anyone else have problems playing fireworks?

[DazzleMagic]

I keep crashing!! I am going to stop playing for now because it's annoying having to log back in! Wondering if I'm the only one. This morning, I had serious lag and couldn't play either! I need credits!!!!

 

[tofubeast]

Yep! It keeps booting me off about mid way through the game. Argh! I need credits!!

Magic, you know I had some trouble earlier today...crashed 4 times, each as the scores were being shown for the end of 1/3. Then the 5th time I tried to play, I actually made it to 5/3, but got an explorer error. So I gave up.

 

[DazzleMagic]

well, Days, with that score...you probably broke the game!

Just an fyi, I reinstalled shockwave player today and thought maybe that was causing my problems, glad I am not the only person I thought maybe I was crazy. Attempted everything emptying cache, cookies, temp pages, uninstall/reinstall shockplayer....Every time I played fireworks and got through the end of the first round I crashed before the scoreboard came up...

P.S. I attempted playing with Firefox and had no issues with crashing during fireworks, so if you have Firefox I would try that...

Yep, same thing happened to me, but I saw the scoreboard and got the little white box crash at the same time. AND...I watched as the next round started and other scores began to increase.

P.S. I attempted playing with Firefox and had no issues with crashing during fireworks, so if you have Firefox I would try that...

Firefox almost always freezes at some point for me...

I use Firefox almost exclusively and don't have problems with freezing. However, my wife uses Explorer almost exclusively but when she tried Firefox it used to freeze after a few minutes (playing VMK, that is - everything else was just fine for Firefox). That was happening on a brand new laptop, so we weren't too happy, but it didn't happen on my laptop which was only four months older. As far as I know, though, it hasn't been freezing on her anymore. Perhaps the latest version of Firefox, or some patch that the VMK Team has made changed something...?

Anyway, I didn't have crashing problems yesterday in Fireworks. I certainly made sure everything was loaded (including all of the clothing and pins in my pockets). Not sure if that helped or not, but that's what I did...

I use VMK Pal, and haven't had any problems with Fireworks. Lots of lag on HM still, but I've only been DC'ed from it once, which is way better than others have been doing, I know. Maybe give VMK Pal a try!

This is what I am getting too - even with my piddly little score.

I keep getting the VMK crashed when I play fireworks, major bummer!

Interesting, That firefox is also freezing on some people....Similar to geggy I had some problems with firefox freezing for some time, and then all of a sudden Internet Explorer started working without any issues. Now that Internet Explorer started crashing I switched back over to Firefox without any issues. Hopefully, Things will be resolved soon for everybody...

After posting the above, I attempted to utilize firefox today and fireworks crashed once again after the first round. I was able to get through a game successfully yesterday but not today, just wanted to update my post...

 

[LittleMermaidsMom]

I keep crashing too.. right at the end of the first round... I'm going to give up for awhile.

 

[DazzleMagic]

well, it's better today, but I am still having some lag!

Days, your stalker asked about you!

 

[AmberDaze]

Days, your stalker asked about you!

Oh no...idol boy?! You're kidding. Maybe I should change my outfit when I go on so he doesn't recognize me.

 

[AmberDaze]

Well, I just tried to play again, in both IE and Firefox. In IE, I crashed the same as yesterday, just as the scores came up at the end of level 1. In Firefox, I just froze during level 1, round 2. Sigh...

not kidding. I was in there earlier, and there he was. I was hoping that he wouldn't recognize me, but of course he started talking about and where you were! Then he asked me to add him. I said "why, am I your idol too?" He didn't say anything back to that! Guess not!

Maybe he is in there all day, just hoping to get a glimpse of the wonderful AmberDaze!!
