Songs will not begin.

goboenomo · 11-15-2010, 03:15 AM

I have tried a few songs now. When I click to play, it loads, shows my arrows, but the song and matching arrows do not start. Already tried reloading, rebooting, and pausing firewalls,

Type of computer / OS / browser / any plugins that may interfere / version of flash?

Oh hey Patashu. This is Zzyxk, the random guy from the stepmania forums looking for harder stuff :P.

My directdiag isn't giving me the type. I get "System Manufacturer: system manufacturer"

But Windows XP Home / firefox / Kaspersky URL advisor, chatzilla / .803

Oh, given that another topic cropped up, sounds like the game got screwed up.

Solution: wait for it to be fixed

goboenomo · 11-15-2010, 03:34 AM

Grrr my buddy is playing it on my laptop just fine.

**Patashu** · 11-15-2010, 03:45 AM

I see.

Try changing your browser
Try restarting your computer
Steal his laptop

Rixeri · 11-15-2010, 09:00 AM

Same problem here. The game starts and when i click the "play" button it goes to the playing screen. The arrows are there but no music is playing and no arrows are coming.

**psychoangel691** · 11-15-2010, 12:33 PM

Possible sound driver issues? I had to install some different drivers on either this laptop or my other I can't remember now because it wasn't working right. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

**chocobothief12** · 11-15-2010, 12:36 PM

I don't know what the heck I did to my IE, but it worked fine until I cleared everything. Now I'm having the same problem with songs just being black screens, or just auto ending as soon as they load.

**Raining Nails** · 11-15-2010, 12:49 PM

Hi - I don't post often (as you can probably tell)

I'm having the same problem - since about 20 minutes ago. Happening in all browsers.

**HoneyMelonCalibrator** · 11-15-2010, 12:59 PM

Try re-entering your speed, and then make sure to click "set speed" once you have. I know that if you set the speed to a ridiculously high speed, audio will be present, but moving arrows don't show up.

Toojdwin · 11-15-2010, 02:35 PM

I have the same problem. Obviously it's a problem on their end, since multiple people started experiencing this at the same time.

Shade-of-Ai · 11-15-2010, 02:53 PM

Same here. It was fine an hour ago, and now they won't start.

**Garquillex** · 11-15-2010, 03:17 PM

same baloney

I was all hyped up to play too
It was working all day until just now

Actually it's not even loading the songs. It just goes 0 > 100 > Blackness

Ooh! The FFR Beta is working for me though.

Xyth · 11-15-2010, 03:17 PM

My problem is that I start a song, it loads and immidiatly ends before anything happens. ^Same problem as garquillex^

Still works at ffr.lightdarkness.net/FFR/ I go there for backup... unranked but you still get to play =)

**BethanyBangs** · 11-15-2010, 04:26 PM

Beta works

**Psychotik** · 11-15-2010, 07:38 PM

Doesn't work on IE. It's the only browser for me that doesn't lag.

**jarsh** · 11-15-2010, 07:54 PM

Songs don't work for me either. It immediately says 100% and the user arrows show up, but the song doesn't begin and arrows don't fall. It'll let you get boos though.

SolMerc · 11-15-2010, 08:02 PM

Did anybody else notice as well, that when it doesn't start the songs, it displays your name as Anonymous on the bottom of the game screen... ?

**aperson** · 11-15-2010, 11:08 PM

Resolved, see front page.
