Lagging way too much?

gta0004 · 01-15-2011, 12:08 AM

I know when the site came back up it had frequent lag issues... but then it barely happened to me and i could just refresh it away. Now it lags up every game that i play and it wont fix itself, wth?

What browser do you use to play FFR? What engine are you using? Assuming you're using the main engine, I would suggest you try using Velocity's engine..it reduces lag significantly and has additional features that could help even further reduce your lag. I'll provide you with the link.

Standalone

Right Click on the menu
Settings > DISABLE hardware acceleration

I found that it reduced my lag by quite a bit!

Also download Game booster 2.1 - it shuts down all unnecessary background programs, so you'll have more speed for FFR.

You can also try zooming out, that always works for me. Not the best fix, but its quick. And also try pressing the Q button to lower the quality.

I have found that the velocity engine does not help with lag. it increases it. especially the beta velocity engine.

So sometimes i swear i hit a key, but it doesnt register. Is that related to lag or are there some keys that dont register?

It's because of a conflict between the FFR client and Flash 10 (under windows). It causes major lag and key misses. Both my friend and I have the same problem. There are solutions in this thread but it's either manually downgrade your flash player (causing some sites not to work right) or disable security on internet explorer iirc. I found that there are no conflicts in flash 10 under linux, so you could also create a live cd like I did and pop it in when you want to play.

I've found some lag in FFR.
I'll be getting perfects and then randomly for no reason get a Good.

So I've never been able to AAA a song using FFR. That is why I look at everyones scores with 2000 odd Perfects and think...how?

EDIT:

The Velocity one improves matters considerably for myself

Okay, never mind. On slower songs yes, but not faster ones

EDIT 2:

Oh, I never got complete fall outs on the original engine... I did quite a few times on a couple of songs on that engine.

OMFG I love you dude! This actually worked for me I've been trying to get rid of this lag on this damn computer for a long ass time then I read your post, downloaded gameboost, and now my computer's running fast again! Thank you so much man you really saved me. God bless your soul PrawnSkunk!

Edit: Never mind, it went back to shit again.

Standalone?
I've heard about it, but haven't been sure where to get it it

gamebooster + standalone flash 9 + disable acceleration + Random day luck = No lag...
i mean, it is way better when u use these 3 things, but you have to be in a lucky day or else it will lag for no reason, i can't understand.. it depends on the day and time
