(3)Windows/browser settings
When you play a nightmare game and misclick a spreadsheet icon on the desktop, excel will start to run and your SAS4 character will die. Similarly, if you misclick ‘close’ button on the browser, the game will be quit and you’ll lose the nightmare ticket. To handle safely your mouse cursor far and wide through the screen, get rid of every troublesome object from the screen . One simple answer to that is to play in fullscreen mode of the browser. You can set it from the right top menu or just pressing F11 key.
However, fullscreen mode has another issue about smoothness of playing swf files. There is the fact – The larger the screen is, the more lags you’ll get.
In conclusion, you need proper size of game screen with no obstructionist around. This is it: SAS4 SWFs
Even in the fullscreen mode, Windows taskbar can possibly interrupt the game.
You can stop it by putting off the taskbar setting “Automatically hide the taskbar”
