RE: stopping the grid dots on the down swing
We have done substantial work to smooth the meter for lower end machines. Part of the issue was when the dots were moving on the grid it could max out your PC's resources and cause a stutter in the meter. So to make it better we stop all flash objects on the down swing except for the meter itself. thanks for understanding and I hope you appreciate the change
Never even noticed any difference regarding grid dots. Thanks for at least attempting to improve meter 'stutters' though.

Regarding the required upgrade for flash player: We looked at the user submitted reports and the majority of the people crashing or disconnecting were using a old version of flash. We apologize for asking you to upgrade but it should make the overall experience better. thanks for understanding.
(plus the old version of flash have security faults and should not be used)
Previously I'd used an ancient flash version and had a workaround that allowed me to do so. Logging in yesterday morning I was obviously asked to update flash - I refused to and messed around with my old settings.
Finally I just decided to go with the flow and downloaded a stand alone (minus the pep flash plug in) bang-up-to-date version and................ all is well with meter etc! Graphics look super and loading is fine.
Have to say I don't agree with the pop up stating players need to update their flash version to be able to play - surely that's an individual's choice? and yes, I'm fully aware of possible security issues etc.
My only teensy weensy wee gripe is that when I mute the game invite sound whilst on the game client the wee speaker icon doesn't turn red..... Shocking state of affairs !!!!
I refuse to play till you lot fix it................ lmao
