This. The reason Era runs like trash on every single PC is because it's limited by Adobe Flash. Era could've updated to Unity years ago and worked out a ton of the problems it has now with the client, but the big solution here is to just allow people to use the Playerworlds Portal. Sadly, the fact that you're immediately given a staff level by logging into Era iPhone from it was the most short-sighted thing they could've done 8 years ago, so we're stuck here. Using software that runs Teen Titans: Battle Blitz to play a game with 3,000 concurrent users.

If anyone here from development on that scale ends up reading this, here's the shortlist of what has to get done for iEra's browser client
- Enable a setting that allows us to remove the bottom border friends-list.
- Update the settings menu in the player menu to allow us to adjust volume with slider, not just turn it on or off. (This has been a thing since 2014)
- Fix the effects rendering on anything with gif lighting. M4A3 Diamond Skin is a good example.
- A ton of rooms in buildings just don't work because tiles don't render correctly. The entirety of Plasma Corp is a good example.
- Half of the guns are missing sounds. M4A3, Maccus Uzi, KMP9 and a couple others come to mind.
- It wouldn't be too hard to just remap the keys and allow us to walk with WASD/shoot with IJKL, do the reverse of that, or let people use WASD/Mouse. I don't think anyone actually tried the client before they decided to use it.
- Allow us to disable clicking ourselves. When you get into a melee fight, you lose. It's that simple.
- Any gas effect/explosion will crash the window you're using pretty quickly on chrome.
and the easiest way to fix that? let us use playerworlds, lol
