Adobe support forums are, quite frankly, terrible. Nobody fucking responds on that site with any helpful information. There is no phone number I can call for Flash Player support, either, which really ticks me off. I would much rather go through the hassle of calling than sitting and pressing the refresh key.

Obviously you guys all know about my issue (if not, here is a rundown of it) and it's really just ticking me off that I can't seem to find any help about this. The most help that I've gotten is from Mateusz himself, and he suggested that there's a problem with my RAM in relation to Adobe Flash Player. But he doesn't have the time to take a closer look. And I've brought this point up to the Flash boards and no one has been responsive at all.

Can't I just play a nice Submachine game with out seeing lagging screens? Can't my laptop, which should be faster than my old Vista, be able to handle these Flash application files? I don't want to have to wait for a screen to stutter in FUCKING SUBMACHINE 1. Or Sub0. Sub8 and Sub9, yes, I understand that there are a couple screens where the load time would be significantly more. But now it's just ridiculous, having to wait for six seconds to traverse a screen in the Temple. It's never been this bad. I don't WANT to have to watch the fucking Sub1 Basement, of all games, stutter in fullscreen before my eyes.

That's the thing. This issue is affecting ALL the games, not just the later heavy-duty ones. Something I've noticed, however: cutscenes/picking up and placing items are normal speed. The big thing is just the act of switching between screens or something like growing a karmic plant or something like that. But I'm fucking fed up with this.

Something's screwed up: whether it's my computer, or Adobe Flash Player, or something else. But I'm not getting answers. And I've browsed through about 50 webpages trying to find solutions. Cleared caches, uninstalling and reinstalling, just nothing works.

I don't know, I don't see what's so wrong about trying to play these games made by this great artist. I've been able to play them fine before and now, since getting this laptop, they're all slow. How am I going to be able to play Sub10? There's no conceivable way that I will be able to enjoy it unless this is fixed. I just want to play the game and not have to worry about things like this. And not have to plague all of you with help. At least sometimes you guys listen (not Adobe at all).

So. Is there ANYONE here who has ANY information on how to help me? Even if you personally don't know, do you know someone I can contact?

Jatsko wrote:2) When putting the game in regular 300x300 the lag decreases noticeably. But it still appears in some of the smaller games. CPU usually spikes around 40% whenever I hit a particularly big screen, which is pretty high. I'll figure out a way to lower the screen res as my Vista ran it fine in 1440x900. Hopefully the quality won't decrease too much, though I'm willing to give some of that up. I'll get back to you and tell you what works and what doesn't.
