Hi guys,

I haven't been practicing except for 5 minutes every other month for the last 2 years. I finally got some motivation and have started back into my characters only to find a slew of problems.

When I write the characters with my bamboo pen, there is a very slow lag of .5 to 1 second for each stroke to pop up. I tried Firefox and Chrome, installed flash, installed Bamboo drivers, adjusted settings on both Skritter, Wacom, and Windows control panels to no avail.

I have a good computer that I can play graphic intense games. It has two video cards which I have switched between even.

I tried using my phone for a bit but when I get to the character sui - 隨 on the HTML 5 version it can't recognize that the character is finished writing and there is absolutely nothing I can do to go on to the next character.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it.

For the Flash app (www.skritter.com): can you let me know if you still see the same stroke input lag on Internet Explorer? (It uses a different Flash plug integration). If you see it there, then it must be something to do with the Wacom configuration. If you don't see it there, it may be a regression in Windows Chrome/Firefox. Also, do you see the delay when testing with the mouse, or just with the Wacom tablet?

Thanks Nick for your feedback. I retested the browsers today and find that IE is crisp and fast, Chrome now has a slight delay but stroke movement isn't smooth, and Firefox still has huge lag.

I use Chrome exclusively so that's all I truly care about. Am I just stuck in IE world for Skrittering or is there anything I can do to fix Chrome?

Not sure yet–did you see the same performance issues with mouse as with Wacom?

Yes, mouse and wacom have same issues in respective browsers.

Okay, so then the problem is likely with Chrome's Flash plugin architecture. For maximum smoothness on your computer, I'd stick with IE for Skritter.
