    Lots-o-Lag

    What's up? I'm no idiot with computers, and I a Mac currently. I can't get FFR to stop lagging. I only have FFR running and nothing else on the computer and I'm running highspeed internet. Wondering why this won't stop lagging. Any suggestions? Thanks

      Is there some process (coughfirefoxcough) that's sapping all your memory? If so get rid of it. And play on low quality.

              Have you used the standalone flash player? Now that the newer Velocity engine has log-in support straight from the game itself, you won't have to worry about not being able to authenticate yourself.

              Here's a link for Standalone Flash Player 9 for Mac: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/f...ayer_9.app.zip

              When you get the flash player, click on Open and paste this url into the text box: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/~velocity/ffr_Wide.swf

              To further reduce lag, try reducing detail in graphical settings.

              Let me know what happens!

              Also, remember that Flash is a pretty intensive program, and running all sorts of graphics as well as audio streams at once can definitely add on that.

                          you make it sound like it's not worth it. Anywho, tell us if that worked. (it SHOULD). Some computers don't like FP9, though. (get FP8, if that happens)

                              I use a Mac. Almost every AAA from Tambourin Chinois until now was on there.

                                      It's not short term. There's no fix other than a complete re-write of the FFR code.

                                      Edit: I did find this: http://www.mattshaw.org/projects/flash-plugin-switcher/
                                      It lets you change the installed version on flash, so you can switch to 9 when playing FFR and back to 10/11 for whatever else.

                                          I don't use a standalone and I play FFR fine on Firefox. Downgrade to Flash 8 if you haven't already..

                                          I use Chrome for everything else.

                                              It never lagged for me for years before FFR went down. Now it's unplayable even with standalone, low quality, fresh boot, gamebooster, XP, reformat, new and old computer...

                                                  I don't own a mac but whenever I've played on one its run pretty much perfect.

                                                      Re-read my post. Flash 10/11 started deprecating AS2 support (the version of actionscript, i.e. the code flash uses) in favor of the newer AS3 standard. A few years ago, You used flash 9 in your browser, but you updated since, so it lags.

                                                          That wide screen FFR is better, but it still lags to the point that I cannot play. I always take the quality down, my flash is updated as far as I know and when I tried that url to change to flash 9, the mac software doesn't work...ughhh I just want to play my beloved ffr again lol
