Biggest issue I see with the app is the lack of quick change from one account to another, which we can do with Chrome.

The app requires me to remember each password set...  unfortunatley my old brain freezes up as often as the app...

I still use Chrome just for this one issue, but of course, computers fight me every time I sign in..  haha...

My playing time is reduced because of issues, but I still like Plarium Pirates.

I don't have Windows 10 at home yet, but at work we have web apps that require Flash. I discovered Flash is built into IE 10 as an add-on. I had to enable it in the Add-ons settings and for that particular app, I also had to toggle Active-X from the Safety menu in options. Has Pirates: Tides of Fortune been tested  with Internet Explorer (NOT the Edge browser) in Windows 10?

Hello Snidely!

As far as I know, the announcement above is about every browser. I believe you won't be able to play without Flash Player after December 2020 in Internet Explorer as well.

Hello, if have any possibility to pirates run on mobile phone, would be more comfortable and faster, probably with more time spend in game due to mobile phone are in nowadays always with us?

Thanks

Hello!

Thanks for this suggestion. Yes, I agree that it would be more comfortable, but Pirates wasn't designed as a mobile game, so it's really difficult to change it now.

Plarium play is very inferior to flash, at this time. Seems like a long way to go. I play a lot but not computer savvy at all. Simplicity, ease and speed are greatly needed.

Hello!

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Yes, we agree that Plarium Play still needs improvements. We've got a whole team dedicated to this and we have reasons to believe that it will be significantly improved in future.

Previously we were able to play pirates on the phone using puffin browser and photon flash browser. Is there anything that could be implemented into plarium play that would allow us to play pirates like this? Note: about 6 months ago puffin browser and photon flash browser stopped allowing playability on pirates. I am unsure why but I assumed it had something to do with the flash problem. Having the ability To play pirates on the phone was incredibly useful. Thanks

Hello!

Thanks for your question!

Pirates: Tides of Fortune was designed as a browser game and it's not optimized for mobile devices, I'm afraid. I'm really sorry to disappoint you, but so far there are no such plans. 

Good luck in the seven seas!

I understand, thank you Alina. If they ever decide to try to implement this I would be glad to help in any way I can. I think if they did ever decide to toy with the idea and were successful it would bring a lot more new players into the game. I appreciate the straight forward sincere response. Have a great day

Hi there! Thanks a lot for your understanding. It's a pleasure to get such nice replies 

Have a great day, too!

Good question. I took it for granted that the answer is "yes", but you're absolutely right: we need to know for sure.

So, I asked and they have confirmed: if we manage to get Flash running in our browsers after 2020, the game will work.

I'm not sure that the browsers will allow us to install it, so it may be useful to set up a separate browser, before the end of the year, used only for the game, and never update it again, at least until you're sure you will be able to get Flash installed in your usual one.

Linux users are being left to hang (being one myself, I know this for a fact). But Mac is supposed to be supported. What happens when you try to download the app here?

Problems with the Mac app should be reported, so Plarium can fix them on time.

As for Linux, I am yet to see a stable solution based on Wine for anything. I haven't had the time to do deal with this, but I'll likely go with VirtualBox + some minimal Linux with no auto-updates + the latest pre-2021 Chrome.

The Chrome approach will work for you if you use it only for this game (maybe other Flash games too). But if you use it for other browsing, it'll only be a temporary solution, because other sites will start requesting newer versions, with newer technologies,... Usually, only the current and the previous two versions are "supported", which is quite a short time span when it comes to Chrome.

I have no hopes that Plarium will make a universal app. Linux users are on their own, which might actually be an advantage, as we'll make it work somehow, while others will rely on Plarium Play which seems to have issues quite often (or so I'm told).
