It is so laggy it is close to unplayable.

In the castle i can move around fairly normally and do stuff but on the world map it takes forever to do anything, the mouse doesn't want to go where i want it to

If the main game also becomes HTML5 only i will quit the game.

And yes i have the newest version of Chrome and the newest version of Safari and neither work well

@Scandy (GB1) and @arun254 (IN1) could you contact support on the issues you are having and they can investigate?

[5097647] Scandy (GB1) [GB1] :: Jan. 30, 2020, 2:23 p.m.
I've submitted an e-mail to them

For me the game runs great on internet explorer with flash. Very smooth. Fast loading. Although some of the features have a delay. Like changing build items or equipment pieces. The only reason I use IE or flash is to play this game.


Internet explorer with HTML is laggy. Loads slowly for everything. And is generally no fun.


Chrome with flash I just tried and I get an endless loop of loading screen. In the past it was always slower than internet explorer anyways. .


Chrome with HTML is slightly better than IE HTML. But still it loads slow. Jerky motions of the mouse pointer. The world map takes a very long time to load. If this version was improved even a little bit I would not mind playing on it.

If you like being dropped every five minutes, by all means keep using html5. Went to the beyond the horizon event (only able to do so using html5) and kept getting dropped. Absolutely ridiculous. But then, that's what GGE does best. 

And contacting support is a waste of time.

GGE need to do homework before doing anything new its now become a regular problem for us whenever a new update comes

It makes them aware of the problem and then they can prioritise fixes for it.

Providing an example might be more helpful.

I have been noticing this every time I've tried to play Horizons

have a look at how many people run the game on flash compared to HTML, that will give you an insight to how well HTML is working compared to flash.  As correct me if i am wrong but the game defaulted to HTML if people are runnign flash they have had to go in and manually change it over, so they obviously believe there was a good reason to do that.

I personally chose to run it in flash as it doesnt run anywhere near as well in HTML and never has, I havent tried it recently i have to admit, but it used to be shockingly bad.

Today it's white screens when you spy or hit a target. Can't see anything at all.

I honestly see almost no difference between those two :neutral: It could get laggy sometimes before and it still gets laggy sometimes now Nothing is perfect so I guess that is to be expected. There'll always be some flaws that we can complain about.

I cannot play horizon in html5 with puffin browser. I bought the pro version. Anyone with any advice?


[5098541] bernhardt (US1) [US1] :: Feb. 4, 2020, 5:17 a.m.
Needs more work, lots more work.  HTML is laggy, very, very laggy.  How is it that other HTML games work just fine on the same computer but GGE is so laggy?  I suggest GGE take some HTML programming lessons.

ok.. so gge's Amy replied to my technical questions and suggested I 'clear my cache'  DOH!

if players want to understand why they are having problems with the HTML5 version of GGE you only have to read the article in PCWorld -  HTML5 is designed to be an "Operating System Killer" so that Microsift and Apple will no longer be able to control the security & preferences of your computing experience.

you can read more on the pcworld com website  / article/165653/html5_os_killer.html

Dear Crom Cruach. How can you write that about support with a straight face? And how many examples need to be given in regards to supriyo771184' comments? Why not scroll through this chat and find out what players write when something new rolls out? In fact, this chatroom is nothing more than spam advertising for gge instead of really being helpful.

i liked horizon and outer's until now. i can't move around in my castle to collect the res and can't get the map. so i can't attack. it's just a blank screen. was that way all day after i 1st went in. if you keep them html5. i wont play them anymore. it's not worth my time or effort. other things that use html5 work just fine for me so i know it's on gge. you really need to figure things out before bringing them to us

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's how HTML5 works for me. It's been so for over 20 hours now. So no outers for me.
