![]() ![]() HaTPC still had the same problems as before, along with "Attack of the Slorgs", which still "froze" and even Windows displayed an error message. I didn't play long enough to submit a score, but it seemed to be working. You could not see the current scores and round, but all of the "bowling green" was visible. Parts disappeared when going through the instructions, and only a long black rectangle remained at the top, left corner. The big, black square went away somewhat. The game gave an error message when trying to play it, but closing and trying again, it worked. I still had to add "" in IE 11's "Compatibility View Settings", even for Neopets to display properly. ![]() Hopefully, other TDNers will post if anything else works for them or not.ĮDIT: I tried Gourmet Club Bowls with IE 11 and it worked on my Windows 7, 32 bit computer. (And that is why I believe the HTML/javascript code to "load" the games needs to be updated). If you use the direct link to the games, they play fine, with no issues or "black squares" - you just can't post your scores. Personally, I believe they (Neopets) needs to update the code for these games, as they reference IE 8, Netscape, and 2008, or be updated to Flash or HTML 5, or go the way of the Game Graveyard or retire the avatars. My little netbook doesn't have much memory and all of the Flash ads "eats it up", causing freezing or slow performance. If Safari does work on Windows 10, you may want to install an "ad blocker", as it may help with game performance. YouTube does give a message that the browser is too old and to upgrade to a new browser, but Neopets doesn't give any errors of that nature and I only use it for those games. Again, Safari for Windows is older software, so I do not know if Windows 10 will even allow it to be installed. However, the black square can make it difficult to play. It will start when you "Press Jump To Start". Sadly, HaTPC still has the "black square" issue, but at least you can still play the game. It is still workable, and if you are careful, you can get a high enough score for the avatar and maybe even a trophy, as not many people can play the game. "Attack of the Slorgs" works fine, but there is an issue with Gourmet Club Bowls. Yes, Safari is no longer available for Windows at Apple, but I was able to find the last release (5.1.7) for download. The only other "work-around" I've found is Safari. I haven't upgraded to Windows 10, yet, so I do not know if "Edge" will work or supports Shockwave. I haven't tried Opera, so maybe someone else has had success with it. Since Windows 10 is so new, and sometimes older software is not supported, I'm not sure if you would be able to install an older version of Chrome. Google decided to stop supporting certain plugins with their browser - Silverlight, Java, Unity 3D, and Shockwave, to name a few. None of the games will work with Chrome, if you are using the latest version. I believe Gourmet Club Bowls also displays a "DGS" error with IE11. It acts as if you never tapped or pressed the space bar on your keyboard. And, with HaTPC, you can try to start the game, but when it says, "Press Jump To Start", nothing happens. Unfortunately, you cannot see what you are doing or aiming at in that section. Both display a big, black square, in the top, left quadrant of the screen. Both Gourmet Club Bowls and HaTPC have issues with IE11, too. Not sure if an "ad blocker" would help that, but being unable to post scores, kinda makes it moot for using IE11. Also, I experienced "stability issues" where the game would just freeze. If you play "Attack of the Slorgs", IE11 may let you post your score the first time you play, but after that, posting your score takes you to the "Load Soundtrack" page, and your subsequence scores are never posted. If you try Internet Explorer 11, you will have to add "" to "Compatibility View Settings". Firefox generally gives a "DGS" error, when trying to load the games, even if you try it a couple of times. All have avatars you can "win", and all use Adobe Shockwave. I have a feeling you are trying to play "Gourmet Club Bowls", "Hannah and The Pirate Caves" (HaTPC), and/or "Attack of the Slorgs". But now I updated to windows 10, and it is not working anymore. First I could just install this shockwave version and it mostly worked. I would like to play some games and get some more gam avvies. Upon successful installation, please restart your computer, reload this game, and enjoy! Contact the customer support of for any issues with upgrading this plugin. ERROR : You don't have the latest Shockwave x plugin. ![]()
