I am playing on chrome and its been working fine for me so far... I don't know what's wrong with yours? Have you tried other browser?

OK, here goes. I'm not sure it will help everyone having an issue playing AL in chrome.

*Windows 7 is my OS

1. Right Click on desktop
2. Screen Resolution
3. >Advanced Settings
4. >Monitor Tab
5. Check the screen refresh rate. Mine used to be 25 Hz Deinterlaced and was consuming 95+% of CPU whenever AL was running
6. Change it to 50-60Hz.

This solved my problem, give it a try. If it still doesn't work, try tweaking your graphics card settings with regards to Chrome.

SOLUTION FOR ALL PEOPLE WITH THE GOOGLE CHROME AUTO-UPDATE PROBLEM


First, thanks to Greencrow for this thread.
It took me a while but now it works like before the update.


After installing the old Chrome Version (26.0.1410.3_chrome_installer) i had the problem that it gets instantly updated by Google Updater.
I had no old_chrome(.exe) in the folder so i decided to uninstall & reinstall my Chrome.

This is how i did it.

1) Uninstall Google Chrome & restart your computer
2) Download an old Google Chrome standalone Version (http://tinyurl.com/p4dnvxx)
3) Shut down your internet connection and install the Google Chrome standalone Version
4) Press [WINDOWS-KEY]+[R] and type in msconfig -> Startup -> Disable GoogleUpdater.exe
5) Vista/7: Press [WINDOWS-KEY]+[R] again and type in taskschd.msc -> delete all Google Chrome Tasks
5.1) XP: Go to Control Panel -> got to Schedule Task -> delete all Google Chrome Tasks
6) Where did you install Google Chrome? (Mine is in C: Programs -> Google)
6.1) Go to the Update folder and delete GoogleUpdate(.exe) IF you want you can do the difficult way...however, it is not necessary (Wowsome link: http://tinyurl.com/p3xldjf) You have to do this because the GoogleUpdate(.exe) can check for an update EVEN when you disabled it in the Startup (Point 4)!!!
6) Restart your internet connection and open Google Chrome
7) As soon as Google Chrome starts type about: plugins in the search bar - search for "Google Update" and deactivate it
8) Open AL - you'll get the information "Uh-oh! Chrome failed to start our game. Press this button to see the updated news on this issue!"
9) Follow the steps by STS: http://support.spacetimestudios.com/...rt-our-game%22 or http://support.spacetimestudios.com/...-google-chrome
(the first one worked for me: type about:flags in the search bar -> activate GPU -> relaunch Chrome -> set it back on default -> relaunch Chrome)
10) Open AL again and (hopefully) be happy

What do u mean "shut down internet connection and then installing old version"? U know u can't accses internet without internet connnection-right?
