I have the same issues..... this is the first time in many many many years i need to use this forum.....

just blindly reinstalling does not help.
uninstalling (removing all user settings)>reboot>installing does not work.

I'm forced to use firefox or chrome atm....

Not even a single tab works...(speeddial, options, downloads, extentions etc etc) all opera does is display a loading tab... or more then 1 loading tab

like i said it must be the opera update causing this problem because i reinstalled windows the day before and everything was working the next day i did the same and nothing was working anymore... even without installing any update....

Hi,
can you please try to run Opera, via command line parameters as

launcher.exe --with-feature:"mse-h264-support"=off

and let us know if the issue still exist? launcher.exe exist in the installation folder.

YES... that did the trick.

So it might be a graphics card issue. I got a reply to my bug report asking what graphics card I'm using, so I'm curious. What about others? I have an ATI Radeon HD 3600

The problem seems specific to users of Windows N.

Well that's just plain weird. N should be nothing but Windows without the media player.

...which Opera uses to get MSE H264 playback support :). Hence the flag. There'll be a fix for this very, very soon.

So where are the developers asking questions, requesting reports or logs?
I moan and bitch a lot about blink Opera, but I am happy to help you guys out in every way I can to solve issues

Well,

thank you all for pinpoiting the problem and finding a fix.

I used the backup installation but the launch parameters seem to be a more elegant solution.

Thanks again and have a nice day!

Ok, this comment is making me looking really like dork. But you all know how refreshing a tab u have open for days works. U kinda forget to press it again, just the moment before you click reply.

Alrigh, I added the --with-feature:"mse-h264-support"=off command to the launcher. And yes, it works as I am now writing from my "normal" opera version.

BUT, why is my flash player turned off?
Why can't I disable "use html5 player" in Youtube?
Why is under flags
MSE & H.264 support - still the option "standard (activated)" selected?
and WHY can't I ctrl+tab between my open tabs?

Version: 30.0.1835.52 - Updates deactivated
Update-Stream: Stable
Betriebssystem: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64) (yes the N version)

And something else, how come I never had issues with this MSE-h264 setting? Cause I explicitly activated it via the flags menu and a few other that are semi-related to these things.

And yes, I will activate the update process again, to get to the newest version after I posted this.
fingers crossed that it all works out

EDIT: man, making paragraphs / passages here is sometimes really painful

Edit2: Updated to 30.0.1835.59, Opera only works with the added command to the launcher the aforementioned errors still persist.

This works for me

Had to test the work-around because it auto-updated again
