I am getting pretty tired of fb slow loading of the game and the fact that it crashes all the time or has a white screen of death or takes too much RAM I mean what fb game takes 500MB! Besides flash... So I think that the game interface should be made available to legion forums under the condition there should be a fb login sign in the actual forum not just a spammer though the use of the API code and PHP codes in the pre-loading screen.

maybe you should try a different browser like chrome or firefox
...and maybe you should post in the Issues and Support forum about your crashing issues

........and... maybe you should explain a little better what exactly you're wanting in this suggestion

Many games have direct access outside of facebook (Superhero city, Castle Age, Starfleet Commander). By having this 'punch out' people don't have to have FB open, the game logs in via their FB account.

I believe it lets them sell their equivalent of Galaxy points directly to consumers.

You can still play through FB but it does tend to run smoother and with a lot less memory.

The AJAX requests for the popups, if you have a long session, can cause memory leaks. This isn't GL directly. FF8 seems to have reduced the impact of this, and Chrome never had much of a problem with it. Over time the browser process will approach 1.5gb memory usage then die.

However, if you have low memory to begin with it will start swapping to disk then it will be very slow or non responsive. That is a separate issue. Recommend at least 2-3 GB of memory for any system. Also FF has MemoryFox plugin which will collect fragments more aggressively, which tends to cause less memory waste.

Ok for those who want:
Stats:
OS: Windows Vista
OS Version: Business @Build: 25012.52
Memory: 2GB
Web Browser: Chrome
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @2.26 Ghz
Brand: Lenovo
Model: SL500

Clarification:
I meant those who have a forum for their legions should embed the game API/code into the interface of forum in question. Like say my legion is Stargate Command SG2 and it is. http://stargatecommand.cixx6.com be made available to the legions leaders and officers to embed it into the code.
So that legion players don't need to login to facebook. All they need to do is to login to the forum and the games API will kick in by having the frame open up and voila the game is loaded on the forum.

lol :D No I don't use Windows ME thank you very much.
But GL in facebook does tend to consume 500MB of memory

that's what i figured you meant... just wanted to be sure

here's the deal.... the game requires a login to facebook because your facebook ID is what identifies your GalaxyLegion game account

How about placing a fb sign on the forum and then in the frame, if it requires a login redirect it to the apps.facebook.com/galaxylegion then copy over the entire code that is used... and voila it works.
Or Dan can find somewhere in the code to let you login using the GL forum user-names and password.
So I should look like the forum login and using the mysql database on this website to the game.
Or have facebook extract our id's and give them to us and we can login using that.

You might want to use the Contact this app / developer link at the bottom of the game to talk to Dan directly on Facebook.
I'm sure he will give you a good answer as to whether or not this will happen.
