I've been playing Gemcraft Chasing Shadows and I've been noticing that sometimes Flash is terrible no matter how many times I repeatedly clear my cache, and other times it works fine enough to play the game on adaptive settings with little in the way of lag while having a video play. I'm thus curious if there could be some sort of factor like site traffic that can affect game performance?
Hey @MartinFisher, time of day or site traffic shouldn't have any impact on game performance for Gemcraft: Chasing Shadows. There is very minimal server connectivity for the game; just purchases and cloud saving (if you're logged in). The vast majority of the game is running locally. CS can be pretty intensive, and Flash is Flash.
I actually discovered something that might be a problem too. Recently found out Flash has it's own seperate cache from the browser cache, so seeing if emptying this does the trick I was looking for. Will update thread status after a game here.
