A'ight. I was told to post here then.

So the basic gist of it is, I use Linux to do my major computing/gaming/internet browsing/whatever. And I recently got re-addicted to Gaia because a friend of mine told me to play zOMG.

zOMG worked wonderfully for me for a time... but that's just because I was using windows Vista. (to quote a new friend... Vista *stabstab* ) When I was finally freed from Windows Vista (wireless on Linux. yay! whee ) I found that zOMG kept timing out, and would not work. crying I was wondering if it was a linux problem. (Likely because someone in my other post was having the same problems on the same OS, and Mac seems to work fine) *fistshake*

So I wanna know is, is it a setting i can change, is it a problem with my OS, or is zOMG just hating Linux. In which case.. *pulls out a picket sign* STOP THE INEQUALITY!!! END TO OS-ISM TODAY!!!

*marches in circles with a cause* whee

What kind of Linux do you use? Makes me wanna get out my machine, hook it up, and see if I can make it work...
I'm still pretty amateur on Linux though... have you got all the Flash updates and stuff? I think you'll want Flash 10.

I got out my Linux machine (which runs Ubuntu 7.something I think), installed Flash, and am having the same issues.
So, I'm not really sure. Could be an OS thing, but I haven't heard much from other Linux users...

Well.....urrr Flash 9 really works better. Qixter said so in a post and I switched back. It runs a whole lot better. I can't help with the other sorry.

Woot woot, that fixed it right up.

What I did (again I'm on Ubuntu, not sure how different the distros are, I'm still a Linux n00b):
Went to this page and downloaded Flash 9, non debug version.
I extracted the file it downloaded and installed "flashplayer9r159_linux.tar.gz" from the folder "9r159", which I'm assuming is the most current version of Flash 9.

Here's a handy tool to see which version you're currently running.
I hope this helps :D
