    Having trouble using MacBook Pro keyboard to play FFR/SM

    I don't know how many people use MBP when playing FFR/StepMania, but I just want to be sure whether this problem is happening to only me.

    I usually play with my own keyboard, but since I can't bring this along my laptop everywhere, I sometimes have to play FFR with the MBP laptop keyboard.

    The problem is, after hitting like 500 arrows in a tough song, the keyboard response rate suddenly becomes very slow, hitting my input 0.7+ seconds late.

    Even after I stop hitting the keys, it still continues to receive keys I already hit a while ago.

    This problem goes way too far, and makes the game virtually unplayable, as I fail every song in FFR/SM.

    I searched Google for this and I didn't find anything helpful for resolving this issue.

    Does anyone have the same problem as I do?

            I'm glad to see the problem occurs to not only me, which means that it's probably not my fault.

            If it's OSX's own problem, I guess I have no choice but to just wait for an update that will cure this issue.

              Yep. If you're really desperate, FFR works fine on XP in Bootcamp. Also since you have the MBP, if you run XP in a window with VMware it should be fine too. That way you don't have to reboot.

                Since this is not an isolated problem, someone should probably report this to Apple...Chances are if it affects FFR, it affects other flash games that require many key presses, and probably other applications...
