Something unusual I've been noticing for a while, but only now brought up since I only fire up Flash Player occasionally. I'm not sure if it's Windows or drivers, but I'm noticing things animating in Flash are a bit choppy under Windows 10 while they're still fine on Windows Vista. Not sure about 7, haven't booted that OS in a long while.

This with latest official international version of Flash Player 32.0.0.465 that was discontinued (needs patching out the time bomb) and the newer version (currently at 34.0.0.330) being maintained for Chinese, easily obtainable at https://github.com/TCOTC/CleanFlash_Installer.

Running it in a browser is a bit worse than standalone player, but it's also noticeable in standalone player.

I like Crush the Castle 2 for comparisons, on every level, camera goes from the crash site to player's catapult, the jerkiness of camera movement is painfully obvious.

For the above web site to work properly with Pale Moon (one of the last good web browsers with Flash support), you need this filter in uBlock Origin to block Ruffle (poor Flash emulator):

||unpkg.com/@ruffle-rs/*$script

And the following user style (userContent.css, Stylem...) to fix the size of the game container:

@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.y8.com/games/") {
.item-direct-container {
height: calc((100vw - 345px) * 5/8) !important;
}
}

What's funny, both standalone versions seem to use D3D11 according to MSI Afterburner, so I guess the idea of wrapping old D3D to new one is out.
