Is anyone having problems getting into the game? It seems that once I get pass the loading screen where it says "loading character", I get a black screen.

Can someone look into this and figure out what is wrong?

If I remembered correctly, I deleted the files in the Temp file in the MyVMK Launch app to see if it loads faster.

Update: reinstalled the application and got the same result...
Update 2: uninstalled and reinstalled adobe shockwave but same result...
Update 3: reinstalled the third time around and got the same result
Update 4: it turned out that I was using the schools wifi network that prohibits online gaming.

From the way I see it, I should quit playing until @Amy figures out a way to make myvmk playable in any operating platform; preferably HTML 5

If you're installing and/or uninstalling Adobe Shockwave on native Mac OS X, that's really funny. This application bundle includes everything you need in order to play the game. The Adobe Shockwave that you install and/or uninstall on Mac OS X has nothing to do with the Adobe Shockwave that is pre-installed in the application bundle. You don't even need to have Adobe Shockwave installed on native Mac OS X, so uninstall it if you do.

Also, here are the steps to delete the cache when MyVMK Launcher becomes slow:
Go > Go to Folder...
Type '/Applications/MyVMK Launcher.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/users/myvmk/Temp' without quotes
Edit > Select All
File > Move to Trash

What version of Mac OS X are you running? Also, try re-downloading the application and replacing the MyVMK Launcher that is currently in your Applications folder with the one from the Disk Image.

Well, I run on OSX 10.11.6 which is considered as El Capitan. I already uninstalled the shockwave that was already on my Mac. The method of removing the temp was what I did and from how frustrated I was, I already deleted the application. Sorry if that sounded funny; I'm not really avid with computer programming.

I'm away from my computer at the moment so I can't perform any of those methods.
