that.
PSPS: Maybe there is a way to install this library by simply copying it in the right directory?
