This works alright, except for me, the updates reverted me to 32.0.0.255, which works fine too.
Also thanks for linking my original post.
An old NG boomer who refuses to accept that Flash 8 is not longer viable for gamedev. I just want to make some games and live peacefully. I once placed in the top 5 of the month. Started with sprite animations, then learned music, game design and coding.

But it works, that's what matters
Super annoying.
I installed a flash emulator called Ruffle to work around the issue. For opera I just downloaded the chrome version of the plugin and managed extensions to load it unpacked.
Ruffle.rs is the site. I've used up my front page but feel free to post this for the struggle bus beans
The problem with Ruffle is that it will be in development for years until is totally stable. All my content is in AS2 but it uses filters and other advanced shit and all that won't work on Ruffle until whoever knows when. Let's not even talk about AS3.
Seems like a bit of a security risk to your machine, just to play hentai flash games.
Flash always has been a risk to our machines, this is why it's dead ;)
hmm... do you know of any better workarounds other than disable updates? Because my computer likes to do that dumb $#!7 all the time
Change your Windows date to 2020. Other workaround would be to download the SWF and drag the file into a Flash Player executable (not from NG)
Thanks. But also kill me lol
If I'm not wrong, the perfect solution you're looking for might be to understand how exactly works Flash Player on Windows and modify the hexadecimal verification number from 2021 to 2069, so you would no need to change the date anymore.
Not a programmer, but hopefully someone who is will glance here. I wouldn't have even thought of that
i don't have any of those installed in the first place! NG Player is trying to install AX Flash Player 32 in order to work. The Flash Player installer included with NG Player can't work anymore.
Thats's because the NG Player uses Flash Player to load the content. If I'm not wrong, any offline Flash Player instalation should be fine.
This doesn't work for me :-(
Please, give us more details. Your current Flash version (right click on the NG Flash Player), Windowd version...
Thanks! Went to play a really old game and learned I couldn't play. Thanks for the tip!
If it is a really old game without a complex AS2 code or Filters it will probably work perfect or almost perfect with Ruffle! Play the game like this if Ruffle is not enabled by default!

I don't have any of those updates. And I've already tried reinstalling the ng player.
@DamnWei @Sonucais I tried. I can only install Flash Player NPAPI plugin. NG Player requires the AX version of Flash Player... which is included in its installation... which doesn't work. Gave me a Error 1722. As for offline Flash Players. I have the standalone Trang Player 11, which NG Player obviously isn't detecting.
I'm updating the post with info about this 1722 error.
>I have the standalone Trang Player 11, which NG Player obviously isn't detecting.
Misspelled. Trong Flash Player 11. It's included as part of a tool for converting SWFs to EXEs.
Can't seem to uninstall mine, I have the October update only but when I click it nothing happens.
Check the blog entry again. There's a solution to bypass Flash's killswitch without uninstalling anything.
This sounds quite risky to play some flash games. I mean I'm not a fan of Windows updates, but I know that they also do it to keep the OS secured from exploits and what not.
Is there really no other way around? From what I gathered, it's either do this or have every artist change their games from Flash to something else...yikes!
This sucks...
Thank you for this!
If you think about it, Adobe will not update Flash from now on. We just removed two small updates (you can read the update logs, I linked them), but all in all, if we want to keep Flash means we need to be more careful of what we load from now on (which won't be on our browsers, that for sure). Flash was never safe, this is why it died, just don't load unsafe stuff. If it is on Newgrounds or your favourite author, go ahead, won't hurt you.
how about windows 7?
I can't not help you there because I couldn't test but you probably can uninstall Flash Player with "uninstall_flash_player.exe" from Adobe and reinstall NG Flash Player again (witch will install you Flash Player if I'm not wrong). You can also find and install the offline version 32.0.0.330 from Flash Player. Be sure to disable updates when installing Flash Player.
You can delete ng player and reinstall
On Windows 8, 8.1, 10 uninstalling NG Player and reinstalling won't fix this issue if the Windows updates are installed.
Hey, I tried to do that but unfortunately didn't work:(. I have the version 32.0.0.465 of flash player. I would be really thankful if you could help me.
You are a saint, dude!
We are all doing our best!
