HTML5 News?

While Developers are investing lots and lots and lots and lots of time in pointless AI tweaks etc etc, GvG remains a complete and unadulterated shambles, around recalc, as it has done for what is years now.

The final hope for us that play GvG is that HTML5 fixes the lag issues. For me, it will be the difference between me packing the game in or continuing to play.

I know we was told "1st half of 2018" but can we actually nail that date down yet. I mean, it appears that the devs have plenty of time on their hands recently...

I'm not playing GvG so what I say might be total nonsense, but isn't the purpose of HTML5 to finally get rid of flash? It doesn't affect server-side calculations at all, does it?

You'd of thought so.

However, people have been led to believe by support that the update to html5 will remedy the issues people find with lag.

I will say that on my laptop at home which is a bog standard i3, it is pretty uncomfortable playing, whatever the time of day however my PC at work which is an all singing all dancing, alienware gaming PC literally flies so clearly, the resource hog that Flash is, is having a BIG impact that only a powerful computer can help with.

If you restart your computer before recalc, delete cookies in your browser etc, it is ok but it is soon dragged back down again.

I am also interested in this. I am waiting for an HTML server to start a new game world, since I'll be playing on a Linux most of the time; whose browsers do not support Flash.

While I'm very much waiting for the HTML5 version, I am currently playing from a Linux machine. And even though flash is slow as a snail, it works.

Volunteers from the Beta community were asked yesterday for HTML5 trials; I volunteered as one and my Beta city is now running on HTML5 and not Flash. They only have it working on Chrome and Opera at the moment. Once feedback from the Beta community comes in I'm sure all Beta players will move across and then Live servers following that.

Firefox is only the #4 browser with about a 7% market percentage. Opera does not even make the list on its own, but is listed under "Others" with a market percentage of less than 1%.

You can type "HTML5 browser test" in your browser and you will get results how your browser perform at HTML5. You also have option to compare your results with other browsers results and find the best solution for you. Not trolling, this one is serious :)

Thanks, will try.
Edit: I'm surprised how bad Firefox become over time :(
I'm using it from the time when there was no Chrome and Opera had no functionality.

I use Puffin browser on mobile devices (Android OS) and so far I managed to play PC version of the gane on my cellphone and on tablet too. I tested Puffin on HTML5 and results were even better that Opera and others (which are high ranked too), so I will continue using Puffin once HTML5 start to be applied.

Haven't tried it myself, but have seen numerous posts of players claiming Puffin is extreemely slow.

Depends on device I guess. I am warlike player and I use it in GvG at reset time and it works fine (except when server is overloaded but in these situations game stuck no matter on device or browser - but that vould be discussed widely on separate thread). All in all, Puffin works nice for me and won't change it in decent time.

Speaking of HTML5... It was refreshing to return to flash. I didn't even remember that the game could be so fast. On a not so high-end machine, HTML5 speeds are horrible. On a high-end machine I didn't care, but when I had to return because of my other machine (why is this setting a per city, and not a per browser?), even there I noticed that flash is a lot faster.
