Plarium App

Todays Ingame news


My Lords and Ladies,


Good news! You can now benefit from faster movement speed by playing on the Plarium Play Desktop Application. You'll also get a Special Plarium Play Pack the first time you open it, so what are you waiting for? 


Simply download Plarium Play! 


Make your mark and prove your mettle on Plarium Play.

My question is how can i do that on linux?


Since this game being a browser flash game was OS agnostic everyone who can run flash can play.  

Now it looks like you are excluding certain number of players that played for a long time.  


I know you will say you can still play in the browser. The problem is support for flash in browser is going slowly away.

You would think that a company that "cares" for it's customers would develop a cross platform solution.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or will i have to use my time and develop a solution that will work on linux too?

Have you ever heard of Electron? I'm sure some of your team use VS Code, Slack or Discord. Just giving you some examples

Hi there Lord Zapelo, it has been a long time since I have used Linux so only asking, can you still run windows in a window of the Linux operating system as this would solve your problem

The plarium app is also flash based.

If nothing else he could just run it on a vm.

The browser versions of Throne and Rise of Balur do not seem to be flash based, on chrome or plarium desktop app

Would love to know what systems they are using
Hi, Stiletto. All our games are working on Flash Engine. We decided to abandon using WebGL.

Hi, Stiletto. All our games are working on Flash Engine. We decided to abandon using WebGL. 

I'm finding this answer to be a bit confusing

This is Throne: Kingdom at War on the plarium.com server running on Google Chrome Browser

http://prntscr.com/mxe1u9

Flashplayer is blocked (by default) so how is it possible that all games are working on Flash Engine?

I need to manually unblock flash to play Stormfall etc, but not with Throne, so what is different?


Well, I tried it, and yeah it use flash. I have flash blocked by default as well. But as long as I did allow for Stormfall to run flash earlier, I didn't have to allow for this to run now. If I rebooted (or restarted Chrome), I'm quite sure I would get a pop up with "do you allow flash" if I went straight to try load this game. Which btw is just the same old pig just with different paint slapped on it.

Lords, I should admit that our developers strongly recommend using game application for playing the game. In most cases, it works better than browser version of the game. 

Can we then please have faster updates on basic issues for the AP such as:


1. Adding friend request notifications

2. Adding Refresh button

3. Adding multiple account logins


This is not hard stuff. App IS way better in speed and issues, but most of my league doesn't know they have received friend requests. Every reset - and whenever anything else happens -  I have to close app and reload it (or go back and reload). And have to retype logins each time.


This is not required in browsers and slows down game play and satisfaction. This should have been a DEV PRIORITY months ago!


Or you download a stand alone flashplayer from adobe. Then get someone tech savey to make some scripts and a simple UI  for you, and you have your own app :p

I don't really expect Plarium to put to much effort into this "app", when we are playing a dying breed of games they have given us no real assurance will be here in the future. As CM said above they scrapped WebGL, and we heard nothing about any other alternatives.All we know for certain is flash is on a doomsday clock and ticking down fast. A "flashplayer" app have as little future and purpose as games based on flash itself.

Manual Cache delete is a pain for the App

Can someone remind me where to find it on my hard-drive?


Trying to play Stormfall: Rise of Balur (beta) and the game only appears in a small box (bug?)

It wasn't like this yesterday

http://prntscr.com/myhpkn

Only downloaded it to checkout the New Fortress

This is the new league fortress   http://prntscr.com/myhu35

Hope we get it soon on Age of War


Edit: Tried re-installing the App but it made no difference

Lords, our devs are constantly working to improve the game application. I hope all the missing features will appear soon in the game. 


Stay tuned!

Just give them an official response and they'll go away. He makes an interesting case though.

Hi, guys! I should admit that it's possible to delete the cache in the game app. Here is an instruction:

Please find the "Plarium Games" application shortcut on your Desktop area >> right-click it >> click on the "Open file location" option >> delete the "Cache" folder in the opened location.

I hope this information will be useful. 
I think they meant they want it as an option within the app itself (like a "clear cache" button).  But yeah, they can just go into the game files and delete it manually.

It would be great if we had a game application version for Linux but this requires a lot of work of our developers. Currently, the have a huge list to-do for other game features and improvements. So, most likely the game app version for Linux won't be released. 

Err ... No!!

You already have a Mac version. A linux version will use exactly the same source code - so no extra coding is required. All that you would need to do is compile the same (Mac) source code on a linux machine - a few minutes, perhaps?

Moreover if you compile on a 32-bit machine the resulting binaries will work just as well on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines... 2 for one!

To reduce workload even further.. wrap up the binaries in a stand-alone tarball that way it becomes universal - no need to mess about with rpm's or apt's.. and the cherry on top of the icing on the cake is it'll work on chromebooks too (chrome OS is linux).

One size fits all... might be an idea to compile simultaneously on Mac and Linux... save time

Hello, Zapelo. Thank you for this question. Unfortunately, we don't have so many players that are using Linux OS. That's why we have a game app only for Windows and Mac OS. 

It would be great if we had a game application version for Linux but this requires a lot of work of our developers. Currently, the have a huge list to-do for other game features and improvements. So, most likely the game app version for Linux won't be released. 


Hope for your understanding. 



I think you'll find there are more users using Linux than you may think. Once flash support is abandoned you may well lose a lot of revenue, unless you find a workaround for linux users... Why not make a port of your plarium play app for linux?

Your cache delete will be in your Browsers history area and questions regarding ROB should be directed to this forum  https://plarium.com/forum/en/stormfallrob/ 

Wesley, the app does NOT use a browser, so how could the cache be stored in browser history?   


The cache is stored on our hard drive and must be manually deleted, but it can be a real pain to find it

AppData\Local\Plarium\PlariumPlay\PlariumPlay.exe

This is the best method to find it all

Right click on the Desktop Icon and select Properties

Then click Open File Location   http://prntscr.com/n3a6mn

does the app require that i have flash player already downloaded on my computer to run the app?


if i have to buy a new computer, lets say january of 2021, will i be able to run the app?  i wont be able to download flashplayer from Adobe. 


im sure you can see where that may pose a problem after adobe disontinues flash. 

The app is flashplayer at core. It's just wrapped in a "Plarium shell". When you run the Plarium app, you run flashplayer, simple as that.
