Hi guys and girls. I'm new here and I have a performance issue that is so random and rare I don't really know if anyone will be able to help me, but maybe somebody will know.
I've posted a game to Newgrounds: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/665818
The game is built using Haxe-Flixel (it's OpenFL-based). and maybe that's part of the weirdness. I'm not sure how popular that is in here....
Now check this out:
The game is supposed to have fluid action and run at high FPS, and is primitive enough to achieve that, but on my PC (a powerful machine) the game runs slow and choppy when it's on Newgrounds.com inside Firefox browser.
The SWF runs smooth in any other situation. It runs smooth in Chrome and IE, and it runs smoothly even in Firefox if ran not inside Newgrounds (a page with just the game swf itself).
I've tried running it on a much weaker PC, on Newgrounds, in Firefox, thinking it may fail, but it worked smoothly!! It's really random.
Some people have left reviews about the game's choppiness so I knew it happened to others but the saddest thing was seeing Youtube videos of people who play my game, and a few of them had like 1 FPS like the shittiest performance possible and an unplayable game. For others it ran smoothly.
Does anyone know anything about this?
