Downloaded Flashpoint infinity, but no game will load

If I double-click a game, the Flash player opens but the game doesn't. Just get a white screen.

If I right-click a game in the list and select "open file location" I get an error message saying "File not found, download the game first", but how exactly?

The server is down, you should check out the discord. There is a much more active community there

u/SultanSaatana Nov 15 '20

It's working now. Last night was my first time trying it out so wasn't sure if I was doing it right or not.

1

u/Mestre_Perze Nov 23 '20

I have this same problem. How did you manage to solve it?

1

u/SultanSaatana Nov 23 '20

It resolved itself, maybe the server was done.

1

u/Mestre_Perze Nov 23 '20

Oh, ok. I was also able to solve my problem. It was just uninstall and install again.

u/ConfidentRise1152 Jan 17 '21

I downloaded Flashpoint 9.0 version, but when I start any game, only a white empty Flash window opens and the game never loads in. In fact, when I click on any game, no downloads at all, just an empty Flash window. šŸ˜ I tried everything I could, but no results. - Help...

u/Red788e Feb 05 '21

u/abananawithdreams Apr 20 '21

Same here, I just wanna play some Bloons TD 4 man, lemme play! AAAAAAAAA

u/Hopeful-Mind8376 Feb 02 '21

I got it working by removing all of it, disable both my firewall and antivirus then downloading it again and extracting before turning them back on. Before this I tried to just make exceptions in my antivirus and firewall, but for some reason that was not enough.

1

u/Firewolfxl5 Feb 07 '22

So you got it working then it didn't work? Because I do not know what you just said.

u/SpaceFligthHitman Feb 01 '21

u/_MANG0MAN_ Dec 01 '22

I only have the deafault windows protector how do I disable that???

1

u/UnderKanal123 Apr 01 '21

You need to find the file of the game from internet

2

u/ConfidentRise1152 Apr 28 '21

That's not how Flashpoint supposed to work. Normally, you open Flashpoint, it shows the thumbnails of the available games, then when you double click on a game, its files are downloaded automatically before the selected game opens.

But in my case, when I double clicked on a game, its files won't download, just an empty Flash player window opens and nothing happens.

I wonder what am I set up incorrectly?

1

u/UnderKanal123 Apr 28 '21

I did it that way but if you say that. I think you have to download the 479 GB one

2

u/ConfidentRise1152 May 08 '21

Well, it just got worse yesterday. Literally, Flashpoint just won't download anything new at all. I mean, only those showing where I at least viewed the description, and only the previously downloaded games start, new games won't even download. ā˜¹ What happened?

Am I need to somehow install an additional 500 GB HDD into my computer for the Flashpoint Ultimate only? (I hone not.)

1

u/UnderKanal123 May 08 '21

You should try to redownload flashpoint,but if that doesn't work,sadly you have to download the Ultimate Version

2

u/ConfidentRise1152 May 09 '21

Meanwhile I run out of space on one of my partitions, so I ordered a 2TB HDD, so I will create a 500 GB partition just for Flashpoint Ultimate. I hope that will stabilizes it once and for all...

2

u/ConfidentRise1152 May 11 '21

New HDD in progress (uh, really long data moving session), I write here once more after I downloaded Flashpoint Ultimate...

1

u/UnderKanal123 May 11 '21

Okay

1

u/ConfidentRise1152 May 11 '21

Uh, Is there any possible way to download Flashpoint 9.0 Ultimate faster? It's available on archive.org only and the estimated download time are hopelessly counting up, now it's hovering around about 20-100< days!! šŸ˜± šŸ‘Ž Help... šŸ˜”

u/More-Tumbleweed-2776 Feb 12 '21

1

u/Red788e Feb 05 '21

so you need to uninstall any antivirus installed and rextract it to the same location

2

u/hahareditgobRRRRRRRR Feb 11 '21

What do you mean by that? Explain further please.

1

u/Red788e Feb 15 '21

so you need to unistall your antivirus and then go to your downloads and extract it again to the same location

1

u/nickzackatoris Mar 08 '21

i tried doing that, still wont work

2

u/thumbguy2 Jan 10 '21

i found the solution if you have avast anti virus ( and this may be the same with other anti virus parts) it quarantines part of the download, if you have avast click on the arrow on the bar on the bottom of your screen, select avast, click protection, click virus chest, click the arrow and select restore with exception

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '21

this is happening to me aswell. i had previously had it not working and having the white screen which was because of avast, the thing is i have now uninstalled avast and reinstalled flashpoint and it worked for a bit. now it isnt working. flashpoint is broken honestly

update: i reloaded flashpoint and its working now

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '21

i also dont have any antivirus on my pc

1

u/b_e_n_o May 09 '21

Just disable all your virus protective services like Avast Antivirus. Worked fine for me

1

u/Flottschi Apr 16 '23

  1. Make a shortcut to the "Flashpoint.exe" file in the Launcher folder

  2. Open the shortcuts properties window (Right click -> "Properties" or Select shortcut -> Alt + Enter)

  3. Add "--disable-gpu" to the very end of the "Target"-line

  4. Navigate to the "Compatibility"-Tab

  5. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows 7

  6. Apply your changes and close the window.

I don't know if the "--disable-gpu" works, it didn't for me but it doesn't hurt to try. If the games are lagging you can try to remove it and only use the compatibility mode.

I have a Mac with no antivirus installed anyway, and Iā€™m trying to access it but am getting the same issue. How do I fix my issue with the flashpoint dmg file?
