Hi there,

While playing Gemcraft Labyrinth, the game performance sometimes drops to 10% for a few seconds (between 5 and 30) then gets back to normal.

I am using Firefox 11.0 and Flashplayer 11.2 r202 on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 64bit.
I also tried the Chromium browser version 18.0.1025.151 with no change.

I don't think my PC is too slow because I have been playung this game for weeks without any problem until now. It is a AMD Athlon 64 X2 with 8 GB RAM.

As the login procedure has changed, I think there was an update in the game itself.

Dit anyone else encounter this problem too ?

Thanks,
John

Thanks for the reply.

I don't use WLAN and my internet connection is the same as I had before the problem occurred.

Thanks,
John

Which platform do you use ?

I know that the Linux version of FlashPlayer sometimes works different than Windows.

Thanks,
John

Yes, I hope so too, but I have just noticed that CPU load goes to 100% when the performance issue occurs.

It's me, the thread starter...

BTW ... some more (maybe useful) info ...

1) Before the problem occured, I could even watch videos on the second screen while playing. This makes me pretty sure that my PC is not too slow. But now, I have 100% CPU laod.

2) I mostly play with sound off (because of the video watching), but today I turned audio on. I noticed an audio delay of (estimated) 1/4 second. It already shows up at the start of the game, when the armorgames logo (with the two swords) is playing.


Thanks,
John
