    Velocity engine has WORST LAG SPIKES EVER!!! How do I fix?

    I have Windows XP, everyone else's advice involves Windows 7, this is terrible, I *think* the offset will solve the good problem, but with these atrocious lag spikes, that ain't happening. Help?
    It's getting better all the time
    I used to get mad at my school (No, I can't complain)
    The teachers who taught me weren't cool (No, I can't complain)
    You're holding me down (Oh Oh)
    Turning me round (Oh Oh)
    Filling me up with your rules (Oooh)

      I've been playing FFR fine with W7. As far as XP - use the "Windows Classic" theme found under Control Panel -> Display - it gets rid of some of the graphic + lag issues.

      Second: Velocity's engine works best with Flash 9, as least after testing with all three.

      Third: Have you tried reducing your computer's resolution when playing FFR?

        I have not reduced resolution, however it's already ridiculously low, I will try the above though

          Velocity's engine is just plain laggy. Even on windows 7 with gamebooster 2.0 and flash 9 standalone I'm dumping all kinds of goods.

          Haven't tried Windows Classic yet, nor can I find it in control panel->display

            It's that PA counter of his that is causing the lag I'd imagine.

              did all of that, still atrocious lag spikes, and I'm running gamebooster, hmm...

              EDIT:

              you guys might not understand HOW laggy this is, as in it moves in chunks, as in it's frozen half the time...yeah, that laggy, however the other FFR engine works fine, just doesn't have the offset

              EDIT 2:

              HOLY ****. Fixed the original random goods problem, play original FFR engine on Flash 9, not Flash 8, solved, I think...

                I just dump random goods everywhere. Maybe I just need to get used to it? Don't think it's an offset issue.

                  It's not just you. Have tried the velocity engine on flash 8 player and on chrome, ie, and firefox and all three gave me random goods, especially chrome for some reason. Just downloaded the flash 9 standalone you linked me, doubt it will improve the velocity engine.

                    I'm working on it, found a few places I can make it faster.

                    EDIT:
                    Put a update up that should help with the lag spikes, I'm really not sure what is causing it.

                      I don't lag at all on his Engine. I prefer it over FFR's.

                        I miss a whole lot more in Velo's engine. Not sure why. Accuracy seems to be the same.

                              Is there a .swf-version of the velocity engine somewhere? I love the features on it but I can't play it in browser due to lag.
