I have absolutely no idea why this thread was made. All of the information that is needed to run the standalone can be found in the Temporary FAQ thread. I'm going to elaborate this as much as I can.

Tools needed:
- FFR's engine links.
Velocity Engine | Legacy Engine

- Macromedia Flash Player 8, or Adobe Flash Player 9/10. You do not need the physical .swf to run FFR - having the .swf will cause authentication conflicts due to server-side .php files not being referenced properly within the engine (as you'll be running the game LOCALLY if you're offline).

If you're using Velocity's engine, simply plug in the link given above, and it should ask you for your username and password.

If you're using the Legacy engine, continue down to the Internet Explorer area.

- Internet Explorer (referred to as IE). If you're using the legacy engine with Flash Player 9 or Flash Player 10, you're going to need IE to save your authentication settings. Go to FFR's homepage, type in your username and password, and make sure that you check off the Remember Me box. Once you do that, you can open your Flash Player and it should keep all of your settings saved.

Note: if you're using Velocity's engine, you can authenticate yourself right within the engine.

Flash Player Links:
Windows: Macromedia Flash Player 8 | Adobe Flash Player 9 | Adobe Flash Player 10
Mac: Adobe Flash Player 9 | Adobe Flash Player 10
Linux: Adobe Flash Player 10

For those of you running Linux and wanting to use an older version of Flash Player, I couldn't find a link for Flash Player 9 - you're going to have to emulate it using WINE.

Get it here: WINE

If you have Flash 9 on your computer for any reason on linux, run this command:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree

Install Flash 10 using this terminal command:

Code:

$ sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb

Macromedia Flash Player 8 and Adobe Flash Player 9 are very widely used, but Adobe Flash Player 9 is more stable. Macromedia Flash Player 8 has a tendency to crash for certain users/computers, so you're better off not using the link.

Some people recommend Gamebooster, but it doesn't effect performance all that much for newer computers that can run FFR well, so it's not worth putting a link up. It's easy to find - just search IOBit Gamebooster and you should find the latest version.

This will help your gameplay a good deal, but it can be improved even more on those of you using Windows - if you turn your graphic properties down to 16 bit, and use the "Windows Classic" theme, you're reducing the amount of memory your dwm.exe process uses dramatically. It's a minimum amount in terms of memory, but your computer has considerably less graphics to render.

I hope that helps.
