Question

Previous version to 21.0.0.182

Hi

Flash player automatically downloaded version 21.0.0.182 to my MacBook Pro OS 10.10.5

I play a computer game (WGT golf) and this version seems incompatible with my favourite game.  

I am wanting to know what the previous two versions were so that I can uninstall 21.0.0.182 and reinstall the one of the previous versions.

Thanks

Kay

Thanks for that.

I tried it.  It makes no difference.  The same issues still exist.   Is there someone at Adobe that can look into this?  There are many many players of the WGT game that have the same issues.

Is this the previous version?   I have just installed El Capitan so am now on Version 10.11.3

My web browser is Safari Version 9.0.3 (11601.4.4)

The web page is:   www.wgt.com

It is very difficult to explain the problem but here goes:

This is an online golf game.  It has 2 aspects to play it:   1: You move a marker to determine direction.  2: You use a meter at the bottom of the screen to determine distance, but this also affects direction as well.  The aim is to hit a designated mid-point on the meter by pulling the meter back to the distance you want to hit the ball, and then releasing it at the mid-point.  If you don't release it at the mid-point this affects the distance and direction that the ball travels.   With the current flash version, when in the putting screen, it is virtually impossible to move the meter to the desired point along the scale to achieve the distance you want to hit, and it is impossible to stop the meter at the mid-point.  It just goes past it.   The meter appears to work for one putt, but not thereafter. 

In addition, when trying to move the marker and/or move the meter, the computer goes into a loop (i.e. you get the colored ring that indicates the computer is working hard), the fan kicks in harder, and often you get a message: "Can't Connect to WGT".

It is customary for most people who play this game to line up their putts thus deciding where to move the aim-marker to, by looking at the shot in 'reverse view' (an option provided by the website).   When you go into reverse view, it seems to exacerbate the above problems. 

I don't know if you are from Adobe, but I am not the only Mac user playing this game who is experiencing this problem.  See the following link:  is Flash a thing of the past..!! - World Golf Tour

It is impossible to take a screenshot of this, I think, because it is something that happens in action.

Thanks again

This link might help you with the previous version query Flash Player 20.0.0.306

Meanwhile, we will investigate into the issue with the latest build.

Thanks!
