Processor load

Hi, guys.
Good effort with this game, but there is one big issue: the processor load. I tried it under various browsers and the result is the same: in 2 minutes of running the processor goes to 100% of load and stays there. The fans are working like mad.

Screen Shot 2012-05-24 at 6.24.36 PM.jpg

The image shows the processor load map after the start of the game. I cannot see any reason for that, as there are no serious calculations happening - no real time 3-D rendering, no fancy geometry or transformations. They are just sequences of bitmaps.

The game is basically unusable as one cannot keep it running for more than 5 min without fear of permanently damaging the computer.
I myself have been an AS3 developer for the past 10+ years with projects surpassing 1.5 million lines of code. I can assure you it is not the Flash player that is causing it - it is a wrongly written code.

Please fix it.

Tested on 17" MacBookPro (8GB of RAM) Flash Player 11.2 Debug Version

P.S. And a lot of errors... which I can attribute to the Beta version.

I did not find any memory leaks as such, but, mind, I cannot run it for log enough )))

The way the project is structured and the way the files are loaded is quite poor. Each image is loaded twice (see attachement),

no RSLs, no proper caching, no components. To me it looks like a Flash application some 6-7 years ago. Ever thought of re-structuring & re-compiling it in Flex?

No wonder some hot heads say HTML5 is our future.

Just tested World Golf Tour (Flash) which is way more complex in graphics and calculations - the processor was steady at 22-25% as it should be.

Contemporise, people.

It funny how same things seem to become important for several ppl at te same time. I just yesterday was checking processor load and memory usage. From what i noticed at a time memory load is more or less fixed (doesnt take 1gb+ as it did before) but processor is constantly running at 90-95%. As i understand devs are working on performance problem and hope they fix it soon.

Franky, I was not able to see what you need the tweens for. All motions are simple. Simple ENTER_FRAME event can cure lots of headaches there.

The search option through this forum would have pulled up a thread about this discussion. This is something I have trouble with as well, and it does not matter which browser either, but the devs do know about it, and I am positive they are trying to fix it.

Well. The new version. The processor is still overloaded - no fix there. The number of errors has increased dramatically:

After the errors, some buildings stop responding to clicks, some respond from the third-fourth attempt.

Yes, you have change the number of points and some interface presentations, but it did not get any better - I think, it is much worse.

Yes, I've noticed that they are not as responsive to clicks as prior to this last updated version. However, if you allow it to focus on the particular building then it's responsive on the first try. You have to wait for it to highlight that particular building. Although, as stated it was much more responsive, or the area of response for each building was much more liberal.

This has been answered on page 1 by Community Manager Checkered Jester.

I went to Chrome but it is being extremely laggy and crashing often.
I moved back to Firefox about a week ago and I can practically run the game all day with only 1 or 2 refreshes (if even that).

As for this not being 'fixed' yet:

Remember this is a Beta and Blacksmith has announced a lot of new stuff is coming, so things need to stay in the scaffolds, which causes things to be slow.
"That old excuse again, how long is this game going to stay in Beta?"
Blacksmith also posted a long while ago that INNOgames' games usually stay in beta for about a year.

With a project as big as this, it might be a bit longer, since major game changing features are still coming.
How'd it look if this game was announced officially released, while still making game changing features and having numerous bugs that have to be tended to?
It can't be taken out of beta before it's out of beta..
