A week ago I would have told you I was GOOD at evading the hi sign. But now it seems no matter what I do, my Glitch keeps pausing in mid-jump, just long enough for the hi sign to nab me.
Things I've tried:
Reloading. Like, BILLIONS OF TIMES
Changing browsers. I've tried Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera.
Closing all other applications and windows and tabs, and running nothing but the browser.
Making sure the browser window itself is just big enough to hold the game window.
Making sure browser is up to date, and that flash is up to date.
Making sure browser has absolutely no add-ons or extensions.
Deleting all cookies and clearing cache.
Updating my entire operating system.
Shutting down my wifi and plugging the ethernet cable directly into the computer.
Dumping my entire inventory just in case it has something to do with that. Yeah, I know, grasping at straws, ha!
Swearing. Crying. Complaining constantly, which I think is kind of starting to alienate all my friends and anyone else who comes within earshot of me.
This is not a problem of skill. The hi sign can be two or three planks behind me, and as I'm frantically jumping along I'll just sort of "catch" in mid-air and BAM. It gets me. This is true when I'm on spinach and/or hairball. Even a perfectly-timed triple jump is subject to this problem. Normally I don't have any real noticeable "lag." I have a new computer and a fast (broadband) connection. And like I said -- a week ago I was able to evade a hi sign quite well. I mean, it was a challenge to do it for very long, but when I failed it was due to my ineptness, not to being momentarily frozen in the middle of what should've been a perfect escape maneuver. *scowls*
Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, have you found any ways to deal with it? I'm willing to try just about anything! Or am I truly alone in my hi evasion misery?
