Server takes time to update on users leaving in IE7

Postby tzachs » February 6th, 2011, 1:44 pm

Hi all!
Wasn't sure where to post this, I hope this is the right place.

I'm developing my game with Flash. I put the client code in GameFS, downloaded the Tiny Loader and put it on the web.
Now here's the problem:
If I'm playing the game on IE7, and then exit the tab, the server takes a few minutes until he recognizes that I left.
In Google Chrome it works instantly.
In IE7 it works instantly only if I close all tabs, but if I close only this one tab it takes a lot of time (more than reasonable) to recognize it, and this can cause big problems with how the game looks to the users.

Is there something that can be done here (this is easily reproducible to me)?
Thanks.

Sounds like it takes a bit for IE7 to correctly destroy the flash object, not much we can do about that sadly.

OK, thank you anyway for your quick response.
I'll try to figure out how to minimize the problem on my side.
