Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

extensions?

what is this madness

I just mentioned that extensions are being considered. Doesn't mean it will happen though. There are pros and cons either way...nothing has been decided yet.

Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

firefox + flash 11 = 0 lag whatsoever

Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

I want to go against the current here and mention that the Velocity Engine doesn't suddenly eat up 50% or more CPU out of nowhere when it was working fine in the 6th Official.

The one used for my Tournaments uses 20% max, usually only uses around 10%. 20% is when there's the chance of weird lag blips. 50% risks a dropped framerate and note jumping, making play basically undoable. This is why I ask if there's a backup of the Velocity Engine with the Tournament Genre used back in the 6th Official.

Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

So, for a last ditch effort I'm going to upload a Velocity Engine build from Jan 29th 2011, it's one of oldest engines I have in backup.

If that lags, then it's a flash issue, I've run out of things to cross out off my list.

Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

well, it's visually better, at least. Input lag doesn't look too much different though.

Still the same lag. Standalone problem.

Runs pretty smooth on browser tho, minus the fact it crashed mid-song.

[1:59:53 AM] Jσnαthαn | Vєlσcítч: if that doesn't lag
[2:00:00 AM] Jσnαthαn | Vєlσcítч: which it should
[2:00:12 AM] Jσnαthαn | Vєlσcítч: i'mma be pissed
[2:00:19 AM] Jσnαthαn | Vєlσcítч: but if it don't
[2:00:21 AM] Jσnαthαn | Vєlσcítч: coo
[2:02:36 AM] Brenton Mah: guess what
[2:02:40 AM] Brenton Mah: it lags like a mofo
[2:02:52 AM] Brenton Mah: 262-0-6-11 shotgun surgery lol
[2:03:11 AM] Jσnαthαn | Vєlσcítч: so it really is a flash bug

Nice try though. I'm going to just temporarily reside in the Legacy den in the meanwhile.

Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

I'm starting to think the lag is a bug in flash itself just from the sheer volume of loaded data from the playlist, which is over 18k items.

I'll try a engine that just loads in the tournament songs and see if that changes anything.

Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

That still doesnt seem to make sense seeing as it only affects a very vocal minority.

If it is a flash bug should it not affect all people using that engine on the specific standalone versions (being 11 / 10 / 9)

Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm suddenly not able to change my key setup in the velo engine (the normal one, not the '11 one), it's identical to how r^2 is, it says to press a key, but then nothing happens when I do.

Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

Are you sure it's a minority? I think a lot of people have issues.

Re: 7th Official FFR Tournament

It all depends on computer specs, Flash only allocates a percentage of ram, so it'll differ per computer. When I play FFR I don't receive any lag at all, but I also have a gaming computer.

So if I understand correctly it is a computer issue that is onset if a certain amount of percentage of memory is allocated to flash...

In which you could either a) recode and rework the engine to not cause this issue which is a pain in the ass
b) tell people to upgrade their computers which is equally as silly of a choice.

Quite the tricky issue to resolve it seems. When did this onset again?

And yes bmah, I am quite certain it's a vocal minority. How many of the active players haven't complained?
Thats the thing about vocal minorities they make their point loud and clear -- even if there are not too many of them.
