Reproduction Steps:
1.) Firefox (64 bit) auto-updates to version 50.0
2.) attempt to start FoE
Observed: After selecting the server to play, the screen turns black, no loading bar appears
Expected: FoE should be playable
3.) update FlashPlayer to newest version
4.) attempt to load FoE
Observed: Still black screen as above
Expected: Inno, PLEASE consider an other platform, this damn Flash SUCKS!!!

ermmm..... Firefox 50.0, newest Flash (updated 5 minutes ago)

I have performed a quicksearch of the forums using a select few keywords relating to my bug to see if it has already been reported: yes, nothing found here in the bugs forum

This is because the recent workaround suggested by inno for lags in FF (see here, follow the link in my 2nd post and reverse the property to the standard value)

 

[Andi47]

Thanks.
Just a question before I try and switch back to Firefox (currently using Opera):
How is the performance with the property ON in FF 50? Is it still a crawl as in FF49, or has this been fixed by FF/Flash?

Quite good on live server, laggish here (tavern-stuff related, I guess)

 

[Andi47]

Thanks.
I tried, but for now I will stay with Opera, where the performance is much better.

I've made the workaround, but I still get the black screen on Firefox.

I've made the workaround, but I still get the black screen on Firefox.

It means that your value is like the one below? The value now must be true

Firefox >= 50.0, Flash >= 23,0,0,207

 

[SirSmithy]

I have it on false.... this is what Darkstar was posting.
Should it be true?

 

[RedRed]

Yes, false was a workaround for Firefox 49, workaround must be reverted to the built-in state in Firefox 50

 

[SirSmithy]

Thanks for info... will try later

 

[SirSmithy]

well. it still not working with this option. My another guess is the outdated Flash, as I don't have enough rights to update it... :S

thanks for the help. I will forward this workaround to my guildies on my main server.

Workaround didn't work for me either. I have reverted back to FF49 for weeks now.

My another guess is the outdated Flash, as I don't have enough rights to update it...

Yes, probably the issue comes from the wrong combination of Firefox/Flash versions. With latest versions of both it runs fine for me.
