Flash Player performance slowness and mouse lag

I've been having this problem for a while. I already did the usual google searching and didn't find anything useful. Specifically its games I play on kongregate and other sites. When they are using flash player I tend to get poor performance. If it uses a mouse cursor the mouse lags/skips across the flash player window, when it leaves the flash player area the lag doesn't occur. I dont have problems when I'm in games or general responsiveness of the system, I've plenty of space, low processor utilization, low memory utilization, etc etc.
I have windows 8.1, IE11, the latest flash player, video and system drivers are all the latest and greatest. I've found articles suggesting to turn on/off hardware/software gpu acceleration in IE, it also occurs in Firefox.
ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this. Which browser (and version) are you using? My question was as much about the performance of Flash player in a 64 bit environment as it was about the video playback hardware performance. I'm sceptical of the shared video memory and throughput performance of the Intel-based 4500HD graphics package in my laptop. I'm worried that it might not be sufficient for full-screen flash video playback, or for large external displays, so I'm trying to explain the poor platback performance that I'm seeing, and hopefully show that it's not the fault of the video HW.
Which video HW do you have in your dell?
Thanks

Flash Player v10 slow and crashy in Debian/Linux

Hello!
Is it me or is the latest Flash Player v10 plugin slow in
IceWeasel/SeaMonkey in 32-bit Debian/Linux? I could CPU usages were
high for Flash too. I have an Athlon 64 X2 dual core CPU with 3 GB
of RAM, EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB; NVIDIA drivers), etc.
I had WIndows XP Pro. SP2 and SeaMonkey, and no speed problems with
Flash v10.
I also noticed having Flash running and looking at settings,
my SeaMonkey Web browser crashes. :(
Thank you in advance. :)

I've discovered that with lastest alpha x64 native version I've more performance problem vs the wrapper/x86 version (on 64 bit system).
I've removed the native version (installed manually from me) and installed from synaptic the "flashplugin-nonfree" package (x86 version + wrapper), and created mms.cfg on /etc/adobe/mms.cfg with this line:
OverrideGPUValidation=true
This line can make system unstable (not my system).
If this happen, you can try to add on your firefox link this line before "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1" without quotes.
The result is:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 firefox
I hope this info can help Flash Linux community.

Flash Player 10.3 and Internet Explorer 9 update and workarounds

Hello Flash Player community,
We are tracking the issues being reported on Flash Player 10.3.181.14 and Internet Explorer 9 and actively investigating them. Users are reporting that Flash content is being displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. We want to give those who are encountering these issues an update.
First, we apologize to everyone affected. We know you count on Flash Player as an integral component of the web and we strive for high quality and performance in each release. We are actively looking into the root cause of this issue. Thanks to many of you submitting information via email and our online bug database, we now have some solid leads we are pursuing.
Flash Player 10 and later can use your system’s graphics hardware to accelerate video decoding, and can also accelerate video presentation on some sites. Starting with Flash Player 10.2, Flash Player will also take advantage of hardware accelerated graphics in Internet Explorer 9, utilizing hardware rendering surfaces to improve graphics performance.
With Flash Player 10.3.181.14, reports indicate that systems with Intel HD Graphics adapters running Internet Explorer 9 are the only systems impacted by this particular bug. If you are encountering this issue and have a different configuration we'd love to hear from you. Please review the instructions on this page for details on generating the information we'll need for further investigation.
Solution #1
Adobe has officially released Flash Player 10.3.181.16 for Internet Explorer to address the graphical issues introduced in 10.3.181.14. You can get this release by visiting our official download page, directly downloading and running the installer file, or using the Flash Player auto update mechanism.
After installing, we recommend you re-enable hardware acceleration if you had it previously disabled. We also recommend you clear your browser cache and restart your system.
If you continue to encounter issues, please create a new thread and we'll do our best to investigate further.
Solution #2
On some systems, you may be able to resolve this issue by updating the Intel HD Graphics drivers. It has been reported that driver versions 8.15.10.2361 and above do not exhibit this bug. Unfortunately, some systems might require updates directly from your system manufacturer. We’re working with system manufacturers to make sure they include the latest drivers in future releases.
Solution #3
You can disable hardware acceleration in Internet Explorer 9 using the instructions on this page. Please note that you should re-enable hardware acceleration once this problem has been resolved to enjoy the full benefits of hardware acceleration.
Thank you,
The Flash Player team
Update 5/20/11 - We've temporarily disabled the automatic update notification for Flash Player 10.3 and Internet Explorer. We're making progress on a fix and hope to have a new version available next week.
Update 5/24/11 - Added link to the 10.3.181.15 test update
Update 5/27/11 - Added instructions for post install of 10.3.181.15
Update 5/31/11 - Updated thread with the official 10.3.181.16 announcement

FOR THOSE RUNNING IE9 ON WINDOWS 7 AND HAVE INSTALLED THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE FOR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.3 - TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
Open IE9 Browser window > Click on "Tools" > Click on "Internet Options" > Selct the "Advanced" Tab > Turn on/Click the "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" > Click "Apply" > Click "OK" > Shut down and then restart your IE9 browser.
THIS WILL BE A TEMPORARY FIX FOR ANY ISSUES YOU MAY HAVE WITH THE CONSTANT FLOOD OF FLASHING ADS AND THE LIKE UNTIL A PATCH IS MADE AVAILABLE FOR THIS UPDATE.
OTHER QUICK FIXES WOULD INCLUDE:
1) UN-INSTALLING 10.3 AND RE-DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING 10.2 FOR THE TIME BEING. **BE SURE TO AVOID RE-INSTALLING THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE OF 10.3 AGAIN**
2) DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING "MOZILLA FIREFOX" AND USING IT AS YOUR WEB BROWSER!!

"Install Adobe Flash Player" is damaged and can't be opened

The subject line of this discussion is what is displayed when I go to try to install Adobe Flash. I have a Mac OS X 10.9.3. I had Flash downloaded for a while, but the last update wouldn't update. It would download, but then when I went to open it it would say "Retrieving Install" and the meter would remain at 0%. It never went a step beyond that. After trying many times, per the instructions of the website, I deleted Flash from my computer using the Adobe uninstaller downloaded from this site. Now that I am trying to reinstall Flash I keep getting the message "'Install Adobe Flash Player' is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image". What should I do from here? I would appreciate any help!

You should make sure you do a complete uninstall of the flash player first and then install the latest FP14 version from this link - Use http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g
In order to do a complete uninstall - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS

Videos that require flash player constantly restart and freeze

Running Windows 7 and have tried multiple browers and versions of Adobe Flash Player (all set back to the latest versions as of right now), and have updated my video drivers, but no matter what if I go on any website like YouTube that uses Flash Player, I can watch a video for a couple minutes and then Flash Player will freeze and reboot the video to the beginning. Closing out the window doesn't help, refreshing the page doesn't help either, it will still just let me watch for a few minutes and then freeze and restart. Very frusterated here, any idea what the problem is??

-Using 64 bit version and I've tried literally every available copy of Flash Player located in the archives. It only started doing this I'd say about a month ago maybe.
-Not sure which parts of the dxdiag report you need but this is the overall system info:

Flash Player, Adobe Reader and Java

It came to my surprise when I removed flash player, adobe reader and java (not the base) my system is not heating up while i am on youtube (as i am using html5). So this means there are some serious issues with flash player on mac.
My recommendation to people using flash is to stop using it.

Works fine for me - I haven't made the YouTube HTML5 transition yet - I suppose because I don't have any issues with Flash Player.
Adobe Reader shouldn't cause your system to overheat at all - I keep Adobe Acrobat XI Pro open 24/7.

Adobe flash player 10 .01 and Adobe flash player 10.32 for Firefox

I was told to download the latest version of Adobe flash I believe, that was 10.32, because now I have delete it. Both players, because I couldn't get it to install. I have shut down the manager on Firefox version on 3.5 I really would like to know before I download anything else, which ones to my supposed to have been exposed to have both of them running on Windows XP home edition service pack three and Internet Explorer seven, because I didn't think I needed to upgrade that to eight, it probably just be more headaches. I don't know, I just mean is that anybody have any ideas let me know.
One thing I have that is the problems with my
Attach Files (maximum: 3) can anyone tell me whether QuickTime player for Apple. Has anything to do with screwing this up, I updated it, because I mean to use it for my Kodak. So it says I'm not sure I just need help, quickly please. Thank you very much

I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
intended for and know it's not needed.
Thank You.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear. I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions. I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over. The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox. It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed. I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest. Getting very frustrated. They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments. I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

So is it actually installed, or is it not? If not, download and run the offline installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If it still does not work correctly, check

In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

Flash Player 9.x and 10.x crashes Mozilla Firefox 5.x and 6.x

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit with 8GB of RAM and plenty of hard drive space.
I've been unable to visit any Web site with Mozila Firefox 5.x and now 6.x that has Flash content. Previously I had Flash Player 9.x and it was updated on August 13, 2011 to version 10.3.183.5.
I've manually disabled ALL plugins and determined that if I enable only the Shockwave Flash 10.3.183.5 plugin and visit a site that uses Flash content, such as http://www.native-instruments.com, Firefox will instantly crash and present me with the Mozilla Crash Reporter.
I do not have this issue with Internet Explorer 9.x or Google Chrome 13.x.
Other than the long, involved procedure involving the Backdoor.Ulrbot.C virus that Mozilla Support describes, are there any other suggetions you might have.
Thanks very much.

Well, according to http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode,
You can elect to make the following changes:
Disable all add-ons: If you select this box and then click Make Changes and Restart then Firefox will start back up in its normal mode, except all your extensions, themes, and plugins will be disabled (not uninstalled).
So how can Flash Player plugin run in Firefox Safe Mode if it's a plugin and it's disabled?
I've already determined that Flash Player is the problem by having it as the only add-on (plugin) that's enabled. All other extensions and plugins except for Firefox are disabled. My theme is the default one.
The site I visit doesn't matter, if it has Flash content on the page I'm visiting Firefox instantly crashes.

Playback of flv using Flash Player 10.1 and Flash Media Interactive Server jerky.

Greetings:
Thanks for taking time to read this.
Here is our problem:
Playback of flv using Flash Player 10.1 and Flash Media Interactive Server jerky.
Playback ok if using Flash Player 10.0 with Flash Media Interactive Server.
1. Record live using Flash Media Interactive Server
2. Attempt to play back resulting flv using Flash Player 10.1 and Flash Media Interactive Server.
Video plays ok for a few seconds and then plays faster than as recorded -- very jerky.
Audio plays at normal rate.
OS: Windows 7 64bit (two different machines. All updates installed.)
Web browser: FireFox 3.6.10 and IE8 8.0.7600.16385
Flash version: 10.1.85.3
Tried with hardware acceleration on and off.
Note: Also had another person report the same thing on a Mac.
We had been using Flex 3, so we tried building with Flash Builder 4 – had the same problem.
This is a show stopper for us.
Tried using Wowza and everything worked.
We’re dropping FMIS and switching to Wowza.
If someone can suggest something else to try, we would appreciate it.

Hi Greg,
So if I understand correctly, your findings are:
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Flash Media Interactive Server = Jerky Video
Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Flash Media Interactive Server = Smooth Video
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Wowza = Smooth Video
And what about Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Wowza?
Also, if you could check the network traffic to confirm if it's Flash Player causing the issue or it is receiving it like that from FMIS.
Cheers
--Vikas
