    For myself, I use FP12 and run OBS in the background to obtain the more fluid runs while playing. Of course, there will be the few plays that are bad with FPS but after dealing with it for so long, it really doesn't affect my scores anymore (except it always affects amazing accuracy because timing window).

      Zenith did you check your settings for this? This solved Hakus problem who also used the OBS method, and i think this solves that stutter, I bet your min cpu state is 100%

          Flash player 12, as opposed to 11 or 10 when using a standalone.

          Standalone info can be found here: http://ffr.wikia.com/wiki/FFR_Standalone

          And you really ought not to play FFR in a browser.

          Edit: Some people have had better luck with fp9 even, but I haven't tested this threads fix with those people so idk if fp version will even be very relevant after this, could use some feedback from fp9 users prior to this fix, assuming it impacted you

            That just shows how much I've been out of the loop with FFR.

              It's never too late, follow wikia guides on standalone, performance, and check the "guide" in this thread and read this threads posts and that should be all the things (so far). I'm not sure FFR can be much more optimized beyond this point until windows does something else terrible

                    Was at 5%, went to 0%, not much of a difference yet

                      oh well if you just need to kill transparency, it's in the color options

                      Settings > Personalization > Colors > go to the bottom and turn off "Make Start, taskbar and action center transparent"

                      the one thing that this doesn't kill is the shading on open windows; i haven't figured that one out yet. windows are opaque by default but they drop shadows around their sides. i have a matlab program that produces 144 figures and it looks awful when they all stack lol

                          100% is definitely the worst setting it can be, 1% and 5% being other values I've seen set arent nearly as impactful but I can't think of a reason they shouldn't be 0%

                          SHADOWS:

                          The drop shadows on applications in the Windows 10 preview are really big and suspiciously similar to the ones in OS X, and if they aren't your speed, you can easily remove them.

                            This explains why gaming in general on my laptop is garbage

                                You prolly wanna play with those settings a fair bit to see if anything else improves performance
