What is FlashPlayer and why is it necessary?

Flash Player - this is the program module (plugin), which makes it possible to play video files, animation and games in the browser (for example, Firefox, Internet Explorer) and the operating system (WindowsXP, Vista, Linux, MacOS). Thus, Flash Player is the connecting link between the interactive program and the operating system.

Flash Player is available free for download [1] from its developer company Adobe, and install on your computer.

Please, follow Adobes instruction on the installation of Flash Player for each of the operating systems.

Optimum tuning of Flash Player

For Fragoria to run smoothly, it is necessary to configure Flash Player for this game. First log into the game with your browser. Right click on any place on the game, a context menu will be opened. Select “settings” (tuning). You will see the Adobe Flash Player Settings with different symbols. Left Click the mouse on the first symbol in the lower line. Make sure “Enable hardware acceleration” is checked.

Removal of data (cleaning cache) created by the program Flash Player

Flash Player saves data not only into the browser cache, but also on the hard drive. This data occasionally needs to be erased in order to keep up with updates in the game.

Instructions for WindowsXP

First, the hidden files and folders must be visible in the windows explorer to work with the Flash Player caches.

This is done this way:

Open "Start" -> "Programs" -> "Accessories" -> "Explorer" -> from the top menu "Tools" -> “Folder Options” -> tab “View” -> “Show hidden files and folders” at the bottom, Click “OK”

Proceed as follows:

Open My Computer

C:\ Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\

Warning: User Name - this is your account in Windows.

The easiest way is to open “My Computer” and paste in the address bar the path to the file. Do not forget to replace username of your account in Windows.

Turning to the specified file, select the folder “#SharedObjects”. In this folder is located another folder with a strange name, for example, QWHAJ7FR or something in this kind. It is necessary to remove the contents of this folder.

After this, go into another folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\

There through the folder “macromedia.com “, “support “and “flashplayer “we go in the folder “sys “, where we delete all except the file “settings”

Reboot your computer! Done!

Instructions for Windows Vista and Windows 7

First, the hidden files and folders must be visible in the windows explorer to work with the Flash Player caches.

This is done this way:

Open the “Start” -> “Programs”-> “Accessories” -> “Windows Explorer” -> Select in the top menu “Tools” -> “Folder Options” -> tab “View” -> “Show hidden files and folders”, at the bottom, Click “OK”.

Second, proceed as follows:

Open “My Computer”

C:\Users\ UserName\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\

Warning: User Name - this is your account in Windows.

The easiest way is to open “My Computer” and paste in the address bar, the path to the file. Do not forget to replace username on your account in Windows. Turning to the specified file, select the folder “ #SharedObjects”. In this folder is located another folder with a strange name, for example, QWHAJ7FR or something in this kind. It is necessary to remove the contents of this folder.

After this, go into another folder:

C:\Users\ UserName\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\

There through the folder “macromedia.com “, “support “and “flashplayer “ go in the folder “sys “, where we delete all except the file “settings”.

Reboot your computer! Done!

Processors Dual Core and Quad Core

Flash Player usually works in computers with processors Dual Core and Quad Core, using only one processor core.

Therefore, Flash Player number of processor cores is irrelevant. The value has only the power of the nucleus. However, the same nucleus is used by other programs and the very operating system. So with that do not underestimate the power of your computer!

Adobe is recommended for 852x420 resolution at least Pentium 4 with the frequency of 2,33 GHz.

Small Tricks

The fact that the programs are not able to work in multicore systems, or simply do not bother it, by default the first core (Core 0 or core 0). As a result there may result in a stampede while the rest of the nucleus mostly idle. However, nothing prevents you from “transplanted” to a separate process that is not used, the kernel, thus allocate more capacity for its implementation. How it’s done, open the Task Manager.

To do this we click on the taskbar, right-click and choose to run it. Or you can press Ctrl-Alt-Del and run it from there. Next, find the list of applications you want. In the case of Fragoria a browser, which runs the game, or the client (fragoria.exe). Click on it, right-click and choose Go to process. We fall to the tab processes and desired process is already highlighted. Click on it, right-click and choose Set Affinity (to match). In the new window, remove all check boxes except the last kernel. Click ok and all your process is transferred to the VIP room:)
