Velocity Engine

StringsnKeys · 02-17-2011, 09:14 PM

Hey guys, I've noticed that playing on the new velocity engine makes the game lag a lot more than the original version. The velocity engine is of course a million times better and I'd much rather play on it but most of the time it is laggy for me. I have a brand new computer with an i7 and gtx 460 amongst other things so I don't think it's my computer. I seriously doubt it's the internet connection because I was downloading a movie earlier at 1.4 MB/s and was playing other flash games that had no lag whatsoever. I never play with any other programs open while playing FFR. Is there some way to tweak flash to make FFR run better for me? I need help.

are you playing it on a flash player or an internet browser? If you are playing playing on firefox, ie, etc. then I think that's your problem.

StringsnKeys · 02-17-2011, 09:30 PM

I'm playing it on firefox. What should I be doing?

Download Flash Player 9, sorry I don't have a link at the moment
Open this in your flash player http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...y/ffr_Wide.swf

Is there a way to make the game window smaller? I have trouble playing when the game is that large? Is there a way to re-size it?

**Hakulyte** · 02-17-2011, 11:00 PM

If you re-size the window, it should re-size it.

regardless, it's laggy. I play on a standalone and it's terrible. The lag is so bad you can't AAA any song

StringsnKeys · 02-17-2011, 11:14 PM

Yeah, it still lags in the stand alone player. I don't know a lot about coding but is it possible that the velocity engine could be edited to be more efficient? Obviously the work done so far is amazing, and I know that the engine is being improved every day but is possible that coding could be causing the lag? I'm not trying to whine about it, because I'm going to play regardless, I just wanted to see if there was a known reason for the lag. Thanks for your help so far. I have nothing but praise for the work being done since the site came back. Keep it up.

What's you computer specs?

**Hakulyte** · 02-17-2011, 11:24 PM

Actually, I was lag-free for a while here but I also eventually started lagging much more out of nowhere with standalone. Not freezes, just frameskips from time to time.

I've been playing on velo's engine for months now. I'm sure I've AAA'd stuff in that time. I can AAA 11s on it, so apparently your computer sucks.

To OP, Download Gamebooster, Change to Classic theme instead of Aero, as well as playing in the standalone. I rarely get lag, like, once a week or something. And I mean a single lag spike.

i ran into a weird bug the other day with velocity engine + standalone.. recover wasnt working, and every note i hit counted as both a boo, and whatever timing i hit it at.. heres a replay of the bug:

It happens, and I have no way to force it to happen nor fix it. Just ignore it and restart the standalone.

alright, thanks. wasnt sure if you were aware of it or not.. thought id bring it to your attention

I might be crazy, but the velocity engine seems to love to crash whatever it's running in. I tried running it in the standalone, I use chrome as my main browser and it crashes both near the beginning of songs pretty frequently. It's always as soon as I hit a key, so I think the bug might reside in key press code, or the arrow hit event code.

I dump random goods on Velo's engine, and it's really slow when you're in let's say, Dance 2, and you hit the arrow to change genres, it takes a while. It's faster on the Legacy engine, nevertheless; It's a good improvement to the original, I just wouldn't prefer it.

ghost- · 02-20-2011, 09:03 PM

Gotta new problem for ya Vel.

I open up the .swf in flash player 9 and everything's going good. But then I see that I'm not logged in, how to fix? all my setting are the same and everything works just fine, it's just that I'm not logged in.

**Velocity** · 02-20-2011, 09:05 PM

You need to login using Internet Explorer, if your on Vista or Windows 7, you also need to disable "Protected Mode" in the settings. Just read the topic on using a standalone.

**TC_Halogen** · 02-20-2011, 09:06 PM

Have you done all of the necessary steps to be logged in on the standalone (logged into IE, protected mode off, remember me, etc.)?

If you're logged out of IE, log back into it and make sure you check "Remember Me". If it doesn't work after that, then you might have something to show to Velocity.

EDIT: ninja'd like hell, lol
