Flash Networking "Packet Loss" Issues? / How to Connect to Different IP Address?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 19:35:01 GMT

Hello, I'm developing a Flash game that utilizes LAN, and though I got it working for the most part, the problem is, I think there is packet loss issues... the way I have it set up is that each key pressed makes a variable for that "down", and when the key is not pressed, that variable turns into "up". Those are the variables I have sending to the neighbors. When those keys are pressed, depending on what they are, it moves their character around, attack, jump, so on and so forth. When I have both SWFs open on two separate computers and have them connect with each other, they read the movements just fine, like, on one computer if you pressed "jump", on the other computer, that character will also jump. However, there's certain times where it doesn't do that... sometimes you'll attack, but on the other computer the character won't do anything. It just seems like there's times where it doesn't pick up the signal of the key being "down", I don't understand why it's doing this. When you jump and move around enough, eventually the character will go off-course. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the LAN connection not lose any inputs or signals at all? Thanks in advance.

Also, I was wondering if it were possible to have two connections from different IP addresses connect with each other, using Hamachi or something. Is there a way to do this at all?

SWF Can't Access Network

Hello, so I'm making a Flash game, and I got LAN connection to work, but for some reason when I upload the SWF to a website and try to access it, I get the whole "do you want to allow this to access the internet?" conformation box, except I can't actually change any of its settings. It's all blank and when I click on it nothing happens. Here is a screenshot:

I tried opening it on multiple computers, all of them get the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Photoshop CS5 Keeps Slowing Down

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 08 Mar 2014 17:32:27 GMT

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 64-bit installed on my computer, and it keeps slowing down. Like, after 10 minutes of working, when I switch tools or hit undo/redo, it takes about a second or so to actually do it, and the longer I stay in the program it gets even worse. It's incredibly frustrating when trying to work, I have to keep restarting the program.

About last October or so I made a post asking the same question, but I found out the problem was that I had to delete the preferences file. It fixed it, and every month or so I had to do that. This time though, it's not fixing anything. I even tried re-installing the program. I don't understand what the problem is here.

I've tried screwing around with the performance stuff and whatever, nothing makes a difference. It just slows down no matter what is set to what.

I have Photoshop installed on my SSD, it has about 60GB free on it.

These are my PC's specs:

OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz

RAM - 16GB (4x 4GB) DDR3 @ 1066MHz

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB

Storage - 1x 128GB SSD (OS and Photoshop installed on), 1x 750GB HDD, 1x 160GB HDD

Here's what I have currently set in the Photoshop settings:

Memory Usage - 95% (14010MB)

History States - 60

Cache Levels - 8

Cache Tile Size - 1028K

Open GL Drawing - Enabled (Advanced Mode, vertical sync and anti-alias unchecked)

The SSD and both HDDs are checked in the scratch disk order, SSD first, 750GB second, 160GB third.

Any ideas?

Why does Photoshop keep slowing down?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:21:33 GMT

I've been using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 for two years now, and for some reason it seems to have the problem of slowing down after using it for a while, so if I'm working on a project I have to keep closing it and reopening it to get it fast again. It's weird because it doesn't seem to matter how much stuff is on the canvas, it's just how much I've drawn and hit undo and erased or did anything, After like 5 minutes of straight work it just gets too slow for me to work in, like when I switch tools or change the color it takes a couple seconds to respond. So literally every couple minutes I have to restart Photoshop and open the same file.

What's really odd is that sometimes Photoshop will work perfectly fine and stay lightning fast for hours. Like, for the last couple of months it's been 100% fine, but since a few days ago it started to have this "slowing down" issue again. Every couple months it seems to decide to be perfectly fine or just really annoying. I didn't change anything in my computer.

It can't be my computers specs or my settings in Photoshop, but I will tell you all of that anyway.
