Adobe Shockwave Player12.2.5r195

EOL. Ding-Dong, Shockwave's DEAD as of April 9, 2019. Adobe no longer supports it and just posted their very last version EVER, that being for Windows with several critical CVE patches. Good riddance. The curse is over. Read the obituary here:

Flash will soon follow on the stroke of midnight, New Year's Day 2020. Burial party at my place! Shovels supplied. A new era of computer security is on the horizon.

Thank you for any other wonderful post. The place else may anybody get that type of information in such an ideal way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am at the look for such info. Awsome blog! I am loving it!! Will be back later to read some more. I am bookmarking your feeds also <b><a href="https://www.softwares2u.com/" title="Adobe Shockwave">Adobe Shockwave</a></b>

The MacUpdate direct download (for registered MU members) has been hacked. Users are redirected to: http://www.qksrv.net/media/offers/?PID=3146232 Hope someone @ MacUpdate is gonna fix this vulnerability!

Adobe can't even be called a sinking ship. It sank long ago, and Shockwave is simply a bubble being sent up from the depths.

. I swear, even Adobe®'s own website is maximally confusing on this plugin. https://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ The website says "10.7 or 10.8" (only) are supported needing Safari® browser as shown by their "System Requirements", but the link for downloading says: https://get.adobe.com/shockwave/download/?installer=Shockwave_12.1.9.160_Full_(OS_X_10.6_and_above)&standalone=1 .                                                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I peeked into the downloaded dmg and opened its pkg file with Pacifist™. The bundle it installs in the '/Library/Application Support' folder as well as the bundle it installs in the '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins' folder both show this: > <key>DTSDKName</key> > <string>macosx10.6</string> in the bundles' "Contents/Info.plist" files. Seems the pkg also installs several framework bundles which also all show the same key/value pair. And many Xtra bundles again all showing the same key/value pair. And guess what? It installs just fine for my Firefox/Nightly gear where it is duly recognized while running under 10.6.8 (/me still stuck using this dilapidated "iMac6,1" model). However, I feel the dmg also contains an Uninstaller app which is incorrectly marked as Not Runnable on 10.6 — for grins I changed its Info.plist file to allow running on 10.6, and it did successfully do what it says here. And the "plugincheck" page at Mozilla.org shows this as an "Unknown Plugin" even tho it displays the correct (new) version/level. So Adobe® still has some 'repairs' to do with this code, if they want to earn my trust, at least. This also means I once–again request MU to show this data to Adobe® on my behalf at least, since I still am not allowed to do so with their websites (they still contain many gizmos which won't pass my thick security filters). For the time being, I am telling Firefox to disable this plugin. :)

*grumble* When Adobe get around to it, the release notes for Shockwave v12.1.9.160 should show up at: https://helpx.adobe.com/shockwave/release-note/release-notes-shockwave-12.html

I always download Shockwave updates, just in case, but I no longer install them. I've yet to actually need it for anything. While Flash content is still common on the web, I never encounter anything that requires Shockwave. Maybe I'm going to the wrong web sites. Who uses Shockwave, and what for?

This version (12.1.5r155) is NOT a security update. I'm entirely confused why the notes here on MU mention CVE issues from 2010, four years ago. Obviously, these CVE issues were patched four years ago, not now in 2014. There is no Adobe security bulletin for this version and there won't be. It was released December 11th, 2014. So, huh? - - In any case, it's worth keeping Shockwave up-to-date.

Does not install on OS X 10.10

Why You Should Ditch Adobe Shockwave: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/05/why-you-should-ditch-adobe-shockwave/

This piece of crap crashes all the time.

Classic Adobe. Part of their site says it requires 10.7-10.8 another part says 10.6 and up. Installed on a 10.6 machine seems to work fine.

For those asking about sites using Shockwave. Visit explorelearning.com which also makes use of the extras included in the full version rather then the slim.

I'm surprised Adobe keeps updating Shockwave at all. Pretty much dead now that Flash does so much and now with HTML 5 and more taking hold... it's deader than ever, isn't it? This won't even install at all in Firefox anymore that I can tell.

In response to PENGUIRL First of all, what is the difference between the Slim and Full installers Adobe. I wondered the same thing and have managed to find a very comprehensive report on Adobe's website at: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/195/tn_19523.html But the above link is not, in their wisdom, listed on the corresponding download page.

I love the "popular browser plug-in" tagline because I can't recall the last time if EVER I use or see Shockwave content on the web.

Screw Adobe if it thinks I'm going to run Safari in 32-bit mode just to make the crappy new 32-bit Shockwave plugin to work. The installer informs the user AFTER it installs the plugin that the plugin won't work without crippling Safari.

So disappointing to see that Adobe cannot even produce a 64-bit version of their plugins

I'm very surprised to see this is only 32-bit. Then again, I was surprised to see that Shockwave is still a separate product .. and not totally merged into Flash at this point.

Adobe have produced some great stuff over the years, but they have also become arrogant because of their market share. Apple is without doubt a rising star with a solid future. Their OS is second to none, and if Adobe wants to ignore Mac users they might just find their market share shrinking. Apple are savvy enough to bypass many of these big software companies that have held the high ground for so long. Its survival of the fittest.. and if you are an IT vendor you need to release both software and hardware that works for the end user. It also needs to be user friendly and realistically priced. It also has to be multi platform and up to date. Apple advertised some time ago that it was moving to 64 bit. Apple users are growing at a rapid pace world wide. Any company, no matter how large could easily find its sales sliding very rapidly if it ignores market trends. There are always other new companies just waiting in the wings to fill the void. Adobe needs to wake up and take heed of comments made by Apple users around the globe.

Pengirl- I had the same question some time ago. I also had an issue with Flash downloads. I called their tech support line, and after explaining the issues to their support agent, I was "disconnected" quickly. I spoke with a tech friend of mine, and he had me do the download for Safari, thinking it would work on both. Who knows? Your guess is as good as mine here. Adobe is a great company, their software is tops, but I was disappointed with the way my call was received and handled.

First of all, what is the difference between the Slim and Full installers Adobe? Languages? Second of all, when downloading from the Adobe website you have to choose between Safari (webkit) and Firefox (mozilla). What if I use both engines? Or Opera? Another lame effort by Adobe.

While casual gaming and Mac market share is on amazing rise, they don't even bother to compile it 64bit or write 10 lines of text to release notes. I bet they didn't bother to submit new file, Mac update admins found it themselves. Basically shows what is wrong with Adobe, in all kinds of senses.

LOL@32 bit mode. WTF Adobe - get your act together.

Is it a joke? The 11.5.2 version requires the Safari runs in 32-bit mode? What's wrong with it, Snow Leopard is now running 64-bit native! I uninstalled immediately upon installation. crazy application. It just doesn't make sense.

Download link yields a "slim" version again, sad. Here is the full version: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/macosx/latest/Shockwave_Installer_Full.dmg

So the release notes keep saying there is no real changes being made, so what's the point of updating it? What exactly is changing?

I can repeat my comment from 11.5.0.595. This doesn't work. It hangs Safari while downloading and installing the Xtra Package. The second time I tried it, it asked for permission, something that didn't happen the first time. It doesn't even go that far with Firefox 3.x, though. Whoever is in charge of testing must have worked for the defense industry.

For some reason, when Universal binary shipped, Havok 3d scene, a very important framework/add in disappeared. Guess why? Havok, which is PART OF INTEL, didn't care to code Intel version of their plugin. What makes me nuts is, we, PPC users got victim of this stupidity too. Upgrade to Shockwave 11, lose one of very important framework which makes shockwave games natively 3d etc. As result, pool 3d like games won't work.

The annoying bug that was present in the previous release has been removed, and now the sound works again fine.

Since installing, I tried a couple of the games at www.candystand.com and they no longer work at all through Firefox 3 and through Safari, it shows the Shockwave for Director logo and looks as though it's going to download more (full install?) to complete the package but Safari is hung now. I'd say that the updates have had a huge effect on performance. Adobe, get your act together.

@3LUSIV3: Well, try Googling for Shockwave games. There are many websites where you can play AAA-games (Quake1-3, Half Life, RtCW, Deus Ex, Doom, Warcraft, etc.), but you need Shockwave. I remember the discussion when Apple switched to Intel. A year after the switch there was still no Shockwave player for Intel Macs. People needed to launch Safari in Rosetta mode if they wanted to play a shockwave game or for viewing a shockwave web site. Here are a few links: http://www.shockwave3d.com/ http://www.shockwave.com/home.jsp http://necromanthus.com/Games/ShockWave/quake3.html http://necromanthus.com/Games/ShockWave/quake.html http://necromanthus.com/main.html With regards.

I don't believe my eyes. Am I finally seeing a NATIVE version of Shockwave for the Intel Mac's? Adobe, I am truly at a loss for words. Thank you for ultimately gracing us with support for the Shockwave player. Though some may smite you for releasing it over 2 years after Intel Macs became all the rage, I shall not join amongst them.

I've downloaded the new installer and tested the player on: http://www.itma.vt.edu/tech/shockwave.htm and it seems to work fine. Many thanks!!!

Getting the same error, 10.5.2 on a MacBook Pro. I'm looking forward to the next update for this product.

I'm very happy to see this. I'm a teacher and many educational websites use Shockwave. Unfortunately I haven't found a site where this works like it's supposed to. I get this message: Director Player Error This application requires and Xtra (Text) that either does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure the appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras folder(s).

It's about time. My MacBook was waiting.

FINALLY! :D

Why no UB, we've waited long enough now!

Intel Version PLEASE!!!!!!! A) To run in Rosetta the browser has to run in Rosetta as well, pain in the neck B)Shockwave content slows to a crawl under rosetta! Please Adobe, hear our plea!

Please, an intel version one day...

Installed without problems on a PPC Mac and checked out at the installation test. A whack of permissions had to be corrected after installing.

Macromedia is allways improving their products, including the free media player (though it improves too much frequently $$$). Anyway, SWF (and drc) is a free technology to enjoy. You choose to enjoy it or not. If you thing it is much KB, then ask the flash/director developer to fix it... You get what you pay for ;-) Kudos to Macromedia!

Great crap, Shockwave is the Web standard for mindless webdesigners. Great idea to slow internet. The plugin works but Flash sites 5ucks.

This WILL install on macs with just OS X, even if they can't boot OS 9. Installed on my 15" Alu no problems, much faster than v8. Safari > Help > Installed Plugins

Will NOT install on newer Macs without OS 9 installed.

This plugin has never given me trouble. The reason I am post is to laugh at the phrase "leading web browsers". Um, actually, those are the WORST web browsers now. IE isn't even being updated for Mac OS!

your games are great
