    WebGL update is terrible

    Flash player for years has been amazing. The only downfall of flash player was that the quality is what I would consider around 720p resolution, and mobile clients had full 1080p clarity. But other than that, this webgl global update for graal is miserably awful. In fullscreen I cannot even shoot to the left of my screen simply because it doesn't register. I didn't have this issue with flash player. It's as if the programmer didn't even include feedback above a certain threshold of area in the screen. So clicking on the left-most part of the screen doesn't register shots. Also, half the images in the game don't load. Ever. I recorded a video of me basing and the doors wouldn't load in, so I was just running through empty doors without needing to break them down. Huge advantage, but keep in mind, the rest of the game doesn't load either. So on my screen, people are running around with invisible heads and bodies. I'm on an HP Omen Obelisk that cost me around $1200 and I have a mini satellite as a wifi adapter, its not my internet connection, and again, I never had these issues with flash player. The controls feel numb and my input feels much slower and sometimes my shots don't even register. Previously I used to get bored because I was severly overpowered, going into bases and killing everyone in the room. Now, I struggle to kill a lagger with an M4 just because the client is so miserably terrible. I can't even type correctly, and if I press enter, it types "Enter" instead of registering that as an input. Same with the tab key. I remember I quit for a while (out of boredom for killing everyone in the game) and when I came back on I said "wow graal finally updated their title screen". First time I ever tried this game I was so surprised about how awful it is. Now, to even play the game I have to play in incognito mode because the cache is so full on regular Chrome that the game loads like straight garbage. Even in incognito mode when I walk through a door it takes 2x as long as mobile players just to load everything in, and it used to be 2x faster than mobile players with flash. I don't know who was in charge of this WebGL Unity update but it's seriously awful. If any of you have any care for traditional OG PC players, fix the client. This update is insane.

    Edit: If you can, allow users to play with the original flash player in the mean time, while tests and bugs are being sorted out. The reason for this is updates are taking way too long. WebGL has been like this for over a month or two, and no major changes have taken place. Allow users to use the original flash player, while the crappy Unity client is modified. And when you provide an update, the update should be at least as good or better than the previous version. But objectively I am sure everyone can agree this update is depressing.

    Edit2: I welcome any other PC players opinion in this discussion, for further input and other options we may have for Era. I will be recording a video of my gameplay on WebGL PC to demonstrate the flaws I have found hopefully today or tomorrow.

    Edit3: Here's the link to the video where I talk more in depth about this issue.
