Forums → Games → Gemcraft CS: best browser to play

I've never had a crash, I use chrome and linux.

I use firefox. I think the main source of lag are the ads that are almost attached to the game.

1) adblock is your friend
2) not, main source of lag is targetting and chainhitting 3k of monsters.

Ads can be a source of lag, as can having the kiwiirc running in another tab.

The biggest source of lag is having a couple thousand shots/sec tower trying to shoot everything in sight, though.

for me most stable and responisve to inputs is using the standalone flashplayer. Log into AG, goto GC:CS page and view the source code.
search for "flashvars", 2 line beneath the first occurence of "flashvars" ist the URL to the game, copy it, append a "?" and append the content of "flashvars". paste this into the open... dialog of the SA-flashplayer...

It's easy, just tried and works

im not good at explaining things properly but ill try:
Download the standalone flashplayer:

log into AG, go to GC:CS and view source code of the page:

search for flashvars

right click the link in "embed src" and copy link location and paste it into an editor an append a "?"
copy the value of param flashvars and paste it after the "?"
the result should look something like this

(all in one line, no break)

start the SA-player, click file->open and paste the whole thing. it should start GC:CS with access to your AG save file

you can also paste this link as url and enjoy fullscreen gemcraft

tom0815, thank you for the clear explanation and the screenshot. I was able to make GC:CS work in the SA-player on the first go. Being able to run the game in true fullscreen is a blessing (Thank you, too, psorek!).

If it wasn't for all of you bright people sharing your knowledge I'd still be straining my eyes somewhere around Wizard lvl 14.

This should be in the gemcraft sticky definitly

not working for me was this patched ? I'm not stupid either, the link looks exactly like yours

ctrl +/- (if not working click outside the gameframe)(ctrl 0 is reset)
F11
there is your "fullscreen"
works 4 almost all flash-based-programs...
sometimes the game doesnt expand with the borders...then rightklick in the gameframe and press increase size....if 2 big now press decrease size and it should fit the frame (no black background between outer-game-frame and the game itself)

YEAH! Thank you! Fullscreen! YES! Thanks alot!

Followed the instructions :

Downloaded standalone flash player
Did the cut and paste.
Got GC-CS2 to load into flash (without the ads - thanks) BUT;

It wouldn't give me access to my server saved game.

Any ideas?
