Flash vs HTML5 - Which one's faster?

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

TO devs are always doing some undercover updating and optimizing for both versions to enhance the speed of the game, especially for HTML5. Right now, it has always been that Flash was much faster than HTML5, but since that the devs are working hard (benefit of the doubt), eventually HTML5 will dominate over Flash. 

 

This thread is to notify players on when it will be quicker to run TO in HTML5 rather than Flash.

I'd rather have the game on a dying game engine and have them fix the balance with Drones and Alts

HTML5 isn't as well optimized, but it's a LOT better than it was a year ago.

Flash will stop receiving security updates after 2020, which means security holes won't be patched. It's like using a Java web applet today.

To me HTML5 still feels a bit "off". It's much better than it was when they first made it available and I honestly wouldn't mind too much if they switched to HTML5 right now and stopped Flash support, but I'd rather see them improve it more.

I've tried it, it does "feel" different.  That said, haven't played enough regularly to say too slow or much faster, but I will say, definitely playable.

 

On the note of Flash going away, they had better be optimizing, 2020 is fast approaching.  No time for drones and surprises, especially if the new stuff hasn't been optimized yet for HTML 5 either.

 

For whatever reason, to me, it did seem like it had slighter richer color, which I know seems odd, there really should be a difference, but still, the "move" and flow, seems slighter better.
