  Sanco-have you checked to make sure WGT is allowed 100kb of Flash storage?

   

  Hi Jim, yes that too. In fact I ususally change it to 1mb, although it isn't needed I know.

  Someone has told me, during a game where I got frozen, to untick the loop in flash. I didn't try that yet, but I guess I have always had it ticked before and never had issues, so why change it?

  What confuses me the most is the fact that I have the same setup, same pc, same everything really and I haven't installed anything new on this pc and things have changed. So much so that I have hardly been able to finish a multi player game and really not enjoying the experience at present.  

  This happens on solo games as well BTW.

  Turning off loop is well worth trying. With it off everything loads faster. Profiles load especially fast from the game client window with loop off. The only problem is that it doesn't stay off. If you close the window that you unchecked loop from the next time you load a page loop is back on and has to be turned off again. So far I have not bee able to find a way to permanently disable it. 

  One possible reason for the change is that there have been 2 or 3 flash updates since April or May. Many browsers automatically download and install flash updates. So you might have a version of flash that isn't quite compatible with your PC or your version of flash might be corrupt.

  You can get around this by using Comodo Dragon-it doesn't update automatically.

  Hi Jim ans BTBS, I have used comodo for over a year now for that very reason and it is just like Jim says and also has proven extremely stable for this game.

  Born, when the issue appeared my flash version was still 10.1 and after trying all sorts I had unistalled it completely and reinstalled it, but that did not improve things. Then I downloaded the 10.3 which I believe it is the latest version - still the same, or at least it was for a few days and at the time of my last post. 

  Then yesterday a miracle!  Without me changing anything else on my pc the issue did not recur all day!!!   However 2  players I was playing against, in different groups and games, had the same issue...goes around like the the yelolow fever it would seem.

  No shite, Pete.

  This is ridiculous.  WGTicon, you haven't answered anything we haven't already done or tried...getting booted from the game with an extremely fast 'Net connection makes ZERO SENSE, and it is getting very fooking annoying.

   

  Last year we b*tched about the meter.  Looks like that is finally fixed.  This year we get to b*tch about the kicks from excellent games.

  Fix it.
