Hey guys, it's true, Armor Games does run on ads, but what website that earns people a living doesn't? So just take that into account.
FROM A HARDWARE POINT OF VIEW:
3. I don't think local storage settings will matter. The ad is taking from the RAM. It doesn't store anything on my hard drive. I've installed flash blocker and blocking the ad fixed the problem.
Upgrading ram is one way to do it, but if you have at least 2GB of RAM, then you are actually okay. I run a an Intel Pentium for a CPU. It seems to run a good amount of games smoothly, but bigger games have a very noticeable lag. Search up the power of my CPU compared to yours, if yours is better, then it must be your GPU (graphics/video card).
If ads do affect play-ability such as lag or performance issues, then you really ought to look into upgrading your hardware. The reality is, the ads on AG aren't supposed to affect performance because they really don't need a lot from your computer. (by that I mean, it really shouldn't be noticeable). On decent hardware, ads aren't a problem.
If upgrading your device is too costly, look into AFG+, it's much cheaper. The way I see it, this seems to be the most efficient solution if ads really are the problem for you guys.
If you are looking into free performance enhancement, then try Game Booster, or try Defragging your device (you may lose local saved data). I run a decent laptop, and after trying these methods, performance was hiked up a bit.
OR
Closing all other programs running while playing games. Turning down in game settings so next time you open the game, it will be much faster.
Again, these are just basic tips, and there about a dozen other ways to enhance performance without cost. Search it up on Google.
My point is, guys...
... There are a lot of games in this site that require some pretty decent hardware to run smoothly. You can't expect them to run smoothly on hardware that chokes up on just flash games and slows down just because of ads. A lot of the content in these games aren't holding back for performance, but instead trying to dish out some nice graphics and effects to create a great experience for users, so that along with ads is really going to take it's toll on a computer's hardware that's outdated, not meant for the purpose of gaming (even though we are just talking about flash gaming), or just simply not cut out for these kinds of requirements to run a game smoothly.
