It's impossible to download the file if it isn't loaded in the plugin, so that's why this is an issue. unit圓d file for offline play in the future. At the same time I want to voice some way of obtaining the. I can understand if Itch is trying to completely move away from the web player format all together. With tech like the web player so old as it is, there will only be so much more time left to use old builds of web browsers just to utilize even older plugins. I just found out Firefox and several other browsers are making NPAPI completely unusable like Chrome in early 2018. So, what I'm getting at is I would very much like to get a few of these games while still possible. The massive collection of freeware games I have has been essential to starting friendships and opening up a common ground with people I otherwise wouldn't get to do. It never fails to surprise me how many gamer's not only are unaware of how big the indie scene is, but how vast the freeware gaming scene is these days too. I have been developing games myself the last five years or so and a lot of the games made by developers on here, or I discovered through here are extremely nostalgic for me and important in the way any good video game is to a gamer. I have been passionate about freeware gaming since 2007, and have around ten thousand freeware PC games on my backup drive today. It may seem silly, but I would very much like to download some of these little gems. At first I thought Web Player had been completely removed even past Chrome doing so years ago, but just recently connected the dots that the only games that don't load are on here. All good things must come to an end, as they say, so perhaps this is the time to move on from those older games and try other ones.It appears to me Itchio has made all Unity Web Player games (Not WebGL) refuse to load in, even when using an appropriate browser to do so. **Keep in mind that this may well break many other games or damage or delete your saved games**, so if you try it, only try it with that one game, and don't have other games or software running when you monkey with the date. **I'd strongly recommend against it**, but as a test you might try to set your computer's date back a few months to when you last knew the game operated properly and try running it to see if it is indeed a date check. If the game is actively maintained the authors could probably just update the game to run under the new Unity tools which would enable them to be played on any modern browser without the need for a plugin. I rather doubt that the Kongregate site itself it doing a version requirement check for a non-existant version of the player. Often browsers and major plugins have a planned version release schedule, and they'll build in date checking safeguards to ensure that after a given date that old versions of the software should no longer run as a matter of security, expecting that there should be at least a few more current versions released by that point. I suspect that the requirement check for version 5.5 of the Unity Web Player may have been built right into the Unity Web Player itself and that is why it is asking for it to be updated. So you can use a different browser, roll back the version of your current browser to one that supports Unity (not recomended as you will lose alot of security updates), or choose to no longer play games that require Unity. This sounds like a question that you need to ask on a Unity forum.Īs you mentioned, Chrome and FF no longer support Unity. does that mean that we need to have the entire Unity Editor installed now instead of just the Unity Web Player? Seems a bit silly to me. Only the Unity Editor runs at version 5.5 and that is something like a 10GB program suite for people who intend to design their own games, rather than just playing online content. The latest version is 5.3.8f, but the Kong player keeps asking for the update to version 5.5 which does not exist because Unity stopped making web player updates at 5.3. The Unity Web Player is NO LONGER SUPPORTED by the Unity team, and currently ONLY is available for IE11 and Safari, there is zero official player for Chrome or Firefox.
