Browser game optimization

RTCW: performance & optimization FAQ

Why does Wolfenstein take so long on the first visit?

The project lists an initial download of about 380 MB and caches it for later visits. Let it finish on a stable connection and avoid clearing the host's site data between sessions. Compare frame rate only after mp_beach is loaded; download speed and rendering speed are separate.

What browser checks should I try for RTCW?

Keep the game tab visible and pause other games or video. If Chrome Energy Saver is active, compare with it off while plugged in; restore it if there is no benefit. Change one thing at a time and repeat the same scene. Export any available save backup before clearing site data or switching browser profiles.
