I doth thinkith many of you do not understand how a server sided game works.
Bottom line is rather simple. A system is set up on the server side, whether good or bad, EVERYONE receives the same opportunity to receive the same identical information. The ONLY difference is each end users computer system. If you're playing on a 5 year old laptop, then you cannot expect good results,or rather the same results of someone with a more powerful system, and that is the end users sole fault.
I agree that it seems unfair, but the reality is that no game or server or admin etc etc can accommodate every end users needs, nor should they. As ANY game or admin would rightfully do, they would suggest what they know has performed best under the conditions they tested, thats not to say it will work for you. I be willing to put money on the fact that 90% of computers have porn related issues that do not show up in malware or anti-virus protection programs, over time a system becomes soo cluttered IE: Registry that it does the best it can, which in reality, is far less than its potential.
For EVERY tweak WGT makes to accommodate players, theres always someone else that the tweak made things potentially worse for. If they have tweaked flash to lower CPU demand on our end, kudos to them. And again, compatibility solely sits with the end user. Most people have zero clue how a computer works, they turn it on and expect it to make coffee and eggs while magically picking tomorrows winning lotto tickets. If your knowledge ends at the on/off button, then you might wish to explore your options. Regardless of anyones browser and flash, you can EASILY go online and test all of your computers software compatibles, which would easily allow an end user to tweak their own system to their desired needs, rather simple process TBO.
FLASH is a SIMPLE program. If you cruise the web, you're using it, just like JAVA, although not the same, you need both. WGT offers a platform, a standard in which to operate WITH. Just like any other website.
Side note: A lot of todays programs do not work well with older systems, even some as new as 2-3 years old. Technology advancement handicaps as many as it helps. Take DIRECTX 11 for example, many new computers cant run it, yet, its todays newest and greatest tec, soon to be replaced with another upgrade, same with Flash, and browsers. CHROME is a nice platform, FOR SOME PEOPLE, and for others it can be the biggest pos browser. IE, same thing (uuugh-junk)
TEST YOUR COMPUTER FOR COMPATIBILITY. Most problems arise there. Also, and this is EXTREMELY COMMON, and the main reason for compatibility issues....you up date your system incorrectly, leaving behind old information in your REG, this will cause major issues. Your system will most likely never inform you of this, but you can easily clean it up. Look into your system, google how to find/identify multiple softwares...promise you, if sont correctly, you will see a vast difference in performance, may not fix your specific issues, but it will greatly help.
If WGT claimed the problem was with Flash, during the update, that in of itself has zero bearing on to do with the games programming.Two COMPLETELY different things. Flash does not modify a gaming program,period. Flash enables you to see what you're intended to see via the gaming program. Thats a rather simple way of putting it, but it is accurate. IF after the corrections have been made and people still have issues, while others do not, those are the people that have end user issues.
