    Regarding the cute Vista lag:

    Yep. It's me, the guy you've never seen before!
    No, I don't AAA FGO songs, and the Vista lag is *not* the reason why I can't do that (unfortunately). But getting a load extra goods when I'm trying to pull some nice VC ranks is sort of annoying. Playing Blue Noah and Blue Army is literally bad for my selfesteem.

    Anyways, I severly improved my PA after doing these things:
    • Changing from Internet Explorer to FireFox (runs .flash scripts better than IE on Vista)
    • Reducing the FFR flash window quality to lowest (duh, really?).
    • Click F11 to make your internet reader fullscreen.
    • Ctrl + alt + del = set priority of FireFox 32* process to 'high' priority to avoid Vista doing other stuff than making FFR go around.


    And for you subscribers, you will just have to live with the little lag that is left.
    However, for us freebies, there is still one big factor that helps Vista rape our PA on FFR. Yep, it's the adbanners! They are flash scripts too, and makes FFR twice as hard to run on Vista.
    I do recommend subscribing to solve this problem, but for those of us that earns less than 15 dollars a year, do this:

    Right click the banner
    Now there are a couple of options, lots of boring ones. The 4 interesting ones are Play, Loop, Quality and 'Rewind'. If both Play and Loop are active, click rewind to ''deactivate' the banner, now it will only be a frozen picture that's not updating. If only 'loop' is enabled, simply turn off loop if 'rewind' doesn't work. It will have the same effect. Now, reduce the quality of the frozen banner by clicking on 'Quality' that appears after right clicking the banner. Guess what to change it to?
    And then we're down to the cute little lag that most subscribers complain about. I would recommend a new computer, but I tried that myself and boy, that was money down the bin.

    And for those of you who keep haunting the 'Vista lag' threads, this is basicly for getting SDG on Very Challenging songs and up, and AAA for you that own me on this game, so that you play Mario 8-bit dreamer without failing really doesn't prove anything.

    So, did that help anyone else than me?

        I just play SM a lot and got used to the lag. Once you become accustomed to the lag it's fine.
