Flash needed for China

I'm caught in a unique predicament here.

 

I'm residing in Singapore. And I do play some online RPG games in China sites. They use flash. And they are still using Flash.

 

With the current EOL, I am not able to do so. I tried to install the China Flash version. Got an error message stating something about different region. With one swoop, my game is in limbo in China.

 

I spent the last two days trying alternatives/solutions. I won't mention the frustrations.

 

Anyone with advice or suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Correct answer _maria_

    The Flash version that runs in China is only for mainland China region, it will not work anywhere outside of China.


    It doesn't matter what country the web content is hosted in, Flash Player has reached end-of-life and all supported browser vendors will soon deprecate Flash Player as well, meaning they won't load the plugin at all.

    I think you can try to install an old version of flash, you need one without the kill patch.... 32.0.0.255 for sure works...

    i'm still working on the issue. won't reveal more since adobe has made its stand.

     

    but i can tell you this: the game which i'm on, which uses the latest flash in china currently, showed a box prompt today, stating that the flash is outdated (they are at 34.0.0.118 now). and i'm not using v33 (which was the last one before it was killed). perhaps v32 you proposed will get the same prompt.

    vpn into china, is very difficult. there's not many servers inside china that works well with rest of world. bad ping times. that option is the only way to allow flash to work. some broadcast platforms (similar to facebook live/tiktok) i'm in do restrict access when they know the IP is outside china.

    I understand 2144 is managing the software over there. Am I correct to say they will also retire the software in around 2023?

    We're not in a position to speak on behalf of 2144 about what they will or will not do.  We license technology to them for distribution.  We don't run their business.
