IanHighlander Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Option to disable the javascript snow? Hi @Chris Really don't want to come across as a bah humbug in this season of good will and all and I'm all for making things look pretty, but when a small javascript snow effect takes 80% cpu on one tab in a browser on an i7 processor, that's excessive. It's a common problem with these snow scripts as the processor has to keep track of each individual "flake". I've blocked it on mine now using adblock plus which immediately brought the browser back down to 2-4% CPU usage with about 20 tabs open. Just an option to switch it off might be nice to have. Thanks and happy Xmas to all of you at WC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator Joebl0w13 Posted December 19, 2019 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2019 For anybody interested in doing this. In most AdBlockers you can create custom filters. In this case, filter out "6d538d11ecfced46f459ee300b5e80ec_ta.entmt.1.0.js" This is probably pretty much what you did @IanHighlander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely what I did yes, although you don't need to be particularly clever about it, just entering https://survivetheark.com/applications/core/interface/file/index.php?file=/set_resources_42/6d538d11ecfced46f459ee300b5e80ec_ta.entmt.1.0.js into an adblocker will block the script too. I didn't want to mention it (until you did) as I got told off last time I posted an adblock thing for this site lol (I block the huge advert panel at the top of the forums with mine), I understand why in that instance to be fair as it's them advertising their product, I just object to an advert taking a third of my screenspace up and frankly buy all their damn games anyway so don't need to be told to buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHighlander Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Don't get me wrong, really trying not be me a miserable old git about this, the snow "looks" pretty. Admittedly this is just a laptop so the GPU isn't taking most of the strain which it would on a half decent graphics card, but none the less, this is an i7 8550U with 16GB RAM it's no slouch and for one tab to take 80% CPU on an 8th Gen four core i7 is excessive ?

Administrator Chris Posted December 19, 2019 Administrator Share Posted December 19, 2019 @IanHighlander Interesting, I'm using an older i7 on my laptop right now and it's only taking up around 8% CPU for me. But sure, i'll add in a hotkey to turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenRoc Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Disable Forum Snowfall? Is there an option to disable the forum snowfall?

GreenRoc Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 My speed at reading this forum has slowed down by 3x. I have never felt something like this before. I havent seen forum overlays like this before either. I don't like what it is doing to my brain. Please, let me turn it off. Tell me how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHighlander Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Thanks Chris, as I say, not a major issue for me now as I've blocked the script with adblock plus, but if it's affecting me it's likely affecting others too. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHighlander Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Affecting people in a different way too, I appreciate this isn't down to CPU usage but might be something you want to take into consideration also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can find a place to add a personal filter list option, in uBlock Origin I open the dashboard and go to my list and add the snow javascript in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
