Re: Getting around Vista Lag?

it's not a matter of constant offset, it's a matter of small blips of un-noticable lag that turn your 3rd frame perfect hit into a 4th frame good hit.

I use flash 9 and it works well. I barely lag anymore.

Re: Getting around Vista Lag?

I'm confused as to what you mean by this.

Let's say i wanted to play
Perfect Cherry Storm, how would i tell what offset to use?

Oh!

In the options settings, the offset is basically a feature you can use to sync a song that's offbeat due to incorrect gap (i.e. offsync throughout the whole song). Offset is a set amount of time added or subtracted to get a file onsync. For instance, if the arrows are arriving too late, you would use a negative offset (e.g. -1) to subtract the excess amount of time that's causing the arrows to fall behind. Conversely, if the arrows are arriving too soon, you would use a positive offset (e.g. +1) to add additional time. All in all, the offset helps offsync songs to be onsync.

Before this feature was introduced, I got a lot of goods due to trying to distinguish the misalignment between the arrows and the song.

Offset differs from computer to computer (things to consider: the time it takes to press a key on your keyboard, the sound coming out of your speakers/headphones, etc.). For me, nearly all of the songs I play have a -1 offset. Imagine how I would fare if this feature didn't exist.

it's not a matter of constant offset, it's a matter of small blips of un-noticable lag that turn your 3rd frame perfect hit into a 4th frame good hit.

In your case I guess so. But we're still trying to diagnose Litholia's issue first.

Thanks for clearing that up, I guess I'll try and mess with it a bit more. As of Flash 8-10, i don't see any difference in game play amongst the 3 different Players.

As far as my PA goes, it has improved quite a bit, but not were it should be, i know my keyboard may be a factor, but not enough to get 40 goods on MOONBEAM, lol.

However, I did drop from 100 goods on Blaze to 55, which is obviously a big improvement, thanks to you guys. So cheers!
