Re: Lots-o-Lag

Is there some process (coughfirefoxcough) that's sapping all your memory? If so get rid of it. And play on low quality.

Because less available RAM = lag
You know nothing about computers and therefore should not give computer advice.


But yeah I don't know an awful lot about Macs but it doesn't surprise me that it would be difficult to downgrade software on one since Apple tends to make their products more restrictive. There's probably a work around though if you google it.

Re: Lots-o-Lag

That wide screen FFR is better, but it still lags to the point that I cannot play. I always take the quality down, my flash is updated as far as I know and when I tried that url to change to flash 9, the mac software doesn't work...ughhh I just want to play my beloved ffr again lol

It had nothing to do with the URL. You want flash to NOT be updated. The URL has to be exact when you use the standalone, and it'll run just fine.

Re: Lots-o-Lag

I've been looking around for a little bit and figured this would be the best place to post considering I don't want to make a new thread based on the same problem.

The difference is I use a PC laptop with XPSP3.

I've never had a problem before with ffr before it had gone down for that year (yeah I'm just now coming back to play again). I also have massive issues with lag, but more than that I also seem to have massive latency with keystrokes for ffr to register (both the version on the front page with MP and Velocity's engine). I know my processor isn't exactly the best but is the new engines that much more intensive that I can't even play anymore when I had absolutely no problem before? My processor isn't exactly the greatest but I do have 1.93GB of RAM, so memory is definitely not the issue here.

I mean, I have no troubles running things like Lunatic Rave 2 and sm-ssc without any sort of latency and lag.

I did try uninstalling flash whatever version they are on now and going to flash 9 but I didn't see any difference at all with what's going on.

And no, it isn't my keyboard nor the key layout I use. I don't have problems with those at all in sm. I don't run anything else in the background and with task manager running, I only have 29 processes running, most of which are not using much processing power at all nor use up a lot of memory. Firefox and the flash plugin take up the most memory when I have ffr running.

I'm guessing it's more problematic on my end, but the latency issue boggles me unless flash really hates my laptop (which wouldn't surprise me at all <.<).
