Well, Pepper Flash in the past has caused crash issues, but you can disable the PPAPI plugin in chrome://plugins

 

As for Flash's links...

 

Uninstaller: http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe

 

32-bit + 64-bit Flash Installer: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

 

If Flash still crashes, try disabling the Pepper Flash PPAPI plugin and use the NPAPI plugin instead.

Unfortunately I can't go to the 64-bit version yet unless EA have pulled their collective fingers out of their proverbial rear end holes and made 64-bit versions of the Battlelog plugins for Battlefield 4.  I tried a month to 6 weeks ago and Battlelog just wouldn't install the plugins right, or at least couldn't detect them. Presumably because they weren't actually installed because they require a 32-bit version of Chrome.

 

Wonder what EA will do if the new 64-bit version gets upgraded to automatically by default, and they find everyone with Chrome can no longer play their games?

Battlelog's plugins are 32-bit only. However, there is a workaround... kinda... give Battlelogium a try. I use it for Battlefield 4!

Nice find thanks... the description sounds cool though.  I'm not familiar with GitHub though, and there's a massive list of things at the top I could potentially download. Is there a nice simple installer for the latest BF4 version of it you could help me to find please? I've ended up so far with just a folder full of other folders, with a single html file at the root. Forgive me being dense :)

Here you go!

Awesome!

 

One note to add though, probably worth mentioning some plugins like Battlelog's web plugins, the WMP plugin for Firefox and QuickTime's plugin won't work as there isn't 64-bit plugins available for these. Flash, Java and Silverlight will work though!

the WMP plugin hasn't worked for several versions though anyway (even on 32bit) due to API changes so that's not anything new

Interesting, didn't know that as I don't use it. :p

 

Anyways, anyone experiencing Flash crashes with 64-bit Chrome is running into issue 360206, e.g. the Flash NPAPI plugin crashes. The workaround for this issue is to do the following;

 

1) Go to chrome://plugins

 

2) Click the plus details button to expand the plugin details tree.

 

3) Under Adobe Flash Player, assuming you have the NPAPI plugin installed, you should see two Flash plugins.

 

4) Disable the NPAPI plugin and restart Chrome.

 

5) Profit!

 

P.S. If you're experiencing Flash crashes on 64-bit Chrome, make sure you report you're experiencing the issue at the link above!

no issues using the PPAPI flash plugin on 64bit chrome here. have had the beta installed on my HTPC for a few weeks and had no issues w/ flash

 

and yeah I knew about the WMP thing because I used to use it to load a local radio station's web player which uses WMP plugin

Yep, the PPAPI 'Pepper Flash' plugin is solid as a rock stable here too! :D

 

Also worth pointing out that 64-bit binaries are for Windows (and Linux, but those have been out for a long time) only. Google's working on 64-bit Chrome builds for Mac but I don't know when they'll be released to stable (they don't seem to be in the dev channel yet).

They already are in Canary and Dev channels. I'm using 64-bit Chrome dev on my Mac right now. Here is the news about it.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
