Dear KingsIsle,

I just got a message saying Adobe will no longer support Flash Player as of December 31st, 2020. It says to uninstall it. What should I do. How will this affect the game in the new year? Help!!

Thank you,
Morgon Moonstone

Hi Morgan! The game should run fine without it. You should be ok! If problems still occur though at that time, please feel free to contact our support team.

So, what happens if the game tells you that you need to install flash player (which comes into play on the website as well as the in game crowns video window)? If Flash is no longer supported, do you know if they'll still be releasing older versions? Is there a roadmap to transition from Flash to another method?

Many games that are on flash have been moving to launchers so they can stay up. Since Wizard101 has always been on a launcher, it won't be a problem.

How will this affect Crowns Videos? I can't watch them if I don't have Adobe Flash Player. My laptop did not have AFP until I installed it because of the videos. I have been aware for some time that AFP would not be supported after December 31, so is KI working to fix what will be an issue for many who do watch the Crowns Videos?

I don't think this will be a problem for wizard101 but what about FREEKI GAMES they use flash player.
