Laptop or desktop?

I have an AMD Sempron 3100+, 1GB DDR, Geforce 7800GS 256MB gfx card. It can run Crysis, so I can't see why it would struggle with a flash game!

Re: Dragon Orb - The Great Quest

Rather slow and laggy, so hard to play.
I would suggest the Frames Per Second rate was increased (depending on what it is set to at the moment anyway), and if it hasn't already been, the file is run through an swf compressor.

Other than the slow laginess it is a nice game. I'm just not very good at it!

Desktop. It runs most flash based games easily at high graphics as well.

Re: Dragon Orb - The Great Quest

My computer hardly ever lags on flash games, unless my internet provider is having 'technical difficulties'. I would say an FPS optimiser would be useful, but that is rather tricky to code. I havent worked out how to code an FPS display yet, so I can't imagine how hard and FPS optimiser is.

lol
At least I managed to break into the high scores and finish level 1!

Re: Dragon Orb - The Great Quest

Increased frame rate version just uploaded... clear your cache, or exit your browser and go back in and play to see if that helps you. Like any game I guess depending on what type of game it is and what impact it has on your graphics card, there will always be issues with some PCs.

Re: Dragon Orb - The Great Quest

Finally I have finished level 5! I'm 4th now. I don't think I will be able to beat that now.

Re: Dragon Orb - The Great Quest

There are some very impressive scores that have appeared on the high score list in the last couple of weeks. Some people have clearly been busy since I went away on holiday. I think Brian would have to try a lot harder if he wanted to reclaim the top spot!

Re: Dragon Orb - The Great Quest

Congrats, Threddy! You have joined quite an elite band who have reached the final level and got all the questions right. The odds of your winning the laptop are quite high at the moment!

Re: Dragon Orb - The Great Quest

I am so glad you said that Mark! I hadn't noticed the bit that said only those who had completed the game would be in the main prize draw and any score would be in the runner-up draw!

When I got to level 5 I got a question wrong, but now I've managed to complete it!
