Memory issues

[DeletedUser653]

Be very careful with Torch Browser. It looks to be a brouser which comes bundled with ads and this is never a good idea IMHO

If you decide to try it make sure you do custom install and as Grumpy said above untick all the boxes which change your pc settings
Be attentive and never install software that you don’t know or trust, do a search on it before downloading

if removing be careful to check all brousers you have for Torch add ons/extensions which the Torch brouser can install, so after removing torch make sure you check each brouser you use for any torch add ons or extensions and remove these too.

yes i saw the previous posts ref torch.ive downloaded the bare minimum and disabled everything else.i am only using it to play the game.i am going to keep firefox as my default as i much prefer it to anything else ive tried for day to day use.
so far apart from a couple of hangups due to poor internet connection its been fine.

the latest reply to my ticket is that apparently firefox did something on an update mon/tues that interferes with player.
they gave me a fix that you could go in and do yourself but i am not comfortable doing it as i am a computer user only and dont think i am knowledgeable enough to risk it.

This is the WORK AROUND that was found
Please note
Of course, this is a solution if you really wish to play the game in Firefox. However, please understand that if you follow the below steps, it is at your own risk. An easier solution would be to switch browsers – e.g. Google Chrome has no issues with this particular problem

Mozilla Firefox released a new version a few days ago, which can interfere quite strongly with at least the latest version of Flash. This can result in loading issues and general performance problems. The problem is that Mozilla enabled a feature that causes this in their latest version. There is a way to solve it on the player side. These are the steps we can take to circumvent the problem (at least for now, let’s hope it lasts):

* In Firefox, type the following in the URL bar and hit enter: about:config
* You will get a warning message that you should not proceed unless you know what you’re doing – accept this and continue
* Search for “dom.ipc.plugins.asyncdrawing.enabled”
* This setting has value “true” by default (so: it’s enabled)
* In order to fix the problem, we must disable this. We can do this by double-clicking on it
* Once the value is off (“false”), we can reload the game (or forum), and performance should be better again.

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS AN AT YOUR OWN RISK SOLUTION

Flash is dead switch to html5 instead of giving us these use at own risk fixes

 

[DeletedUser108047]

In firefox - the new update and its relationship to flash - you can turn off a security option on the plugin page from within your browser. It makes the performance slightly better but it is not a fix.

Chrome is a bit better but there are some cross browser issues such that some options available in Firefox are not available in Chrome.

This fix does seem to help a lot - but only once the city is loaded and drawn on screen. That first stage still takes 3-4 minutes to complete!

I have found that Chrome is no better than anything else.

 

[DeletedUser98451]

Support came through for me on this issue and a Mod with the patience of a saint walked me through the fix. I switched from firefox and am now on chrome with increased flash storage and all the problems have disappeared. At the moment the game is playing as well as it ever has, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Cleared my cache... all my temp files...
Installed latest flash...
Updated Firefox...
Usually I play 3 worlds at a time... and doing that it is *unusable* after about 3-5 minutes.

I just sat... over a period or five minutes... FOE open... but not touching it.

And Flash looks like this in task manager.

Kinda looks symptomatic of a memory leak...

It has just hit 1.8 gig... and all I've done is typed in here...
No other flash content running *anywhere*.

So... it's any of Firefox, Flash... or FOE.
Apparently... Whatever it is... it is broken!

Any idea when FOE it is going to get usable again?

e.g. Google Chrome has no issues with this particular problem

twomsuk, that is clearly and ABSOLUTELY untrue.

I run Google Chrome on my PC and (as I reported on my ticket) Chrome crashed last night.

On my ticket I told you upfront I had emptied my cache, ran cleaners and scanners - and still couldn't log in on various browers including Chrome!!

The advice you gave me ?? Empty your cache, and Chrome has no problems.

Well guess what ?? Your advice was useless, if you had bothered to actually read my ticket, rather than assuming, and giving a completely irrelevant response.

I have nothing else running on Chrome, and continuously, I cant see my roads, as they disappear, Chrome is regularly taking up a significant amount of memory, as numerous people have reported.

I lost goods production and FPs, because Inno is failing to recognise the problem.

Performance is shocking.. can't even load on some platforms ((((

 

[DeletedUser108240]

It seems this have been fixed. Right now I am playing and the game is faster and more responsive than I ever remember Thank you Inno.

 

[DeletedUser15501]

What happened today? I'm using Waterfox and the game has suddenly become unplayable, my PC is hanging up with RAM usage going crazy. The mobile app is also constantly crashing...

 

[DeletedUser109762]

Well, i am really pleased for you, but sadly it is not fixed, today has been as laggy as ever.
Constantly rebooting, as memory leakage gradually slows down game.

 

[DeletedUser107059]

Fwiw. In my testing the problem is significantly less (though certainly there) in FF run in safe mode for those who don't want to change browser or tamper with settings...

 

[DeletedUser98530]

I solved the problem with old version of FireFox.

 

[mrbeef]

I reverted back to 46.01 of Waterfox and Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0 and no memory leaks at all now

 

[DeletedUser109762]

Seems as though Inno have fixed this problem CPU usage from my "FoE" browser is minimal.

Thanks !!

 

[DeletedUser109762]

Sorry, take that back, misread my CPU usage - same old today

 

[eeyore]

Good morning. I, too, have major memory "leakage".

Inno blame flash or firefox, but as it is only happening with inno games (including elvenar), it must be inno's game algorithms.
