  If that is download it is pretty low. I get 36 and even that is lower than most.

  That's a skip and jump up from dial up Creamer. I suggest checking what is available at what price in your area and step your speed up.

  Here's mine and it's worse than creamers, but the game plays okay for me.

  EDIT 05/03/2014 : Just had my internet upgraded to BT's basic infinity package and my speed is now...

  it's quite slow but still plenty to handle this game.

  anything from 40mg upwards.

  this is down to the specs of your pc and nothing to do with your internet connection.

  the fan only comes on to cool down the processor etc, so if it starts working overtime when you play this game and watch videos...just kill watching vids or buy a pc with a bigger/better processor & 4-8gb of  RAM.

  If you've had your laptop for a while creamer, make sure the cooling vents are not blocked with fluff etc.

  ty scott.   silly question again  do i just blast the vents with a can of compresed air when the comp is switched off?   it was a 2nd hand laptop which im very happy with had no issues so far. so it could be that right enough.  ty for reply.   graham

  It might be a good idea to do a google search to find out how to do it correctly creamer. I wouldn't want to give you any incorrect information which would make things worse, but a can of compressed air and switching off the laptop are a good start, good luck.

  Creamer, you internet speed is a little low but as several have said, it is sufficient for a good meter. I was having the same problem with my meter as you  but I have a great internet speed (Cable). Recently, I purchased a new laptop that has seemed to fix 99 percent of my meter problems. After much research I purchased a MSI GT 70 laptop that has 12 ram of which 3 is dedicated. Since getting this computer my cpu usages has gone from 35 to 75 percent while playing wgt down to 1-8. I really believe cpu usage has a great deal to do with this flash based game. I am NOT a computer person. Just someone who has done a little research. The new computer is pretty costly but I was able to justify it because of my work. I hope this helps.
