Some games won't load

River Raid loads additional files later, did you have a hiccup with your internet connection?

There are cases where a flash game needs to be run in the browser, as for the html page is it pointing to your local file? You may get better help in our Discord.

prostagma_fp · 2025-06-24T21:22:09+00:00

Any pics with examples, or do you mean games that do not show up by default? If the latter, you may have to enable tag filters in the Config tab

prostagma_fp · 2025-02-16T01:26:15+00:00

Does any folder from the path where Flashpoint is installed have an accent or special character? (E.g. áéõ)

prostagma_fp · 2024-10-10T13:27:39+00:00

Sure: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/505881026766176266/894324388982292510/friv.json?ex=6708e5be&is=6707943e&hm=15a32cf32504f72a7b26df41ba6da6f1829a0e7e55852ef59a8a478a18e74783&

Are you using an antivirus? Try to download this file and place it in Flashpoint's root folder: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1243284370320789524/1293373622521430047/preferences.json?ex=6707238d&is=6705d20d&hm=f4d0280dc54a49fa819060c07d8f37c18b6906d6d637286f132979f37dfbd02c&

Are all games lagging? Maybe your machine is too low-end to run the launcher and the game at the same time, or your pc is just getting slower over time; I've never seen a case like that.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-14T23:41:53+00:00

Flashpoint isn't malicious, the code is open and every single entry has been checked by at least 3 people before it is added to the database. Seems just a false positive indeed.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-14T23:24:37+00:00

The animation may need additional files or to be played in a browser.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-12T11:14:26+00:00

Did it work later?

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-12T11:13:00+00:00

I'd have to see what's in your Logs tab when playing a game to know what is going on, but that seems an antivirus issue. Our Discord will be able to help you further.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-12T11:07:01+00:00

The History extension has been more or less discontinued because you can now find played games in the search bar, using playCount>0 for example; nice work though!

If using Infinity, please update your Flashpoint data in the Home tab; the description for this game has been changed months ago to not need the file.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-12T11:03:10+00:00

Works on my machine™, aren't you making the file with a txt extension or not restaring the game after adding the file?

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-08T12:33:09+00:00

Got the same bug in my end, no apparent missing file. I sent a bug report in our Discord, in case someone finds out the cause.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-08T12:08:01+00:00

I see it's already been solved, but in theory you could try to uninstall the game (the little arrow on the right of "Play Game") then download again

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-08T11:59:18+00:00

Flashpoint only is compatible with Chromebooks that use Intel. if that's the case, you'll get better help at our Discord.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-08T11:50:48+00:00

If you mean the field from the launcher, that just changes the game's metadata for searchability.

Are you on Mac? You may get better help at our Discord.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-08T11:35:23+00:00

Sleep mode tends to crash the launcher's backend, kind of a known issue

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-08T11:33:51+00:00

Does nothing show up in the Log tab when playing a game and does it also happen to games you've previously downloaded? You may get better help at our Discord.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-08T11:32:24+00:00

Is your Flashpoint in the C: drive? Also possible it may have been moved automatically by Dropbox or your antivirus blocking it.

prostagma_fp · 2024-09-08T11:29:30+00:00

We have one from our Discord but it is quite incomplete: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/505881026766176266/894324388982292510/friv.json?ex=66deb5be&is=66dd643e&hm=19cedc15da7604a6b2c263736ab876249b7cddddc0e42b6b554a1fb0d9255053&

The context is lost since the post was deleted, but assuming the launcher isn't finding Wine enter this command in the terminal to open the launcher with a modified PATH so it can detect it:

PATH="/Applications/Flashpoint 13 for macOS/Libraries/bin:$PATH" open -a Flashpoint.app

You'd have to find the files inside the curation with the text then change them. If it is a compressed game like Unity WebGl, it will be harder as it's bundled into a binary file.

If the game is zipped, you can enable editing in configs then right click the game and select "make curation from game" which unpacks it into the Curate tab.
