Toch nog een zomerevent? :D
Ik ben heel benieuwd!!

[Qwerty]

Ik ook, als t maar geen kleurplaat is :)
Heel fijn dat je de melding dat gs aan de max. zit uit kunt zetten.

A zone buff cannot be used twice anymore when switching zones quickly.
Kan me herinneren dat het vroeger met gewone buffs ook kon, maar dit wist ik niet eens, nog een week de tijd om er ge/misbruik van te maken.

[gekewe]

mooie verbeteringen :)
Hoe lang gaat t event duren?

[BB_Sious]

Dear settlers,

Additional details about the event will be published at the event start. Please stay tuned.

Ziet eruit als een hoop verbeteringen (waarvan ik van een aantal niet wist dat er een probleem was) en ik kijk erg uit naar het event,..... ben heel benieuwd :-)

[Kolkkie]

Wat er van mij ook wel gefixt mag worden is de enorme lag die ontstaat wanneer je een LS hebt uitgenodigd in je avontuur. Ineens is er een lag van 10 seconden. Mega irritant. Vroeger was dit niet, dus het moet kunnen.

[loredr]

Ik wil alleen graag weten of je de or's nodig hebt voor event. Lijkt me wel handig om te weten, zeker voor de lagere levels want die or's zijn namelijk wel tijdje onderweg;

Mag je willen, maar: "Meer details zullen gepubliceerd worden aan de start van het evenement." :p

[tien1957]

In de changelog staat o.a.: Een onderscheppingsgebied in het avontuur "Het Dappere Kleermakertje" is aangepast.
Welk/waar onderscheppingsgebied?

Hi tien1957,

It is a is also known as the "aggro-zone". It is the radius of interception, that turns red, around camps.

I think the question was more about which specific zone was adjusted (around which specific camp), not about what a interception/ radius zone is.

Sinds de herstart van het spel ben ik de chatschermen kwijt....
Hebben meer mensen daar last van? (en heb al opnieuw opgestart, cache geleegd etc)

[Hawkward_old]

Probeer het spel af te sluiten en opnieuw op te starten zonder van tabblad te veranderen of een ander scherm te raadplegen. Dat zou het probleem moeten oplossen.

[Gratzky]

Check!
gelukt :-)

Dear players,

As you know, players using Chrome to play the game are experiencing game freezes when switching tabs in their browser.

We are aware of the issue and these are the known facts so far:

The freezing is caused by Chrome itself
Other Flash based browser games are facing exactly the same issue

We can suggest the following, as a workaround:

Use the zoom function of the browser (via menu, or CTRL+Wheel)
Resize the window (These two workarounds will revalidate the whole page, which will also "unfreeze" the game)
Try another browser


US Moderators noticed that disabling the browser feature called "Background Tabs Throttling" solves the issue with the game freezing when using multiple tabs. You can also give this a try.
To disable this feature, you may follow this tutorial:
http://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-disable-background-tabs-throttling-feature-in-google-chrome-and-opera-web-browsers/

Instructions for Google Chrome Web Browser:

1. Open Google Chrome web browser and type chrome://flags/ in addressbar and press Enter. It'll open the advanced configuration page.

2. Now press "Ctrl+F" keys together to launch find box and type throttling in the find box.

It'll directly go to following option:

Throttle expensive background timers Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android
Enables intervention to limit CPU usage of background timers to 1%. #expensive-background-timer-throttling

http://media.askvg.com/articles/images6/Disable_Background_Tabs_Throttling_Google_Chrome.p ng

3. If you want to disable this new feature, select Disabled option from the drop-down box. If you want to enable this feature, select Enabled option from the drop-down box.

4. Click on "Relaunch Now" button and it'll restart Google Chrome web browser.

Instructions for Opera Web Browser:

1. Launch Opera web browser and open its hidden secret advanced configuration page using opera://flags command in addressbar.

2. Now click inside "Search experiments" text box and type throttling. It'll show following options in the result:

Background tab throttling Mac, Windows, Linux
Throttle timers in background tabs. #background-tab-throttling

Throttle expensive background timers Mac, Windows, Linux
Enables intervention to limit CPU usage of background timers to 1%. #expensive-background-timer-throttling

http://media.askvg.com/articles/images6/Disable_Background_Tabs_Throttling_Opera.png

3. If you want to disable background tabs throttling feature, select Disabled option from the drop-down box of both options. If you want to enable this feature, select Enabled option from the drop-down box of both options.

4. Opera will show you a message "Your changes will take effect the next time you relaunch Opera" along with a button to relaunch Opera. Click on the "Relaunch Now" button to restart Opera web browser.

That's it. With the help of the above mentioned steps, you'll be able to turn on/off background tabs throttling feature in Google Chrome and Opera web browsers.

PS: You can also disable background tabs throttling feature in Google Chrome and Opera web browsers by appending --disable-background-timer-throttling parameter at the end of the string present in Target text box of their shortcut's properties.

BB_Sious

Bedankt voor de oplossing, maar ik durf het niet aan: (opera)

WAARSCHUWING Deze experimentele functies kunnen op elk moment worden aangepast, vastlopen of verdwijnen. We bieden geen enkele garantie aangaande wat er gebeurt als je een van deze experimenten inschakelt: je browser kan zelfs spontaan in brand vliegen. Alle gekheid op een stokje, het is mogelijk dat alle gegevens in je browser worden gewist, of dat je veiligheid en privacy op onverwachte manieren risico lopen. Experimenten die je inschakelt, worden ingeschakeld voor alle gebruikers van deze browser. Let dus goed op wat je doet.


Thank you for the solution, but I dont dare trying it: (opera)

WARNING These experimental features can be modified, stuck or disappear at any time. We do not guarantee you what happens when you enable one of these experiments: your browser may even burn down spontaneously. Kidding, but it's possible that all data in your browser is deleted, or that your security and privacy may be at risk all of a sudden. Experiments you enable will be enabled for all users of this browser. So take note of what you are doing.

I provided the translation myself (used google translate primarily + some tweaking), so it might be listed different or be partly incorrect...

Uhm, ik heb die 'experimentele' zooi UItgezet. Het lijkt nu beter te lopen.

Dus als het zou worden aangepast, verwijderd of vastlopen... het staat uit hoor :p

Dear players,

Here is an additional workaround for the "Chrome freeze":

Activate the In-game sound

Players who had the in-game sound activated all the time reported less to no lag and around 90% of the German TSO players confirmed this. The theory is, lag and freezes happen due to the inactivity of the tab and having the in-game sound active simulate activity thus the tab will not deactivate. So, if you have the in-game sound deactivated, please activate it and test the game stability for the next 24 hours.

Hope this helps.

BB_Sious
