Speed setting #18

Closed GrayFace closed 3 years ago

GrayFace commented 3 years ago

As of now the animations are way slower than in the original. An option to increase speed (or faster default) would be pretty important.

Here TombOfVARN (the ru translator) said the same thing. My reply: https://github.com/arcomage/arcomage-hd/pull/17#issuecomment-814843355

The speeded up version was just deployed 5 minutes ago.

If it's still slow to you, then it must be a browser performance issue that I can't solve on my side, but requires you to change to Chrome or Chrome engine-based browser (or update your computer 😂).

Tell me if it still feels slow.

During my test of the game with Firefox in Windows, when I clicked a card, it suddenly moved to the center. I removed an unnecessary box-shadow effect, now the latest version correctly shows the animated movement, everything seems to be fine with Windows Firefox in my 2015 gamer PC. I don't know if you and @TombOfVARN can see improvement in your browsers (TombOfVARN uses Firefox, not sure about GrayFace).

The latest version also fully supports tablet / mobile screen, you can try it.

I didn't really planned for a Desktop Version but here is it:

https://github.com/arcomage/arcomage-hd#desktop-version

(Windows for now, I'll do MacOS and Linux later...)

(https://github.com/arcomage/arcomage-hd/issues/3)

I made it partly, no, mainly, because Firefox & Safari do not run the game very well. With Desktop Version, non Chrome-like browser user can play the game smoothly.

However it's just a Chrome wrapper that visits arcomage.github.io, if you can use Chrome, you don't need this Desktop Version.

See also #66 [Tutorial / solutions] What to do if the game is slow? which I've just written. If it's still slow in Chrome, the "Solution 2 Force Chrome to use dedicated GPU" might be worth a try on dual-GPU PCs.

I saw Is there any way to force MM7 with grayface's to not use the integrated intel card? today and found forcing dedicated GPU might be a solution for ArcoMage HD being slow on some dual-GPU PCs. Indeed, by default Chrome does not use dedicated GPU at all when ArcoMage HD is running.
