Personally, I run the game in firefox, best results there for long periods of time. Opera for short, and chrome if you have the computer for it. Your internet doesn't seem to be bad, but I'd ask if you would run a speedtest to somewhere on the east coast of the USA. I wouldn't suggest using IE to be honest, nobody really likes it, and for good reasoning.

alright, so i've played the last couple of games in Opera. still get occasional weird issues, but it's running a lot smoother. i thought everyone had to keep [ctrl]+[number] down for half a second...
thanks for the help, all 'ya.

idk but the "ctrl" button isn't registered on the Windows version of Opera, but works on Mac.

I looked up the browsers and performance tests and it seems Opera does actually run complex flash games best.

I'm using Opera. :P

I have the PC to be able to use Chrome :P

Speaking of Opera, I just realized that the "ctrl" button is fixed. :D

Yay! No more use for chrome now!

I use chrome :S

Alright I'm getting really damn tired of a certain bug.
Its happening more and more recently.
I get paired up with someone. He sees who I am, and closes stick empires. Normally, he is supposed to lose rating, but now I am. It's seriously pissing me off that I pull an all-nighter to gain 10 points, and then lose triple of that amount due to this bug. I've complained to the devs before, nothing has changed. Hell, this post will probably go unnoticed by anyone that can do something about it. Anyways I am seriously frustrated and angry. My only excuse for playing games is the entertainment and fun I derive from it. SE is chipping away at me, I spend hours playing and lose it all in a second. BS BS BS

Maybe it isn't a bug. It could have something to do with your ISP.

If that is true, any idea how to fix it?

Then take a good look, make sure everything is in its place, all cables are plugged, etc.
