    I believe I found a Game Glitch.

    Since nobody has reported this, I believe it's limited to Vista only (yeah, I play on it.....and it's severely limiting my ability to get things like AAAs now that I've AAA'ed all the real easy songs). Whenever I press arrows on streams/slow trills (often found on many Standard Songs), my timing is consistent throughout. But for no reason, I suddenly get what I call a good-average, because even when my timing stays the same, I get it for no reason.

    Now if my timing was too fast/too slow, I'd get a good(s) almost instantly. But I don't. I almost always go dozens, even hundreds of arrows before getting it. Yet my time of pressing was no different.

    I have reason to believe it's a glitch because, like the average-miss fix, does not show up properly on replays. Instead, it shows up as two goods on the score sheet and all perfects in the replay (I always do AAAs on autofail for 1 boo/miss/average/good by the way). Here is an example:

    http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...play/16321204/

    If this turns out to be a legitimate glitch, then I'm going to hack my mom's computer, take the code that makes up XP, and put it on my computer (and I don't care if it fails, it's better than having Vista ).

    On a side note, I BF'ed that song earlier when the song slowed down on the last roll.....

    P.S I mostly notice this phenomenon with autofails set on, but then again I never pay attention to perfects when it's off. I think it's occured without it on, but I can't remember well enough to tell you reliably.

    P.P.S I've never seen this happen on XP, which fuels my belief that it is Vista related (I've heard Vista makes you suck at FFR anyways).

    I'm sure this is the computer, and not the game. Never happened to me.

    AND YES. Vista is FFR's worst nightmare.

          Yeah, somebody sigged that, but I don't remember who...

          [rant]I don't know exactly what Vista does, all I know is that IT IS PISSING ME OFF. ..l. you Microsoft.[/rant]

          Sorry. But I have all sorts of issues with Vista, and it's not limited to FFR...but if gets any worse, this is the last straw. Vista is hitting where it hurts: ruining FFR for me.

          P.S If anybody can give specifics, I'd love to hear them (I think average-misses and random goods are just two of them).

            this happens when you have auto-fail on? that's why. you have auto-fail set to 1 good. so then you get the 1 good, and it fails you out... only, it doesn't fail you out INSTANTLY, it takes... a fraction of a second. but it stops the progression of the arrows instantly. which results in you still hitting the next arrow after the one you got the good on, but since it didn't move up, you get an average on it. or a boo. or whatever.

            that explain it?

                  also, i watched the replay.... if anything, this shows a bug in the replay system. which would also make more sense. especially in conjunction with what i mentioned above.

                    Ohh...well if that's the case then that is a relief...but there's one thing. It doesn't show right in replays. Why is that?
