Greetings -
I am having stuttering issues with 2 brand new 8.1 computers running flash.
I've done a fair amount of troubleshooting and I believe it's an issue with Win 8.1 and Flash 15.0.0.189 (I don't know about previous versions.
Running this version of flash on my Win 8.0, HP works fine in both IE and Firefox
Running this version of flash on a new (few weeks old) custom built Toshiba Satellite S with Win 7 preloaded works fine in both IE and Firefox
But then I bought a Best Buy "blue label" Toshiba E45 with windows 8.1 I have stutter with both IE and Firefox.
No updated video drivers, but I reinstalled anyways. Also uninstalled/reinstalled flash as well as Firefox. I also unchecked " hardware acceleration" no difference. Changed screen resolution on my desktop, still had problems
Returned it and bought a Lenovo U430 with Windows 8.1 today...still have stuttering on FireFox and IE
Apps that run Silverlight work just fine.
It seems to me that there is an issue with Win 8.1 with the most recent version of Flash.
If an adobe staff member would like me to test the HP or Lenovo U430 further to resolve the issue, please let me know. I really can't handle all this stuttering. I would really love to help get this resolved asap.
If staff would like an example, Gracepoint on Hulu. The most recent episode The first stutter came in when 24:56 min were left at the show and then 22:55 min left. I then switched over to IE and had stutter with 21:20 left in the show, 17:56 left, and then 17:02 left. But it really is random.
