Stormfall is supposed to be RTS is it not?

Is there ever going to be  a time when this game actually runs on real time? It is described as an MMORTS.  2 out of 3 castles can see a weor skin the other cannot, even after a refresh of game. 10 nukes down the tube. Tell me again why I spend money here?

Most of that depends on the computer and or the internet connection or both And the other part depends on the amount of activity that is going on at the time when running hunts I find it uses up more bandwidth than without that combined with other windows browsers and programs you maybe running can have a negative effect also. 

Additionally there is a Lag report area to can use  it's the tab just over the monthly code

I hope this helps you

Hi Wesley thanks for the reply, I do click it regularly. No hunts were running, same computer, identical times, on the identical connection. And no I did not load into my other 2 after the failed drop, I run all 3 concurrently, makes chores go faster.

It would have to do with state refreshes between SF cloud servers and the game client as everything else is identical and running from the same source. They are not even in separate VM's. Now we have to use the PP client I can't see we are expected to reload game between each action, that would not be reasonable. The Weor shield was still unrendered 5 minutes post drop .

Its not your machine or your internet. Everyone gets the same problems regardless of whether they have a super computer or a dial up modem - lol.

This is not a hardware issue and has nothing to do with the perfomance of your machine or internet. It probably doesn't have anything to do with Plarium Play or any of the native softwars the app uses. 

The problem is flash. Flash player uses too many resources. This often results in overheating which causes your video cards and other hardwares. They were simply not disigned to run flash. Even the best GPU will fail to run flash. Flash elements are natively wonky and don't perfom well. 

As things stand, I don't know why Plarium still insist on a flash game. Lets hope that the money that was poured into Plarium Mega purse this past couple of days due to Woer units is enough to lure them into porting the game into Html5.

Some Players run more than one game on their computers even now. I won't say how to do it as it may cause issues with game preformace. On computers that have not enough spare memory or to players that are on a metered internet connection.

But it can and is done by some players

I know how to do it. FYI I use sandboxy. 

Most of our league therefore knows how to do it. But only a couple of ppl actually bother. I also shared with other leagues but very few of them use it either.

When I make a comment, it's not "made up" or "just a guess" its based on significant facts and evidence.

Yeah you can run multiple instances of the game but it takes a pretty good comp to get reasonable performance on them.

So when I said I play one game per computer at a time? 

is it a fact when you said  "As do virtually all players, since the app came in. "

When those that use Sandboxy can play more than one game at a time per computer?

Asking for a friend !

You don't need a sandbox to play multiple games. You can do it by triggering the app into tinking its hasn't opened. very simple. 

Did you prove that this is true. The game does get wonky on Friday, just after Brawl. This is common for players in Central Europe. I have seen many of my league mates complain about this. Latency and lags can't be due to computers. Maybe if you have a large cache or bad network, or if your memory is full. But seldom hardware issue. 


Quick fix, port the game. Or get servers where players always comaplain, like in Central Europe.

As per the prior posts I don;t make this stuff up.

I have two computers which are significantly different in specs. They both encounter the same kind of problems the OP pointed out with the same frequency.

Not only that I log other people's computers sometimes  via "Anytime". Those have the same issue. 

And on top of that I talk to a lot of people and they reported having the same issues for the last 7 years, despite having a vast array of different computers.

All the veteran players know there are loads of things where the client doesn't refresh unless something happenes in game. Take hamlets showing up after collection. You have to do something like run a hunt to keep getting the game to refresh and show changes in a timely basis. Having troops arrive somewhere or return to your castle is a great way to get the game to update.

It's the way the game is built and how the original devs decided to manage the communications between the server and the client. Got zero to do with your hardware whatsoever.

This has been a problem since the beginning of the game.

I don't know why you have to argue that the sky is green when we all know it's blue. Argue against all facts and evidence. We all know this stuff, what is the point in refusing to acknowledge it?

You said everyone has the same  problems  they don't because I don't seem to be having the same problems.
