I only have two web browsers: Internet explorer and Google chrome. Internet explorer is way too slow for me to play TFM on, but when I try using Google Chrome for TFM on my computer, every three-four seconds, it freezes for half a second and then resumes normal play. Is anyone else having this problem and is there any way to fix it?

you can download a standalone client for windows or mac. I did and i found it stopped all lag i had in the browser based game, i'd advise you do it

it also has no adverts :)

We can I find this 'Standalone' Thing?

on the login page there's a wee picture of a mouse in a box next to he windows icon, click that and it will download the programme

Do you experience issues with any other Flash object? (YouTube, etc)

I do. My whole computer has been running a little slow lately.

It's an issue with your PC then, not the game. Run spyware/malware checks, and if it persists then have someone look at your hardware.
