Marvel Super Hero Squad Online -- Ground Zero

OK, so I downloaded Firefox, downloaded the game files, and logged in and - yep, the log in screen stuck on 76% and that was that. Exactly the same as what happened when I tried to get a friend's kid into SHSO on his new laptop. So come on, I know some of you guys are way more computer-savvy than I am: is there no way that I can get into SHSO on my swanky new Windows 10 laptop?

As it is, my current laptop is starting to get a bit huffy-puffy when playing SHSO these days - half an hour and I have to log out for five minutes, or the game starts to become unreliable, not getting into missions, not being able to move zones, etc.

The only Windows 10 we have is on my mom's laptop, and no it doesn't have SHSO. I think Win 10 compatibility was mentioned either here or at the SHSO FB page.

Eh, that's seriously crimping your gameplay. The game takes longer to load on my 4-year old laptop but still playable, and of course it's better on the newer laptop. My golly, four accounts listed on your sig? I got all my heroes to 26 and my squad level is now 6169, and I'm groaning at the 7000 XP for level 27.

I have been running SHSO on two different Win 10 laptops with no problem. One thing you might want to try changing up is your unity web player. The version I'm using is 4.5.5f1. My firefox version is 47.0.1.

How much RAM do you have on your current laptop, and is it running 32 or 64 bit Windows? Your lagging after a half hour is due to a memory leak in either the Unity plugin or the SHSO code. If you use task manager to monitor the RAM usage over time, you'll see the memory used by the unity plugin keeps growing over time, and eventually it will run out of memory, causing you to restart SHSO. AFAIK there is no way to fix this, but you can extend the time before running out of RAM by adding RAM to your PC. Keep in mind that 32-bit windows has a limit of 3GB RAM it can use, even if you have more RAM installed on your PC. Currently I have 8GB in my laptop, and I can run comfortably for a few hours before having any problems.

It's a good idea to take it with a grain of salt, though. As CenturianSpy has said before, the current devs tend to use "update" to refer to what the old devs would call "maintenance".

Dear Marvel Super Hero Squad Online Community,
Marvel Super Hero Squad Online launched more than five years ago. Over that time we’ve released 196 playable characters and 80 missions, along with countless other additions and improvements to the game. We are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished, but the time has come for the final update to the game, which comes this week.
The game will be available until January 2017, and there’s likely still plenty of content for you to unlock over hours and hours of gameplay. We are cutting Gold and Fractal prices of all Characters by 20%, so you can try out all of it! All Jr. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent benefits remain in force, and everything remains available. We will no longer sell Gold, but we are upping the fractal drop rate, so you should be able to unlock and play everything.
We’d also like to send a huge thank you to all of those who have played and supported SHSO over the past few years. We’ve had the best time making it, and have especially loved hearing directly from you how many kids, parents, and everyone in between have enjoyed and connected over this game.
Thanks for all the great times,
–The Gazillion Super Hero Squad Online Team
P.S. None of these changes apply to Marvel Heroes 2016. So if you are interested, go check it out. www.marvelheroes.com

Sorry guys, I know there were really dedicated players here who jsut wanted to play more. This sucks.

I always hate to see a game go.

This is the end... My only friend, the end...

So much good memories with this. Ah...

It's also sad to know that this thread will probably die too... We won't have nothing to talk about.

Games Up. Spider-Gwen and Sp//dr are available. Agents only. Gold Badges are now 1000 each. Carnage is now available via fractals. No retired heroes in the shop though.

[Freezebacon170]

We should all play. Together. In the same server. Do a party or something.

What a sad day. I was really hoping the new Gaz leadership team would have the foresight and/or abilities to make our little game viable. I'm melancholy on the 5 years of good times and the tremendous letdown of Gaz.
