I have lost many games in the last month due to errors. Here are some recent steps to error-proof my game. (The car below seems error proof too.)
1. When attacking and when the clouds didn't open, I rebooted too soon or opened the game in a new tab. After I left the clouds behind, they would open while I was gone and I would forfeit. I would get a loss like the one Morbidchicken showed in my last post.
I used to count to 20 before leaving the clouds. Now, I wait a full minute before giving up on the clouds. Again and again, they open long after I expected. Those forfeits do not happen anymore.
2. When attacking, I get impatient with deployments. To speed the attack, I often click the mouse as fast as possible (to start I am sending warriors against a golem - I need speed). This would cause the screen to freeze. I could never learn this lesson.
Now, when I deploy attackers, I click nice and slow. Once in awhile, the screen will freeze later in the attack but by that time I am not clicking and I have won 50% or more. No harm done.
3. My Firefox was very unstable for a very long time. The operating system would ask me "Do you want to stop this script." If that happens during attack it's a loss.
Today, I went to the Firefox Add-ons tab. I added Flash (no update - just add) and the browser stabilized. Great outcome!
4. We Outliers play on Kong and I never had Kong+, which removes advertisements. My browser (Chrome) has been very unstable. It shakes. It crashes. For some reason, Kong today awarded me one year of Kong+ for free. There is a huge difference in playing with Kong+.
I used to reboot the browser after every two attacks. After two browser reboots, I would have to reboot the computer itself. This was my only route to stability. Now with Kong+, I can play for hours without errors. I think the advertisements put a strain on Flash.
If I am correct, the instability in Jungle Wars is not a developer problem, it is a Kong effect.
Your opinions welcome.
