Looks like they updated to try to prevent people from going directly to the .swf. Now the swf tries to send you to the main page unless you stop it. Poor choice, IMO, as it causes more web traffic with little gain. Though maybe the servers might empty out a bit... (BAD THING)

If it is because they want more ad views... I don't know how they could solve that, especially because so many people have ad blockers, and letting people go directly to the .swf means fewer of the people who don't block ads skip them anyway.

I don't mind the ads, but being able to see somewhat offscreen is too important.

And how do you 'stop it' ?

Also, when I go direct to the .swf I just get a "wrong version, clear cache" message. That's good cause it means they store something on the client, which increases performance I guess.

Yes, except now I can't play. Because I can't use the scrollwheel to turn things as a shaman without scrolling the webpage as well. With the header image, it's too large to fit in a 768-high screen.

You can use ctrl and LSHIFT to rotate, too.

And how do you 'stop it' ?

Browser stop button. Might only work while their servers are slow and/or on older browsers that don't clear the page immediately.

What, did everone go back to en?

En1 is much easier to stay on the direct swf, cause it does it slower.
edit: To that , I advise we switch to EN for now. it's more stable I think anyway.
