HD graphics, slow browser version, black screen, loading mushroom

[burningcherry]

None of the versions work, the game fails to load at various stages eating 10% of RAM and 85% of CPU during the process. Browser&system&graphics data:

Please try something different:

Do NOT use your normal server URL! Go to a different server you do not play, then add /?version=old. Then import your main character....so that only 1 account is in account management.

did the following
private mode on firefox and chrome.
server url from internaciol 1 whit the /?version=old , and import my main character.

cpu still got 25/30% usage.
ram got 600 to 800MB of usage. this on the post tab.

while loading the game the cpu usage can get to 80% almost and ram usage keeps around 900MB.

using firefox in normal mode not in private mode like i did above
while loading the game the cpu usage gets to 80% too, but the ram usage goes to 1.5gb
and while playing cpu usage usualy keeps 30%+ and ram usage stays at 1.5gb

This might help for some.

Clear your internet cache/temp and cookies for anything related to S&F.

Seems too simple, but I did this and the game now runs almost buttery smooth

Downside is, you have to import and log in with your character/characters again.

Nothing got better over the last few days, none of the bypasses worked for me, and even if they did, I should not be required to apply them or my CPU usage is above 80%. Until this gets fixed, the game is next to unplayable for technical reasons.

Are we going to see a fix this weekend with the event Leander?

[bl4ckwoolf]

our at least is anny news about this problem?

[Leander]

It is difficult to reproduce. None of the team has this problem. Does the workaround work? (private mode, incognito mode)

[Gully]

Those workarounds don't work for everybody.

Moreover workarounds can not be the solution for more than a couple of days if this bug is causing a lot of players not being able to play the game at all

[Leander]

Does disabling HD graphics work? What happens if you use private mode/incognito mode, add /?version=old or /?version=test ? Is the game still slow?

Do you use Steam? Is the performance better there?

[Gully]

the only way to play with sd graphics is adding /?version=old but still is slow, the pc overheats/the cpu consumption is crazy

we just want to play the game as before Leander, we already posted in the previous pages all the details, nothing changed from then

[burningcherry]

Never been using HD graphics on this hardware. Incognito mode doesn't help, none of the extra versions help. Posted my hardware, system and browser above.

Works on Windows though IIRC.

ok then,
isnt only my pc that starts to overheat when shakes is open.

[Leander]

Is your performance better in the Steam version?

[Gully]

I dont and i cant play on the steam version.

Today i tried to play with the "normal" version (without the version=old in the link) and the game is still unplayable

Are there any news? Are we gonna see a fix with the birthday update? If not, the "version=old" link will work with the -i hope- new content that will come with the update?
