Did a slight bit of testing - found occasional hiccups in performance.

Ah, didn't realise I had turned off Ruffle again. Keeps happening to me.

No medals were awarded, despite finishing the game with 100% completion.

I am curious if anyone has the ability to save this old flash animation


the original file was a .swift or .SWI

file was saved as a .swift or .SWI

renamed in file explorer to .SWF

uploaded to newgrounds as a .SWF

Played for a few minutes, stopped due to slowdown. By my guess, the game's physics are slowing it down something fierce.

Played for about one or two minutes, stopped due to serious slowdown/choppiness.

Given its somewhat physics-based, this seems like a good test for performance optimisations.

Game freezes on the first textbox.

Did some further testing - seems the game isn't frozen, it just requires I click "Forward" in the context menu.

I found the bug on both Ruffle and NG Player, as well.

Should I go ahead and turn on Ruffle for that? Wonder why the old reviews don't mention that, wonder if it worked in the Flash browser plugin despite not working in NG Player.

On the one hand, there's an obvious and serious bug. On the other hand, the bug appears in both Ruffle and NG Player.

Personally, I wouldn't for now - I think this bug should be investigated further.


Its a very odd bug - seems worth investigating.

Another swift update - seems this bug is exclusive to Chaos Girl II. You can safely turn on Ruffle for Chaos Girl III.

I've also mentioned another of Jack's games having a broken medal on another thread - seems the issue's slipped the staff by.

Can confirm its fixed - I just became its first recipient in nearly eight years:

I'll run through this in Ruffle as well - will update soon.

Response to Ruffle Testing / Flash Preservation Crew 2024-05-11 12:02:36


Swift update: I checked NG Player and Ruffle - there's text alignment issues in both.

Ruffle:

iu_1202150_14526566.png

NG Player:

iu_1202151_14526566.png

That's obviously gonna require another fix from Jack, but its not a Ruffle bug and everything's still earnable.

You can safely turn on Ruffle for this one.
