Been having problems with Flash and Chrome/Firefox where it completely froze my computer whenever I opened either browser.  Removed Chrome but persisted with Firefox, and found out had to remove the hardware acceleration.  Anyway that got the browser working and videos playing (no video would play before), now every single video around the world will play, but for some reason Gamespot videos won't, it doesn't even get past the age verification message.

 

Strangely if I try on internet explorer it works fine, but I don't really like explorer, so want it to work for Firefox.  Does anyone have a clue?

 

I have the most up to date versions of Firefox and Flash.

I can see other people have the same problem.  I will also add, that I don't have any adblock running, I turned off my virus checker, nothing seems to work.

 

It gets to the Little grey boxes (load screen) and just freezes.

Yeah I'm having the same problem.  I hope they get this fixed soon as I do like viewing content from gamesopt but recently had to go to IGN to get my fix.

Same problem here on Firefox and even on IE. Of course it started after the site was updated. I know the old site setup was old but at least it worked. Don't have any problems any place else with the player. Also I am not using Ad-Block so that workaround is not the issue either.
