Lag and Tokens

jake.schires · 05-11-2008, 04:44 PM

Okay my first question is about lag. When ever I play a song my computer usally lags twice, which are the major lags where I miss anything that is coming. How do I reduce lag? I don't have anything running on my computer.

And also, I do not understand how to get tokens. I've looked and I can't find anything about how to get them. Anyone willing to explain?

LAG:
Post your computer specs (Right click My Computer and go to Properties)

TOKENS:
Normal tokens are obtained from finding them all around the site. Hints are on the normal token page.
Skill tokens are obtained by achieving a certain condition upon completing a song.

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

Anything else?

It may be a lack of RAM or your internet connection. Also use IE or download Flash Beta for FireFox.

maybe more RAM? it helps, and what about ur videocard?

Edit: yea internet could be the problem too.
Edit2: OK u should get more RAM maybe 512 or 1024 i have 1024 and ive never had a lag..

He has more than enough CPU power to make up for a video card in FFR. I run at 1.6GHz single core on my laptop and it's fine.

Might also try turning down quality by clicking the little "q" button on the top left of the screen 3 times.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-11-2008, 05:37 PM

it is also possible you have a program running in the background that you don't know about? that is sending data off at intervals?

I only get lag from that stupid animated VVR banner. Whenever I see it, I refresh until I get a non-animated one.

That helped a little, but I think I am going to by more RAM sometime this week.

I have checked to see if there is anything running that would slow down my computer, but I made everything that wasn't importent stop running, and still that didn't do much.

Do you by any chance know where to get Flash Beta?

**Coolboyrulez0** · 05-11-2008, 07:24 PM

Do not triple post please.
Also close all tabs, antivirus programs and stuff running in the background or on your taskbar. It will decrease the lag for sure.

I have 2 gigs of ram and my computer still lags once in a while, so if you got a bit more ram than you'd probably be better off (I lag mainly to the fact that I have 8 other processes running on my computer at the same time as playing a FFR song most of the time). The tokens... just go the the token section and look at the hints and crap... I'm not that good at finding them either.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-11-2008, 07:41 PM

if you aren't, i'd recommend playing FFR in either IE7 or FireFox 3 Beta 5. FireFox 2 seems to not handle FFR well for many people.

Magewout · 05-12-2008, 09:45 AM

Also, don't run keycounting programs like WhatPulse. Oh, and lowest quality + low res helps me a LOT. Annoying when you want to screenshot your scores though, makes them virtually unreadable.

**sumzup** · 05-12-2008, 01:43 PM

I get lag because I have 40-50 tabs in Firefox at any given time + only 768 MB of RAM. I'll live with it for now.

**hi19hi19** · 05-12-2008, 11:32 PM

If you check Alt+ctrl+del for random crap processes that are sucking up RAM. Often my computer starts up two or three firefox.exe when I click the shortcut, I start getting massive lag and have to go into the task manager to squash them myself.
