  Just purchased a new computer and I'm having all sorts of trouble with meter running way past ding line. Have tried all the different browsers, (like 15 of them) cleared all the cache and so on. Been playing since 2010 so I've seen all the suggestions in the forums and tried most of them. No answers. It's an Asus A4 6300, 3.7Ghz, 4GB DDR3, and Radeon 8370 HD graphics. My old Dell that was 7 years old ran the game better. LOL. Checked with a bunch of my teammates and it seems this happens to people who get new computers lately. Go figure. Any help would be greatley appreciated. Thanks

  Are there any other problems beside running past the ding? (e.g. stutter, occasionally slow then fast, once and a while super fast, etc.)

  Next question, honestly, how often does it do it (run past ding) ? 100% , 80%? 20%? etc.

  You have an AMD CPU with integrated graphics built in worth 59.99 can.

  Very deceptive to list the graphics under GPU as if it was separate from the CPU.

  Should be listed like this:

  Sorry, not a computer whiz kid, realize it's an integrated graphics card, but like my original post said, my 7 year old Dell with integrated graphics ran the meter perfectly.  To answer JF's question, not much stutter and it does it on almost every shot, even putting. Thanks.

  Every time someone in my family buys a new computer, they bring it to me and it takes 3-4 hrs to get all the unnecessary software removed, put the right software on it and tune it up....

  try running "msconfig" and shut down everything in the "startup" that doesn't say "system file", anti-virus, or what ever you think is important lol, 90% of it isn't...

  then click on the services and check "hide all microsoft" and do the same...

  that frees up a ;lot of resources, then go from there...

  you probably have a bigger computer screen than before?????

  if so you have to resize the game client page (bigger or smaller) untill you find a happy medium and remember the sreen size of game client....

  i had same problem but it now works for me ok...

  Thanks for the help FD, it helped a little, and I had completely forgot about doing that. Meter still seems to run past after clicking.

  Are you using a wireless mouse or wired mouse?

  That is often a symptom Chrome users get when they use the PepperFlash version of Adobe Flash Player instead of the Shockwave version.

  Disable this:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\36.0.1985.125\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll

  Enable this:

  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_14_0_0_145.dll

  WGT only supports 4 browsers.

  Want a smooth meter?

  I had a similar problem with a new comp a few years back. Oddly, the fix was just pure maintenance. I'd gotten a deal on a bit older machine, but still more than fast enough. The graphics driver was out of date. Got the latest and smooth as silk since. 

  I also learned my lesson and signed up for notifications of new drivers.

  This too. Wireless has too slow a reaction time.
