I'm not sure what is causing everyone's problems, but my meter, and game itself has been fine...until a day ago. I use Chrome (pepperflash disabled). It got so bad, I couldn't play. I checked, and found that Chrome and Adobe Flash Player updated ( I had both auto-updates turned off, or so I thought). I did a system restore, to the day before the updates, and the meter and game are back to working great, for now, anyway.
