I have never had this problem before, but in both FIrefox and Chrome, none of my save files are staying on my computer.
I played Crush the Castle TD last night in Firefox. I didn't delete any history. Today I come back to it and none of the data is saved. I was logged into the site when I played too. This happened in Chrome too.
The same problem happened with Lear to Fly 2, for me. This has never happened to me before.
Is anyone else having this problem? Or is something wrong with my computer?
If something is wrong with your computer, this may help:
What operating system are you using? This information can be very important unless it is a boot level problem. There are many levels it can come to:
(none)- There are no problems '1'
(simple issue)- Cookies or temporary files are set to delete '2'
(browser issue)- The internet browser locks up or does not save files in a game, It may also be the game itself. '3'
(OS issue)- The OS you are using bugs up when trying to save files on all browsers. Use system restore or recovery to fix it. '4'
(Boot issue)- No matter what OS you use, you cannot save files on any browser. '5'
(Severe boot issue)- No matter what OS you use, you cannot save anything even if it isn't on your browser. '6'
(Physical partition issue)- You take the hardrive to a completely different computer, only to have the same issues. '7'
(Total issue)- The entire computer in itself does not boot correctly and deletes the save of your OS. This is a total problem and you may not be able to login to AG at all. '8'
It's Windows OS. I'm wondering if it's a virus or something now. This has never happened to me, but I wonder if it's a Flash update that also might be causing it.
Make sure that when you next start a flash game, right click on the screen, select settings and make sure you have allowed enough space for Flash Player to save your progress.
Many people forget to up the limit on how much the games can store, and are losing their progress.
Okay, I believe I have figured this out. There's a new flash update (10.3) and new browsers updates (spanning multiple different web browsers) that affect what happens when history and cookies are cleared.
Local Shared Objects (LSO) or flash cookies, the .sol files that contain flash game save data, where once persistent even when cookies were cleared. This meant your saved game data (LSOs) would stay on your computer until you manually deleted them or the allotted amount of space for them was exceeded. Now, with the updates, the flash game save data (LSO cookies and .sol files) are deleted when you clear your cookies.
This means clearing your cookies deletes your saves. It's even worse though because clearing your cookies on one web browser, but not the other, will still delete your saved games across all browsers. So, even if I play all my games in Firefox and never clear any cookies or history in Firefox, clearing the cookies in the Google Chrome web browser will deleted all my flash game save files (LSOs) across all browsers.
Browser control refers to the web browser's ability to delete Local Shared Objects and to prevent the creation of persistent Local Shared Objects when privacy mode is enabled. As for the former, Internet Explorer 8, released on 19 March 2009,[7] implements an API that allows browser extensions to co-operate with the browser and delete their persistent data stored when user issues a Delete Browsing History command.[8] However, two years passed since its introduction until Adobe, on 7 March 2011, announced that Flash Player v10.3, which was still in development at the time, supports co-operating with Internet Explorer 8 or later to delete Local Shared Objects.[9] Also on 5 January 2011, Adobe Systems, Google Inc., and Mozilla Foundation finalized a new browser API (dubbed NPAPI ClearSiteData). This will allow browsers implementing the API to clear Local Shared Objects.[10] Four months later, Adobe announced that Flash Player 10.3 enables Mozilla Firefox 4 and "future releases of Apple Safari and Google Chrome" to delete Local Shared Objects.[9] As for the behavior in browser's privacy mode, Adobe Flash Player 10.1, released on 10 June 2010, supports the privacy modes of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari. Local Shared Objects created in privacy are discarded at the end of the session. Those created in a regular session are also not accessible in privacy mode.[10][11]
