Serius time problems in the game.

[Perman]

I have notice that several time that I get a higher score on a slower pickup time of objects. So I wonder what that was about. I timed with a stop watch the time from the game start to last object picked up. Here is the result. Stopwatch showed 17 seconds while the bonus time watch said 26 seconds. A serius difference when bonus time is equal to points you make. Any ideas why this big different? I do know that windows is a multitasking operation system and require time to do other tasks and that could be why the different if the use the system timer instead of a software time in the game. Ideas????

Addition. I found where the big time different comes in. The bonus timer start at the time when starting scene comes up and not when the actually game start. So sometime you are lucky the game start right away other times you have to sit and wait for several seconds before it start and the bonus timer is still ticking and you can do nothing. I think thats a bug in the software and should be fixed so the bonus time start when the game start and not when the scene load. Thanks

My game is lagging REALLLLLLY BAD!!! I've done everything to clear/delete/refresh over & over and it doesn't help at all. I'm struggling so bad to get my last couple stars it's ridiculous and extremely frustrating! It's happening with every scene but the Taj Mahal is a lot worse that the others. Thankfully I finished my 4 stars on that one.

Mine has been boggy too. The worst has been since about Sunday afternoon. Hopefully they get it figured out soon because I'm tired of keeping my finger on the escape key for the last item just to try and squeek out a few more points, lol.

I'm doing that too. I just posted it in the bugs thread about loading. It's SO frustrating! After i clear blah, blah, blah it might work a little better on the first play but after that it's right back to where it was. I would have been finished building my Taj Mahal by now if it wasn't lagging so bad.

You are right it's really bad at the Taj Mahal. I have been playing those scenes over and over again and you can get a bonus time error up to 100%. 15 seconds turn into 30 seconds. In points that's going from 570K to 530K. A big different specially if you play against a friend for fun.

I'm so glad it's not just me!! I do love competing against my friends but I'm also TRYING to get my last couple stars and it's taking forever!

They should make it fair and square. Start the bonus time when the game start and not when it load scene. That would be fair to people that have a slow computer as people with a fast one. Bonus time would be for the same speed of pick up objects. And a whole other thing. How the hell do you get the 12th one in a chain? In the old days with the bug you could get it by click on it right at the game start. Not anymore. Why write 11 out of 12 when you only can get 11. Thoughts.

Just a note. Turn off all application on the computer before you run the game. That will make it to run at the fastest speed. I had some google phone running in the background and it slowed the game down by 25%. All that clear cache and whatever does not help much. Run the game as a single program is the fastest you can get it. Try it and you wil notice the clock turn around in the start goes much faster.

We just had a storm so we unplugged the modem and now it's running fine. I don't know how to close the other programs but resetting the modem seems to have helped for now.

Taj Mahal is still dragging some but not as bad as it was before.
