--- Quote from: Flamanette on March 30, 2009, 06:13 AM --->>>>>To give you an idea: my wife uses a desktop to play VFK and I use a laptop. The laptop is around 2 years old and your basic $600 Presidents Day sale HP laptop (2GB ram) running Windows Vista (aka, memory hog). lol. The desktop is custom (I've been building my own desktops for years), and it's a 'screamer' (4GB ram) running Windows XP. My wife likes to use IE. Guess who is always crashing while playing VFK??? Yup. My wife on the screaming desktop! If she does a quest on VFK, she can't run 5 tabs simultaneously without crashing before completing it. I'm on a much slower computer using Firefox and ran 8 open tabs today...no problems. Again, I always hop right back in a queue when I get the prize, then log that player out and right back in again.<<<<<
Hey now wait just a minute there buster, :uhuh: we TRIED using your Firefox on the desktop......and the the crashing was worse if I am not mistaken!!!! :rofl1: So I will take my IE, and deal with my quest crashes!!
Funny thing is, I can have up to eight tabs open for simple things like the maze with no problem! Oh well.
I managed NOT to crash at all during the ride even yesterday; but later while doing the quests, I stopped counting at 3 crashes, sigh! At least it waits to the end of the quest, and I only have to go back on and do the last anwer....sigh.

lol...ok. let it be known that my desktop has always had...ahem...'issues'...with my better half. :lolp:
Making windows thinner: that could work...less image/animation to display on screen is always a good thing. You can also go to the bottom right of your IE browser and click the 'down arrow' button next to the magnifying glass which has "100%" next to it. Using the zoom options there, you can make the browser display things smaller...meaning less image that your computer has to draw on the screen. If you don't see that button on the bottom right of IE, go to your top browser menu (File, Edit, View, etc.). Click "view", then click "status bar". You should now see the down arrow and magnifying glass on the bottom right of your browser.
Opening multiple windows instead of multiple tabs: not sure if this reduces lag or memory load, but the benefit of doing things with multiple windows instead of multiple tabs is that if your browser does crash, typically only one offending window will go BOOM...the rest should still be intact. I'm too lazy to do that, so I do multiple tabs. :waveh:
Wendy: lol. That's too funny! .It has had that happen to her before, although I have not.
Pix: keep reporting. You're a tester and are supposed to report bugs. You also earned those prizes, so you shouldn't feel bad about requesting them. I know it's easy to say all that, but you should get what you deserve...VFK has NO problem at all with giving it to you. :)
On another note, some people (myself included) have had problems with Flash 10 in the past. Not sure if it's been fixed yet, but many of us have rolled back to Flash 9 and have had great success using it. If you're using Flash 10 and are having problems, it's worth a shot to roll back. I do know of at least one person now who has started using Flash 10 and they're loving it. Maybe it's been fixed. Dunno.
GL all...and keep us posted on whether you received unawarded prizes or not.

No that is why I kept telling people in my room during the ride event go back to add doh bee flash fine rofl.
I have not had any issues going back. But before I was freezing every few minutes with 10+. Ten maybe be fixed but its update is worse. Even ten was not a good for VFK as 9 is. So go back go way back to nine. Nine is your VFK friend!!!!
ScarlettPixie:
I may give up, Flame!
I sent three reports today! No reply.... :sos:
lisuhut:
Hi
Dont give up we must all keep on at them, i have reported five times today and i will keep on reporting until i get a reply.Apart from anything else it is rude of them not to reply.
We will get our prizes i am sure!

Hey Flame, my work computer (where I'll check into VFK every now and then, but never regularly ;) ) has Flash 10 on it (which we cannot change without Administrator's rights). I continue to have issues with VFK freezing up for a bit, even after I've cleared the cache. The computers we have are pretty new (changed over late last year), so I doubt the freezing is from memory issues with our computers. The freezing is quite prevalent in the mazes and in the games.
Plus, per the recommendations from King and Princess, I have Flash 9 on my desktop and laptop and I rarely have the freezing problem.
So, I don't believe all the problems VFK was experiencing with Flash 10 have been corrected yet.
Also, did anybody get a message this weekend to update your Adobe Flash Player (both 10 and 9) because they have a new security patch?? Anybody know how to do that with Flash 9? I looked on the Adobe website but couldn't figure out how to update Flash 9. Thanks!
