View Full Version : Weird typing "lag" when using MS Edge
Sometimes it can take 30 seconds or so for my keyboard input to even appear. Kind of annoying tbh.
Happened after the W10 creator update.
Yes cleared cookies, yes even reinstalled Edge, yes I have flash enabled (wonder why this game still hasn't moved away from that tbh ...)
i get that from edge ie and chrome since a week before event ended.
its like server cannot keep up.
or memory lag from our own end.
I get that on edge or chrome. Its nothing new for me and is severe lag related.

Does this input lag only occur from within the window/tab you're playing TSO in, or does it occur on other websites within the same browser?

It only occurs in TO.. have no problems on other websites.. or even this forum.

Could you test another browser like Chrome or Firefox?
I get it too when running a lot of stuff on the Surface. And I play via Steam and don't use chrome anywhere else so it's the one and only thing for that browser. When it does that, I suggest checking how muhc memory is being used, I find TSO starts gobbling over a 1Gb RAM on such occasions
Only in TSO and only the chat or the Trade Office. Everything else works fine.

Could you test another browser and see if this still occurs?

This has just started for me too when using edge. Have tried Chrome and no issue there. Happens on both chat typing and when typing on forum, like now.
Had no issue until today when win10 did a large update. Does not happen on my non-updated laptop.....

This already known from Dec. 2016, Windows creator update will block flash, and they did, and Microsoft no more support flash, so, don't wait any solution from Microsoft side, BB still think the "white-list" will solve this issue, the problem is bigger than what they suggest, but well, I told you, before, a lot of fun will come :)
Already I mentioned this issue before 2 months here (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/33944-HTML5-version-of-the-game-(dropping-Flash)?p=327378&viewfull=1#post327378)

Could you provide me with your specs, such as OS version, flash version number and browser version number? Thanks!
mine wanished a couple a days ago.
and i am sure its memory related to own pc`s config.
tested on all browsers.
The browser vanished?

its definitely the W10 creators update (or whatever its called). After its installed getting a typed sentence to appear in chat box and getting it sent takes over a minute. During that time i cant do anything in the game window. But everything i do during that minute is somehow stored so after the sentence is finally complete a lot of random clicking and moving occurs.
So if i want to play i cant chat..

I still i have the same problem.. And it doesnt matter if i use chrome or edge. And either if flash and everything else have been cleared and computer just reloaded.
Lags when on my own island, but when on adventures there is nothing.. So to write anything i need to go to an adventure and write. Otherwise the simplest text takes ages to write

Could you possibly try another PC/device?

tried with firefox, chatting works fine. only problem is that the game doesnt. so if i want to say something i have to log out on edge, login with firefox and im good. then i want to build something or send an explorer etc logout on firefox login on edge again.

What exactly is the matter with the game while using Firefox?

In firefox every action except writing takes over 3 seconds to complete. Writing is instant.
Found a way to make letters that i have typed appear at almost normal rate in Edge. Noone is ever going to guess right what it is though.
Letters appear when i move or click my mouse! Mouse clicking= 1 letter. Mouse moving= about .2sec/letter. mouse untouched= first letter appears then second letter in about 10 sec and then nothing. In all cases the game doesnt allow any other input until the text has appeared and is sent. But the input is "recorded" and "played back" after the text has been sent. Normal length sentence the playback is about 5-10 more seconds the game is unresponsive.
Feel like some ancient craftsman having to do manual labor to get letters appear on a paper.

This is very strange indeed - it may be something corrupt with the installation. I would advise uninstalling Edge completely and then reinstall it with the latest update.

Agreed .... this time 25 mins max , compared with 2 hours plus on chrome/firefox
