  That's a prob with maxthon you can't access the flash settings. its built in .

  yupps but it uses a stable version which is why folks find it's great to play wgt.

  tbe

   

  Not trying to be contradictory but I was having problems with my meter being skippier than I liked using the older Flash Version installed with Maxthon3, when I first tried it. Since it wouldn't update to the latest version of flash, I took a suggestion from the forums and back doored the latest Adobe flash version .271 into my Maxthon3. Now I have the smoothest meter I have ever had playing wgt, even in full screen mode.

  I do take into consideration that every browser will work differently on different computers so what I did may not work for everyone. 

  LOL...HDBANGER,,,I got the same chuckle with a head shake to boot...Guess she forgot to look at what version her flash is in game mode. I'll bet 2 to 1 it isn't .268 unless she back doored that one in.

  Courntney...It is really great that you are being helpful and all. I commend you for that but please get your information correct before you post. What happens with incorrect information is people try out based on your information and if it doesn't work for them then automatically it becomes something must be wrong with WGT. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, I do research before I post something to try to get the information as correct as I can. That coupled with the fact I have been dealing with computers & software since 1975, even with that guess what, I still don't know everything and rely on others for answers.

  How do you back door the maxthon3 to put in the newer version of flash? I would love to change to a better version as well.My meter is jumpy, but I do like the browser to a point. Would appreciate the help. Thanks

  I was using Chrome for a long time, and it got so bad that I had to try something. I took the advise that THEBIGEASY707 made in a different post and gave Maxthon3 a try. I must say that I am very impressed. Meter is smooth most of the time, and the built in full screen mode is awesome, you can chat in the built in full screen mode. To exit the full screen, point to the top center of the screen and a drop-down will appear. Dont use the full screen mode in the game, use the one that is part of the Maxthon3 browser. Very happy so far.

  One thing I like is the ability to move the bottom of the game window up and down to match it with my home made putter scale. Oh and if you don't like the look of it, there are several different skins to change to.

  Is there an echo in here?  lol    I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt, maybe we posted at the same time.   Anyways, I'm not picking on you, I just pointed out something most people jumping browsers would not know about the diff of flash.  On the topic of putterpal/tape, wouldn't it be a lot easier to just remake the homemade pal/tape one time, and use maxthons awesome full screen mode, that way you don't have to resize your window every game. I also dig the built in adhunter, not having to install anything 3rd party to get a clean page and smooth meter has been a win/win..

  @Lonnie...First thing you can do is upgrade to the newer 3.4 Beta version that will have Adobe Flash .270 instead of the newer .271. I don't think there's really much difference except Adobe did a fix for Firefox in the newer one I believe. The Beta can be found here.

  http://forum.maxthon.com/viewthread.php?tid=82935&extra=page%3D1

  If you want to back door it into your current version then 1st go to Adobe and download the new version after that follow these directions.

   

  Using your Explorer folder go to  C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\MACROMED\FLASH

  In the flash folder Flash copy this file.

  NPSWF32_11_3_300_271.dll

  then go to: C:\program Files (x86)\Maxthon3\Core\Webkit\Npplugins  and paste the file there.

  In the Npplugins folder delete the existing file NPSWF32.dll 

  Then it should be .271

   

  Also for everyone if you want to not view those pesky ads during game load you can block them;

  In the Status Bar at the bottom of the browser check these two items.

  1. Enable Ad Hunter for this site

  2. Subscribe to Ad Hunter Rules

  If anyone knows the most about this browser it would be THEBIGEASY707 as like BMF5 he is the one I found out about it and have gotten some helpful info. Also don't overlook the forums, there is a wealth of info there. Hence where I found out about Ad Blocking & back dooring the newer Flash versions.

  Seriously?  LOL  For what? I been using maxthon for a week now, as has a ton of people on this board. I take back the benefit of the doubt, your post count trolling and posting threads other people have already posted, like you didn't know.. Your good humor, and kind of sad.

  She tries to help people and you constantly put her down. You must be the rudest person on this forum. Keep on posting Courtney, ignore the bully.
