I have already stated several times on these forums that my flash version has not changed in at least 5 months. During that time, I initially had no "speed-changing" dots, then I had dots on amphetemines, then I have had, like many others, dots changing speed. No changes at my end.
My machine is reasonably high end, use it for video editing, again, I have my machine highly optimized. I mean highly optimized.
So what I am hearing from some is that we should change flash versions that once worked fine, when WGT makes changes, as my setup worked just fine for quite a long time until more recently.
It's kind of analogous to buying a new car with normal tyres that drives just fine on your typical tar road. Then council introduces road surfaces that are made of 12 inch spiky nails. You drive on the new road and of course you get a flat tyre. You suggest to council to fix the roads, but they say to you "no, there is nothing wrong with our roads. You need to downgrade your car to one with wooden tyres".
... and for the record: using high power plan. Not straight out of the tin either. Have all relevant power savings measures turned off in the advanced settings. All usb selective suspend settings: off. All "allow computer to turn device off to save power" in device manager: off..
All C-states disabled in BIOS. Machine properly tweaked for optimum SSD performance. That includes a custom task that runs a proper SSD optimisation (Win 8 will defrag SSD's by accident, after a month or so, that most people are not aware of).
All unnecessary services disabled or set to manual via services.msc
Anyway, all this is irrelevant. Had no issues under this setup / browser / flash combination, wgt made changes, now have problems..
I have also said elesewhere that running adobe scout delivered around 4 to 12 fps, with a target of around 25 or 30 fps, from memory. So my Nvidia GTX970 isn't enough to run WGT on a 50Mbit connection, but I have no problems running Davinci Resolve? Go and download Davinci Resolve and see how you go. Don't blame me when your machine freezes..
Am tired of being blamed for what is so clearly an issue caused by recent wgt code changes. And they have admitted it! Search the forums and you will find that another "feature" recently introduced by wgt has been acknowledged as causing the dots issue.
