Game ex arcade doesn't work at all.

[firestarter44]

I allowed the game ex arcade (add 3000 games etc) and evry time I try to run one, it just opens with a broken flash icon at the top left. I thought it was because I didn't have flash installed but even after I installed it, still no dice. Any ideas?

Hi firestarter44

Please post a copy of your log after this error has occurred. I'm not sure if it will show the details of the error, but it sure beats taking blind guesses in the dark. It also probably wouldn't hurt to see your GameEx.ini as well. Please refer to the the GameEx: How to Ask For Help link in my signature if you're unsure of how to access those files. Thanks man!

I do not play Flash games via GameEx, but in testing, I am not able to get it to work via IE 11 which is my default browser.

You will need to open Internet Explorer, click Settings, then Manage Addons, and make sure that Shockwave Objects is Enabled. You may also need to click Settings, then Safety, then uncheck Active X filters if selected then try again. I am on Windows 10 with IE 11 and it does not work for me regardless. You may get better results installing and choosing a browser that better supports Flash animations and making it your default browser.

Another Internet Explorer fail! What is the world coming to! Firefox and Google takeover?

In firestarter44's defense ... he actually did.

In truth I've been wondering the same thing as Draco. Flash has been on it's way out for quite a while now, if not widely regarded as being dead and buried already. There's less and less support for it at the browser level which (I believe) has an impact for GameEx in terms of compatibility as well (in other words GameEx relies on external factors for Flash rendering).

I thought in a similar vein, but once i typed it out i felt slightly crazy - in this day and age. A few years ago it may have made sense but now it didn't so i erased my post But still, no one should really be having any trouble with Flash Games

Can you play ANY Flash games outside of GameEx? IE in your browser of choice, such as IE, FF, Chrome etc?

That's actually what I mean though. In the "mainstream" Flash has widely been usurped by HTML5. Flash has so many vulnerabilities and security flaws that no one really wants to mess with it anymore. It's like a hot potato on the floor that no one wants to touch. In the case of the OP I can't help but think that Flash is being blocked at the OS (or maybe Anti-Virus) level This article might provide some assistance to the OP, but OTOH it mostly restates what Draco already said.

Flash - it's like the Edsel of web technologies.

A crap that someone did on the kitchen floor that no one really wants to clean up...
