Has anyone played "Moon Rock Rampage" lately? I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed that the game score animation freezes the game to the point that you cannot move. This started happening a few months ago.
I used to grab a quick 3K NP a day without a hitch. It used to play just fine, then one day stinkaroo. When I grab one of the space ship pieces, the Gorix or Cylara freeze.
No other game seems to have a problem, not even the 3D flash games like "Dice Escape". TNT has not said anything, nor responded to my emails.
A lot of games have problems, actually. I haven't been able to play Faerie Bubbles in months, either. The game itself runs fine, but between levels, it will freeze up (and computer memory usage shoots way up while it's frozen). At first it just freezes for a second, but the freezing time gets longer and longer as I play, finally giving me a "flash is running slowly and may become unstable/do you want to abort this script" thing around level 9. If I don't abort, the whole game crashes around level 10. I have also written bug reports, neomailed one programmer, and asked two others directly. They will answer other questions, but ignore me on this.
(I also thought it was my old computer acting up, but I asked two other friends -- one with a fancy gaming computer -- to try, and though theirs stalled for shorter periods, they still had the same issues.)
Back when this first started, I remember seeing numerous neoboard threads about other games freezing, stalling, and running slowly. I still see some occasionally, but I'm betting most of us have just given up. It's really irritating... faerie bubbles used to be my main world challenge game, as the Faerieland pieces are worth more than Tyrannia's (which I'm stuck doing now).
EDIT: I decided to start a thread at PPT about it,
right here. If anyone who's having issues is a PPT member, feel free to post (I copied the moon rock rampage thing into a quote; hope that's okay). I will show that thread to a programmer tomorrow.
I'm having the same problem with Faerie Bubbles, not so badly that it ever crashes, but it does freeze for longer and longer periods of time between levels. Hum, I thought it was just a problem with my computer, because Feed Florg used to do the same thing (years ago) on my ridiculously slow computer...
Just following up on this: some programmers finally looked into this yesterday and today (yay!) and fixed Faerie Bubbles. Now it lags a tiny bit, but I can play all 20 levels and send a score -- I'm so happy! I hadn't been able to play since June. One of the programmers said he would try to get to some of the other games next week, but he can't make any promises. At least now they know about the issue.
I can play Moon rock rampage now, but it is not as fast as it used to be =( and the first try of playing it, firefox and shockwave crashed =(
I don't think he's gotten to that one yet, but I specifically told him it's one of the worse ones (along with jolly jugglers and evil fuzzles), so it MAY be fixed next week.
i can still reach the 1000nps limit with the moon rock game, but it is still too lagged to be able to get the same WC scores that i used to get...
Playing that game in World Challenges is the only way i have to make nps fast
