Go Standalone Flash Player!

Go Standalone Flash Player! (SFP)

 

Hi Players,

 

Since I am a great tech kid... I am curious about every small thing in any computer application.

 

Similarly, in Tanki Online, I noticed that:

In Google Chrome: Tanki FPS says "60" but isn't as smooth and gives frame drops with good quality!

In Mozilla Firefox: Tanki FPS are good and frames are smooth but everything is blurred!

In Opera: Tanki FPS and quality are great but just switch between Full Screen and Window Mode, it Hangs!

 

But in Standalone Flash Player, I saw NO problems at all! Except it's not supported well.

If developers add even better support to Standalone Flash, many slowdown/lagging problems will easily be solved!

 

Basic problems of Standalone Flash Player:

 

No Direct Link for Servers!

 

There are special links for Standalone Flash (SFP in Short Form) which allow a player to directly enter RU Servers ONLY. This is annoying because when I play EN Servers and need to reload for any reason I lose my battle fund and crystals!

 

Before the update there were server links for EN Servers too, for example:

c29.tankionline.com is the link for RU 29.

c30.tankionline.com will be the link for EN1.

 

But now if I change to any server except RU ones I get a message "Server is unavailable because it's under maintenance".

 

So if you get a fatal error or a bug while you're on SFP and in a great battle or a gold box is coming, say Goodbye :(

 

NO QUIT Button!

 

When we need to quit the game, we simply press the cross button and confirm. In SFP, even after confirming, NOTHING HAPPENS!!

 

Because of this, after we cross off SFP, we are shown "Online" in our friends list for a long long time.

 

If we want to quit directly during a battle we cross our browser off. That, instantly makes us "Offline" in the Friends List. But in SFP, same problem - We're shown ONLINE. And IN the battle with our Score for 5 Minutes!

 

I won't want that... Seriously!

 

No Re-Enter Game Button!

 

Whenever we get a fatal error or our server connection is closed for whatever reason, we have a "Re Enter Game" button which instantly makes us re enter the game and continuing the game.

 

But in SFP, the button is there and doesn't work, just like the quit button, which is quite inconvenient.

 

This is a big problem for new players...

 

Major Advantages of Standalone Flash Player:

 

Reduced FPS Lags!

 

As compared to any other base of playing Tanki Online, I've noticed that Standalone Flash Player gives the fastest framerate during any kind of gameplay.

 

I get 60 FPS on SFP where I get 45 FPS on Chrome and bad quality on Firefox with a buggy experience on Opera.

 

High Quality Frames!

 

As compared to any other base of playing TO, I've noticed that SFP gives the smoothest sharpest frames over loss of Frames Per Second.

 

I get sharp images on Chrome but with slowdown, Blurred Low Quality Images on Firefox, buggy ones on Opera.

 

Reduced probability of Fatal Errors!

 

As compared to any other base of playing TO, I've noticed that SFP gets the least Fatal Errors or any crashes/bugs as it directly uses resources without any interference of browsers.

 

Chrome, Firefox and Opera all are prone to Fatal Errors. Except SFP :)

 

Less Need for Hardware Resources!

 

As compared to any other base of playing TO, I've noticed that SFP uses the least RAM, CPU, GPU and Hard Drive usage which can be VERY useful for players with slow systems!

 

Chrome eats up disk usage while startup causing major slowdowns.

Firefox takes up lots of RAM while in use... And same with Opera.

 

 

That's It!

I'll add more as soon as possible.

 

Developers and Players, GO SFP! :D

 

- Thanks.

Yea I'll go against the odds here. Anyhoo I think the advantages are great the disadvabtages might be a Problem.. But as you said not that much fatal errors.. Then I guess I could try out Sfp. Anyways the problems your said about chrome, Firefox and opera are all true. I'll yet this out and tell you If I liked It! Thanks for the Idea.

ONE PROBLEM FIXED!!

 

 

 

No Direct Link for Servers!

 

There are special links for Standalone Flash (SFP in Short Form) which allow a player to directly enter RU Servers ONLY. This is annoying because when I play EN Servers and need to reload for any reason I lose my battle fund and crystals!

 

Before the update there were server links for EN Servers too, for example:

c29.tankionline.com is the link for RU 29.

c30.tankionline.com will be the link for EN1.

This problem is TOTALLY FIXED!! :D
