Flash Game Issue

Question

Hi there, I've been playing the same two flash games for quite some time now and i have an issue where i used to white screen a lot (White screen with gray explanation mark in the middle) and after trying out many different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) i moved onto Opera where i have no issue with one of the games... However the other game starts to get lower and lower fps the long it's open, sure i can just reload my page everytime i need to interact with the game but it's a pretty big hassle especially since i like to leave it running as it auto-enters some battles.

Specs:

Intel i7 4770k 3.5

8 Gig DDR3

GTX 760 2GB

What could be causing this issue?

PS: Someone told me that it could be a lack of RAM however this happens even with only the 2 games open on Opera and they are only using about 40% of my RAM

Yeah, the grey circle with the exclamation point is the Out of Memory icon. It sounds like the game might benefit from some optimization. Flash Player itself has to choose between performance and memory footprint (the more memory is available, the more we're able to cache things. This saves CPU time. The less memory we have, the more we have to recalculate things, which saves RAM, but costs CPU time. A 64-bit browser and operating system with 8GB+ of RAM definitely doesn't hurt.

In terms of the game itself, Adobe provides a profiling tool called Adobe Scout, which allows developers to identify slow parts of their code, and understand what and why memory is getting used. The game developer is in the best position to profile and optimize their game. In the unlikely event that they find a language-level problem that they cannot solve, they're in the best position to provide a detailed technical description of the problem. We can usually help with better implementation patterns, etc.
