Warning about Google Web Accelerator

Postby RobEng » Thu Jul 27, 2006 8:56 pm

I recently found out that the new Google web accelerator drastically slows down Java Web Start. This is a problem that does affect the launch of GTO games. As this is a big downside to the accelerator at this point until either Sun Microsystems or Google make adjustments.

Doing a web search I found the following text that you can configure javaws.exe to use a direct network connection: open Javaws, click on the Preferences which will open the Java Control Panel, click on Network Settings, and change from Using Browser Settings to Direct Connection. There is a warning that this change should be done by advanced users so do this at your own peril.

Hey RobEng,

I tried what you suggested. Not sure if there is a difference yet but I wanted to point out that there is a problem right now whereby the lobby isn't loading at all...

Thanks

I am having problems getting in the games here. I played yesterday and everything was fine and tonight I can't get into the lobby. It appears that the lobby is not loading correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

We are currently having problems with our game server/lobby. I am out of communication with our lead programmer so we will likely be down for the night.

Yes, you were. The official reason is given as "Spammed the chat with swearing and refused to click ready in tables". If you think this is in error or want more information, you can email support@gametableonline.com about it.
