ATTN: d4u7211
Twilight, I know you're an admin and whatnot, but don't lock a thread if a person hasn't gotten their answer; the least you could have done is linked them to a thread where someone had the same issue resolved - can you imagine how frustrating it would be for you if you had some sort of a problem and had absolutely no idea that it had been resolved for another person?
d4u: I'm running a Windows 7 computer and because of Flash 10, it tends to have a lag issue on any browser. To alleviate this, download Macromedia's Flash 8 standalone (I've uploaded it for you, click here). Once you have this, open IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, click on the Security tab, and then uncheck Enable Protected Mode. Close IE and log back into FFR, making sure that you checked the Remember Me box. Open the standalone I've provided, go to File -> Open, and then type the link to the .swf (link is http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrndanotherway.swf). It should pick up your log in, stats, credits, etc. (If IE is your default browser, enable Protected Mode once you're finished playing FFR.) EDIT: Flash 8 has been smooth for me and all of the engine's features work for me. However, if the lag issues continue, you can try a standalone of Flash 9. ***Note that this is a temporary fix and might not work for everyone. Last edited by TC_Halogen; 10-16-2010 at 08:23 PM.. |

If this is a solution that proves to work for a majority of FFR's players, someone who's on staff can sticky any of the threads with the solution, or create a new one that has it in a single post.

Re: ATTN: d4u7211
I locked the thread due to some posts that were not erm, helpful to the thread, and that the issue may or may not have been identified (or at least the cause). Either way, I see your concern... Could've done better on it, I agree. I apologize to the thread owner and to TC_Halogen (whom saw the issue).
Just for the record, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3, Firefox 3.6.10 and the latest version of flash player. I might give your method a try later. By the way, is anyone getting random misses while they play? I think it might be random, short lag points. |

Re: ATTN: d4u7211
Vista is commonly known to have issues with FFR - it spikes every 20-40 frames, with the intensity of each spike varying computer to computer. Some have very minor spikes, while others have extremely strong ones that are simply unbearable. If the OS is Vista, there's really not too much that can be done to my knowledge.

Re: ATTN: d4u7211
If the OS is Vista, 'bout the only few things I can suggest doing to improve performance without altering flash player versions is disabling the sidebar, switching to the Basic theme (disabling aero desktop) or disabling addons in your browser that use many resources.

Re: ATTN: d4u7211
I had made a thread on the random misses earlier, I chalked it up to lag.
Oddly enough it hasn't happened since, i'm doing just fine and all of my misses are human error. |

Re: ATTN: d4u7211
Not sure if this will work but if both of you guys use windows 7 then try having aero enabled. However, i don't think this will work with the standalone.

Re: ATTN: d4u7211
I'm using XP and I'm still getting the "random misses" thing. I hit the buttons, but miss/boo everything. Well, I'm not pushing anything to site admins, just mentioning a problem, since everything is still under maintenance, maybe a few things could get "under the radar".

Re: ATTN: d4u7211
Well, it seems as though it HAS worked, the lag was gone (in terms of how bad it was before) but it seems now its just having input issues. So the problem was solved but then a new problem arised...Thanks a ton for the help, Halogen. Hopefully editing PC settings will alleviate the input problems.
And yeah, its Vista but whats strange is that before flash 10 was released, i AAA'd 300 on this pc on my first try, hadnt played ffr/sm in three weeks, on the lightdarkness mirror. So it's not my pc per se, but since the standalone is having problems, im pointing the error to the fact my pc cant run flash that well by itself (using as .exe) and cant run flash 10 for crap in general. |

Re: ATTN: d4u7211
Does anyone experience any less lag with the new version out?
