Game saves then Deletes later

Report · Jun 23, 2011

Windows 7 64 bit

Flash player 32 bit:

Active X 10.1.53.64

Plug In Version 10.3.181.26

Standalone Version:

Flash Player 10

So the problem started from an update about a week ago (6-16-11) I am able to play the game for as long as i want. It does infact save. It saves to a location similar to this "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\ZNESFQZP\#localWithNet"

It stays there for an undetermined amount of time ocassionally i can check back and it is still there. Then all of a sudden it will no longer be there. Before the update i installed i never had this issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Am I assuming correctly that you use Internet Explorer 9?

One of the new features of IE9 is that if you delete browser history and/or cookies, Flash Player cookies are also deleted.

If you do not want this to happen, don't delete browser history / cookies with the browser itself, but with a 3rd-party application such as CCleaner.

I use Mozilla Firefox and i have not changed any settings since i originally set it up.

But i am not playing the game through the internet. I am using the standalone version of flash player and simply running the game through a .swf on my desktop.

Whenever i am playing games through the internet the data is saved and i can come back to them later without a problem.

Just tested the Browser Delete Theory.

I played a game. Made a save. Closed the game.

Opened firefox. Browsed 3 sites. Closed firefox.

Checked the save game data. And it is deleted.

SO. I unchecked the box that deletes cookies in the settings window of the private tab in firefox options.

Is there some way that i can change the way that Flash Player saves data? It previously only saved the file to a "local" folder. Now it is saving to a "localwithnet" folder.

I've been scouring the internet looking for a solution for this. It's pretty sad that there doesn't seem to be anyone who has a solution. Like you, I have tried everything, to no avail. For me it started right after upgrading to Flash 10.3. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible to go back to the last version of Flash.

Why not? You just need to uninstall the current version before installing an older version.

The older version doesn't seem to be on my computer any longer. I don't know if it overwrites, it shouldn't, but anyway, it's gone.
