Hello, Punisher.


To answer your questions: no, you cannot move to the old engine. At the moment we are in the process of moving more and more players to the new one, at the moment it's over 10k people and there will be more. That said, I can see you have posted in this thread. Please check the original post there, follow the advice. Also, make sure to update your browser to the latest possible version. If you do not use Google Chrome, try that. Failing everything else, please post here with the info I request in the first post the thread.

Dimitri,all my players who play on new engline(not by their will) are very mad and complain about new engine.

a lot players will leave game because of it.

ps. if you move my city on new engine,i will stop to play game!!!

i think the problems is in your devs.this is 2D game.we dont need to see fire and smoke on new engine if some city are sieged,without those and others useless game details they slowing down game even more.we dont need shiny details,we need game to be faster on with no lags,nothing more.

Dimitri,   I have always received honest feedback from you. much appreciated! I have only 1 question. When moderators say old engine will be removed from server completely (due to forced change : flash to webgl). What is the "target date" you have set to make this mission critical transition. if only 10k players currently on new engine it is absolutely vital to ensure bugs & issues are improved significantly or we are all at risk of total chaos once entire community is switched over. can you please provide target date. thank you.

Aristotle ... that would be incredibly unfair to players like me that have been moved already !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They need to move everyone to the new server and make it a fair and even game.

Leaving the poor smucks that got forced to move and halting the rest would be amazingly unfair.

Archons!


To answer some of the questions and concerns that were raised here:


1) Remember to update your software (browser, GPU drivers) to the latest possible version. At the moment we believe the latest version of Google Chrome works the best with the WebGL Engine;

2) Disable Adobe Flash when playing Sparta. You can find instructions here.

3) Make sure WebGL is Supported on your browser. Follow this link to test.

4) Test the game's performance with and without Hardware Acceleration.

5) If all else fails and you have an operation system that is 64-bit you can download the Plarium Desktop App from the homepage of the Portal.


Those of you who are experiencing strange fuzzy text and general lack of sharpness disable Adobe Flash and try to use your browser's zoom function. I suspect this has something to do with screen resolution and will be checking in with the Devs.


To answer Aristotle, we do not have a set target date just yet as Devs will be working on the reported issues/bugs to fix it. But, ideally, it will not take too long. However, there will be no other major intakes for a little while indeed as we will be monitoring the situation and fixing problems that arise.

dimitri all that does not change the facts there are lots of errors, looks awful and people get forced to play an experimental server without aproval.


imagine a doctor prescribing a experiemental drug without telling because they need to see if it works.... the steps made by plarium are exactily the same.


all that points  you mention had been done and still same points and errors are still there. because its not our computers, its not our screen ... please be serious, most of us we are not kids, illiterate or stupid :) 


So please .... recognise the big mistake, help us to show devs/plarium what they are doing worng, ebfore this looks like a cementery

it does not 

dimitry have u try it? so you know what we talk about?


it would be good you test it, so you understand what we say :)


and again belive me its not the scree
I am not saying the screen itself is the reason, I suspect that resolution of the game does not adjust to the resolution of the screen. I also do not have any issues with it myself, so my information has to come from the players who reported it in the first place. If you have any factual evidence on the matter, I will be more than happy to review it.

I have been told by members that signed up to be beta testers that they have the ability to switch back to the flash servers.


(Some tried to do beta test - but gave up in frustration - they seem to think they were/are able to disable the beta test)


Is this a feature we can suggest to the devs - something we can implement for people force migrated to the new server?

Give them the same options of the test subjects?  (they are now testers - if they like it or not)

This is the best post here so far.

I support this 100%

If this is set up for old beta testers then it should be easy to add as a feature for people moved to the new server.

The work is already done.

We have lost our Hegemon and two other coalition members on Server 1 since they were migrated.  Any suggestions?


Only one message (IM) in all that time from the Hegemon saying he can't get the game to load.

The silence and lack of response from Plarium is quite deafening.

Is it possible to migrate my account to the new server?


I have loved this game, i have invested a lot of both time and money into it.  I hate the idea of leaving it.

But i am loosing friends i game with and players from my coalition, i would like to see what it is we are dealing with over on the other server.

I am starting to think Sparta is indeed a sinking ship.


The people i am loosing have computers that are very capable - i honestly can not believe each and every one is having issues with their hardware.

100% of the people i know that have been migrated are having these issues.  If they can not be resolved quickly, or if they can not be migrated back until the new server is fit for use, We WILL BE LOOSING THEM.


I need to see what they are dealing with, and if there is solutions to help with this mess.

I need to know if Sparta is a sinking ship, and if i need to try and gather the people i game with and find something new.

These decisions would be vastly easier if i could actually see what is going on in the test server.
