Last months it became very hard to play this game.
Every time BB introduces a change in the game they also introduce many new bugs, memory leaks and strange lags never experienced before.

This game became slower and slower with every update. Please do not start to troll with suggestions like: clear your cache, try a different browser or change a computer because I did all that and most ppl i talked to have same problem and have did all that. We cleared our caches and we tried different browsers… I usually use two PCs, one has 8core CPU paired with 32gb of ram and Linux as OS while the 2nd one is an 4 core cpu paired with 16gb of ram and using a Windows 7 OS. So no issues/excuse about my hardware or software stack :))))

There was a LAG bug in this game from the beginning, when a 2nd player join the adventure the generals need more time to exit the garrison during attacks/move etc. That known bug is not a very big problem as u just have to take care of that fixed 2-3 seconds of delay generals have.

The NEW BUG is way more annoying and do not allow us to play this game as we played it for years. When a 2nd player joins the game - entire game starts to freeze. Map freezes randomly, u can't click on garrisons or any game element because everything is frozen and compleatley unplayable.
When u try to scroll the map game also freezes for a second – two, sometimes more. Freeze time is random but never longer than 5 seconds...
If u put the game on a 2nd monitor and just looking at it, u will see that the game sometime freezes without player interaction. The generals walking stops, every animation stops, the "New quest" dancing sing also freezes... everything is not responsive for that 1-5 seconds.
Sometimes u have an entire minute without frozen screen and if u send attacks/blocks then u will be happy, but sometimes this freeze repeats and repeats for minutes making me mad and starting to swear incapable BB team, so when u have hiccups remember me :P :))))

We all know Flash is a death technology and there is not much interest in it by developers so I can't blame developers directly, but someone have to take responsibility for all the issues in production.
There was multiple suggestions to make this game(client side) HTML5/javascript instead of this redundant and archaic technology but every time we got a message from the MOD that there is no plans for that.

So what? What is the future of this game?
Can we expect the game working in 2020? 2025?
Does this game even have a future?

+1 for random freezes, I have brand new game rig laptop and still have same freezing issues, 2 laptops 1 PC with awesome specs still I get a lot of freezes, not only when a player join adventure, when I receive email, when I get notification from geos, from barracks or provision, when the buff applied specially zone buff, everything become freeze cause and lag cause, before 3 months or more, I was able to stay in game with 3 hours or even 6 hours without refresh, now I have to refresh every 30 minutes to get memory leak out and reduce the freezes.

Not to mention most website finish loading here less than 5 seconds, I can watch Full HP YouTube without cutting, I can download at rate 8 mega "bytes" with 50Mbps connection, but loading hoem page of the settlers takes almost 30 seconds, loading game take 1 - 2 minutes, loading land if cache cleared need 3 minutes and I need to refresh 1 more time or twice to fix the island layout.

It is become really annoying last 2 months.

And chrome make game worst if you switch between windows, because the chrome stop flash after a few seconds and it is not allow any flash player to work at all in background, as a not supported plugin, in Firefox the flash player even worst, and game already have many issues with it.

I think BB must decide to go HTML5 or OpenGL with external client if they want to keep this game long life.

Firefox this year will block flash player as well.

BTW, do you know there is a "movement to rid the world of the Flash Player plugin"? it is not mean only from browser, it will be removed from PC even.

Flash will not be dead soon, but for sure it will be for long term plan, Adobe start to give tools to step away from flash.

Just one simple question. Who configured your systems?
