Montana's ''he's got a gun, too'' ability, seems to reanimate each buff on all the crusaders each 5 secs, this tends to enhance the time glitch further as a side-effect

Update on lag issue, and clarifying what i'd written before Re:lag...

I mentioned the event since, because of it, i was perhaps paying closer attention than normal, but this was not meant to imply the lag occured only on the event objectives. This occurs on all objectives/freeplays/campaigns and has done for at least several weeks now, though i coudln't pinpoint exactly when it began.

I said that it was very noticeable by area 50 and postulated that it seemed to depend upon how many crusaders are unlocked and/or how many upgrades are bought. Upon further testing, it does not matter how many crusaders are unlocked or how many are on the screen, but it does depend upon unlocked abilities: full formation with no abilities bought - no lag; but as one buys more abilities - the lag becomes more and more noticeable.

After buying all abilities, reducing my formation to only one or two crusaders removes the lag. Eventually, though, i need my whole formation to continue the insta-killing, so that's only an option for a relatively short time.

The lag i'm referring to is mainly a pause with each kill. [It might also include the black wipe pausing on it's way across, which is sometimes quite a significant pause, but i'm not sure the two are related]. These pauses begin as tiny hitches you only notice if you are paying close attention, but are soon unmissable.

[By the way, i'm playing with the "low quality mode" activated, and this occurs even when using only original crusaders].

This doesn't seem to be just a visual thing - hence my previous question about the common wisdom of 100 areas taking about an hour.

Based upon his operating system, my computer is not as old as the original poster's, but it is not brand new either ... on the other hand, i have seen people claim this to be happening even on their newer game-optimized machines.

do the flash global settings storage by site delete idols... thing which you will see is perhaps in the hundreds of Megs and you will not have lag again for a while.
I do this every week

Nothing is ever wrong with the game, if you ask Raymond. Every suggestion anyone makes is bad for the game, if you ask him. Raymond is just a troll.

We all have different standars on what's fluid and smooth gameplay. For me frame rate should be smooth as a silk or it's not good enough. This game have serious performance issues PERIOD. Even Erika acknowledge them.

I tested a few things tonight and the previous poster that said it seemed like it got worse the more abilities you buy was right (at least in my case) the more abilities bought the worse the lag - very noticeable if I buy drogons healing ability or montana's gun ability

there is lag the more abilities purchased but those 2 really slow it down

Yes, most of the performance problems seem to be fixed now. Thanks you devs.

Don't normally use Robo-Rabbit, but am doing the Beauties and the Beasts objective and had no choice (for a clicker, anyway). Clicking using him really freezes up the game - same sort of lag previously discussed in this thread, but worse. But only occurs when clicking with him in formation. Won't be a problem for me after this objective, but thought i should mention it.
