    ATTN: d4u7211

    Twilight, I know you're an admin and whatnot, but don't lock a thread if a person hasn't gotten their answer; the least you could have done is linked them to a thread where someone had the same issue resolved - can you imagine how frustrating it would be for you if you had some sort of a problem and had absolutely no idea that it had been resolved for another person?

    d4u: I'm running a Windows 7 computer and because of Flash 10, it tends to have a lag issue on any browser. To alleviate this, download Macromedia's Flash 8 standalone (I've uploaded it for you, click here). Once you have this, open IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, click on the Security tab, and then uncheck Enable Protected Mode. Close IE and log back into FFR, making sure that you checked the Remember Me box. Open the standalone I've provided, go to File -> Open, and then type the link to the .swf (link is http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrndanotherway.swf). It should pick up your log in, stats, credits, etc.

    (If IE is your default browser, enable Protected Mode once you're finished playing FFR.)

    EDIT: Flash 8 has been smooth for me and all of the engine's features work for me. However, if the lag issues continue, you can try a standalone of Flash 9.

    ***Note that this is a temporary fix and might not work for everyone.

      If this is a solution that proves to work for a majority of FFR's players, someone who's on staff can sticky any of the threads with the solution, or create a new one that has it in a single post.

          I locked the thread due to some posts that were not erm, helpful to the thread, and that the issue may or may not have been identified (or at least the cause). Either way, I see your concern... Could've done better on it, I agree. I apologize to the thread owner and to TC_Halogen (whom saw the issue).

          Just for the record, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3, Firefox 3.6.10 and the latest version of flash player. I might give your method a try later.

          By the way, is anyone getting random misses while they play? I think it might be random, short lag points.

              wth...why are people being rude..the guy wanted an answer, and wasn't provided with one. I don't think thats the greatest way how to treat someone. Im sure Twilight wasnt being rude. All Halogen was doing is helping him... there's no need to bash him for being nice

              edit: yup...
              Leaving profile/sig the same for nostaglia apologize in advance for the profile lol

                              This is what I thought for a while too (that I sucked and was missing) but really, my computer isn't lagging and I'm actually noticing myself hitting the keys. I've played a challenging song and at a point where there were few arrows to read on the screen, I missed one and I hit the button dead on.

                              So yeah.

                                      I said my computer wasn't lagging, but things in game appear to "lag". On a related note, this happened almost two years ago, when I first got my laptop. I had Vista Home Premium 64-bit and for a while, FFR was really, really laggy for me at times. I kinda now want to know what os d4u7211 is using, in order to better assist the issue.

                                          Vista is commonly known to have issues with FFR - it spikes every 20-40 frames, with the intensity of each spike varying computer to computer. Some have very minor spikes, while others have extremely strong ones that are simply unbearable. If the OS is Vista, there's really not too much that can be done to my knowledge.

                                              If the OS is Vista, 'bout the only few things I can suggest doing to improve performance without altering flash player versions is disabling the sidebar, switching to the Basic theme (disabling aero desktop) or disabling addons in your browser that use many resources.

                                                  any game u play is ran better on xp or 7, vista is fail plus it sucks way too much ram.

                                                  edit : lol this is in no way related to the topic ^^

                                                      I had made a thread on the random misses earlier, I chalked it up to lag.

                                                      Oddly enough it hasn't happened since, i'm doing just fine and all of my misses are human error.
