This is still an ongoing process, but I just wanted to update everyone that the just released v1.0.0-b187 includes a large performance improvement for the outside portion of the game.

We're continuing to make big performance improvements in the game. A big memory issue will be resolved in version b75.

We have more performance improvements planned, and this will always be an area we're working on. In the meantime, using the Chrome browser will provide, by far, the best game experience.

Merging this ticket into the master performance ticket.

A significant number of performance updates have been released over the pass three weeks. More are planned.

Please let us know if you continue to have this problem. In the meantime, we're going to merge this ticket into the master performance ticket.

Merging into performance updates.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

This is a challenging issue since the root cause is game performance, which we're frequently making improvements to.

We're going to merge this ticket into the master performance ticket. We have future updates planned that should eventually solve this problem entirely.

Most of the memory leaks appear to now be closed. Memory usage over 15 minutes was very steady.

We're going to close this ticket for now. We have future performance improvements planned, but the prior issues with memory should be fixed.

If you continue to have any other problems, don't hesitate to create another ticket.

MM - that's been the problem with the screen jumping - none of the 3 races are really tough once you know where the chips are

I don't know if my comment is related to the camera tracking issue or not, but I had a problem completing race 1 because I'd click on the chip (or at least think I had) but I guess I hadn't really clicked on the right spot to touch the chip and I'd walk past them. I presume I'd get better with practice. But with the idea that missions get harder as you go along, I wouldn't think race 1 should be that tough to complete.

It also depends what kind of device/computer you are trying to run the game on. If you are running an older computer or one with fairly low specs, the game won't perform as well just as with any other graphically intense program. Be assured that we are putting a lot of working into improving performance and need beta tester feedback like this to get there.

Sorry, the lag shouldn't be bad at all. Is the running at a low framerate? Do you have the game open in multiple windows by any chance?

Please let us know if it it continues to happen after refreshing the game.

The last update had a few camera updates that should help in the races. Are you noticing any difference?

If not, we can adjust camera tracking a little more.

I'm using chrome and I can literally watch my memory usage climb as I have the casino game open - it doesn't climb with poker and bc wars.

@Luke: Nice explanation. I think it also depends on which browser you use it. Chrome does garbage collection (=cleaning the memory from unused items) very well. Some other browsers leaves things in it even when no longer in use. For now I'd also recommend using Chrome and refresh the page when you feel it getting slower.

Thank you for the feedback, Penn.

Unfortunately, there appears to be a misunderstanding about what a memory leak is and the problems it causes. Memory leaks only mean game objects sit in your computer's memory.

That means that a leak does not necessarily slow the game down, because they may not actually be doing anything. If your available memory fills up, then the game starts to slow down.

Memory leaks are common with games in development. Every day we're improving performance and fixing leaks. We've done several tests, and if your computer has at least 2 Gigabytes of memory, it will take at least 30 minutes of gameplay before your computer slows down.

We're fixing all the issues, but in the meantime please refresh the game every hour. That will clear all memory and start the game fresh.

Please allow us the time to fix the issues. We receive several tickets a day about this, and sometimes the language in the tickets borders on abusive. And so far the game is 100% free for everyone. So please, be patient with us while we work on this.

How old is your computer? Do you know what kind of specs it has? Please also note that we have a lot of performance improvements planned.
