[how-to] Hardware acceleration

[hegearon 0]

Seeing the confusion about how to enable the hardware acceleration feature of Tanki Online which was added recently, I decided to make a How-To guide about it. After reading this and observing the attached pictures, even the novice users should be able to activate (or deactivate) the new features.

 

Step 1: Updating Flash Player

 

1. Visit the following page: Check Flash Player version.

2. View the text the red arrow is pointing at. If it doesn't begin with "11" you'll need to update your version of Flash Player. Only proceed to {3.} if you have to update.

3. Visit the Adobe website and grab a copy of the newest Flash Player.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

 

Step 2a: Enabling "Hardware Acceleration"

 

1. Start loading Tanki Online.

2. While loading, open the context menu (right-click anywhere in the window).

3. Select (click on) the top option from the menu.

4. In the popup window click on the left-most tab.

5. Check the "Enable hardware acceleration" option.

6. Reload the game and you're ready to go.

 

Step 2b: Disabling "Hardware Acceleration"

 

1. Follow the first four steps of {Step 2a: Enabling "Hardware Acceleration"}.

2. Uncheck the "Enable hardware acceleration" option.

3. Reload the page and you can play without hardware acceleration.

Yes, but I still do not quite understand which graphic cards I need. (auto-detect failed on my computer)

Without them, TankiOnline still runs a bit slow during heavy battles.
