Ok, I'm having trouble reopening this bug. Verified still m not working on 20000101908 on Mac. Do not believe this is dupe of general shockwave not installing properly becuase when I use Full NO PING SW works ok in general .

I beleive you can get the Full No Ping installer for SW8.0 at our alternates site: http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ I suggest keeping this bug open until Ping & install issues get fixed. Thanks! Kelly

I was wrong about where you can get the Full no ping installer will put it up on server and let you know soon!
Just tried this again on Mac and Windows with a latest nightly of Mozilla (trunk) which includes the patch to bug 54186. Similar results on both platforms: 3D groove installs and loads okay. Game loads and looks like it's about to play. On Mac, loading stays at 0% but on Windows loading goes all the way to 100%. Animation play but you can't play the game. There could possibly be a problem with my setup as I didn't use the installer, simply copied over the DLL's to the plugins folder. Does anyone else see my results? I think this might be really hard to debug as there is something getting messed up inside the plugin. Seeking help from Macromedia. Kelly, the installer issue is bug 57012.
Keywords: 4xp
Severity: normal → blocker
Escalating severity to blocker as this bug is blocking Macromedia QA from going through their test suite and possibly identifying additional bugs we may yet be unaware of.
The following comments were sent today (12/4) from Peter Grandmaison to Peter L in an email. They detail a fix for this movie and Photohunt. After adding if (stream->end == 0xffffffff) stream->end = 0; if (stream->lastmodified) stream->lastmodified = 0x3936e4d9; to NPP_NewStream(), photohunt and tankwars works (the stream->end change was from friday's changes to get netlingo working, so I am pretty certain it is unessential towards getting these two movies working). Content is relying on streams of unknown length having an end of zero (and not 0xffffffff). And you aren't correctly reporting the lastmodified, which is breaking some existing content ( although, strictly speaking, it is correct to pass 0 if you don't know ) where all other browsers have reported the lastmodified correctly. So a resolution is at hand for netlingo, tankwars and photohunt.
See bug 58134 for a patch to fix this.

I just tried this on today's trunk ( since this was fixed on the trunk a while ago), the game loads but I still cannot play the game. The keyboard does not work at all. I thought that bug 58957 which was fixed on the trunk recently would allow me to play this game..but.. :(. Also, I cannot verify this bug on the branch unless 58947 is fixed on the branch.
Verified on windows branch/trunk with SW 8.5. However on mac trunk/ branch, I cannot play the game using keyboard once it has loaded. Logged bug 65884 for that. Marking this VERIFIED since this bug was about 'game not loading' which now works.
