Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand how frustrating it is when the game speed doesn't match your expectations, especially in fast-paced rooms.

To help clarify, here are a few points regarding the recent update:

Bandwidth vs. Rendering: 
While your 900 Mbps internet is excellent for downloading large files, gaming performance often depends on Latency (Ping) and how your browser handles the website's layout. The new unified layout (mobile and PC) uses modern web technologies that might require more resources from your browser’s cache or hardware acceleration.

Hardware Acceleration: 
Please ensure that 'Hardware Acceleration' is enabled in your browser settings (Chrome/Edge/Firefox). This allows your graphics card to help render the game, making it feel much smoother.

Clear Cache: 
Since the layout has changed, your browser might still be trying to load old files alongside new ones. We highly recommend clearing your browser cache and restarting it.

Local Performance: 
If the game feels like it is in 'slow motion,' it is usually a sign that your device's CPU/RAM is struggling to process the visual updates in real-time, rather than a slow internet connection.

We are constantly optimizing the new code to ensure it runs smoothly on all devices. Please try clearing your cache first, as this solves the majority of 'lag' issues after an update.

Thank you for your response. My computer has 2 terabytes of hard drive space and 32 GB of RAM, so I know the issue is not my PC. The game used to run really fast, but now when I try to move quickly, it feels like the checker pieces get stuck to the mouse cursor. Everything feels sticky and delayed, making it hard to play fast.

I also know it is not my computer or internet connection because nothing has changed on my end. However, after FlyOrDie’s recent update, the game has become very laggy. I’ve spoken with other players who are experiencing the same problem. Many players are saying the game feels much slower after the update.

Note: I am specifically talking about bullet checkers. For slower-paced games, the issue may not be as noticeable.

Hi,

Thank you for providing these extra details. Having 32 GB of RAM and plenty of storage definitely rules out memory or disk bottlenecks on your PC.

When it comes to high-speed rooms like Bullet Checkers, where every millisecond counts, that "sticky" or "delayed" feeling when dragging pieces is usually a browser rendering issue rather than a hardware or connection problem. Even on powerful computers, a web browser can sometimes struggle to process rapid mouse movements if certain settings aren't aligned with a new code update.

To help us narrow this down and ensure your powerful setup runs the game as fast as it used to, could you check the following?

-Mouse Polling Rate (Very Common for Gaming PCs): If you use a gaming mouse with a high polling rate (e.g., 1000Hz or higher), web browsers can heavily lag when you move the mouse quickly across the screen, causing pieces to feel "stuck" to the cursor. Try lowering your mouse polling rate to 250Hz or 500Hz in your mouse software to see if the stickiness disappears.

-Hardware Acceleration Check: Please double-check that "Use graphics acceleration when available" is actually turned ON in your browser settings (Settings -> System/Performance). If this is off, your browser forces your CPU to do all the heavy visual lifting, which causes that "slow-motion" effect during fast movements.

-Alternative Browser Test: Have you tried opening the game in a different browser (e.g., switching from Chrome to Edge or Firefox, or vice versa)? This helps us determine if the issue is a specific browser extension, a corrupted profile, or the new update itself.

We take feedback about game speed in competitive modes very seriously. Our team is actively analyzing the performance of the new update, and your description of the piece-dragging delay gives us valuable clues for our next optimization patch.

I also have the same with the site. The pieces got stuck and can not move like it should. How can it be that others dont feel any thing of the changes and some do. In the past i had this same problem always a reponse of flyordie that it was mine wifi or anything. But know this what speedy tells u is the same thing what i try to tell u guys all the time. It is not our internet. It is coming from this website. It is weird. Then fast then very slow.

I understand the frustration, but lag is not something that simply “comes from the website” in the way people often imagine it.

When you play, your connection goes from your device, through your Wi-Fi/router, your ISP, several network providers and routing points, and only then reaches our game server. The response then has to travel back through a similar path. There can be dozens of devices and network hops between you and the server, and problems can happen anywhere along that route.

This also explains why some players feel changes and others do not. If the server location or routing changes, it may improve the connection for some players and make it worse for others, depending on where they are and how their ISP routes traffic at that moment.

A fast home internet connection does not always mean a good route to a specific game server. Your connection can be excellent for streaming, browsing, or another game, but still have packet loss, unstable latency, or a bad route to one particular server. Network routes also change all the time, and outages or congested routes happen every day in different parts of the internet.

We are not saying “it is your Wi-Fi”. We are saying that lag can be caused by many things: the player’s device, Wi-Fi, ISP, routing, regional network issues, or the server side. Unfortunately, there is no single server location that is best for everyone.

We take these reports seriously. But it is not accurate to say that if the game feels slow, it must be “coming from the website”. Online games depend on the whole path between the player and the game server, not just on the server itself.

Ever since they updated the silly flags being visible in lobby other day the game seems to be very laggy and is closing connection or disconnecting people even when you're internet isn't the issue.
