Better Compatibility For Older Computers

I thought that this was a good idea for people with old computers. What I thought that could be is a skip button for cutscenes (such as the one at the beginning which is the time travel one), and a low power version. This will need less resources by being lowers detailed (in textures and quality of the sprites), and maybe less graphics in the game, or more repeating textures. This will open up the game up to lots more people. Also, almost all of the other popular flash based web games have this feature.

  • flash can do this automatically.

    try right clicking the game and setting the "quality" to "low".

  • Setting quality to low was not enough for my old computer. It is just coincidence but I came into a new computer during the short time the game has been testing-- the old computer could not cache or load fast enough to play. I run linux:-- the same current stable version on the old and new machine; the same wireless network card. The new computer runs the game fine.

  • Rothko, I dual-boot with Linux and can't play in Ubuntu, the motion is all jerky and super slow, but the game is fine in Windows with the same hardware. I think it's to do with the Linux version of Flash.

  • Hi fluor, I use kubuntu but I imagine it would be same for you. Did you update to the beta pre-release libflashplayer.so like the glitch blog says to do? I'm not much of a geek but I had to delete the stable ubuntu release libflashplayer.so file and copy the beta file into /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/.

    [edited by me on 5/1/10 to correct the name of the directory to "flashplugin-installer"(NOT flashplayer-installer) and the name of the file to "libflashplayer.so"(NOT flashplayer.so)]

  • running the flash beta in safari gave me optimal performance in OS X. much, much faster than in any other browser.

  • I didn't update to the RC because I don't know what to do with the .so and I've been too busy(lazy) to figure it out/deal with it ;) I'll do it before the next test and see how that goes. Curiously, in 64bit Windows 7, the current version is working better than the RC!
