The Vista Excuse.

Re: The Vista Excuse.

I already do play ffr on my xp. Just saying that is because it doesn't work on my vista. Someday I'll make a video of me AAAing some song on my xp and then getting a total crap score on vista even though the keytaps will be exactly the same.

on the first FFR song I played on my (then) new laptop with vista, I got a clean FC on thrash with 167 goods, and my laptop is more than capable of handling the OS...so yeah

That's the computer not the OS. As I said, I bench marked it with hardware more than capable of handling Vista and FFR and the numbers came out the same and numbers don't lie.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic. In case you were be, I'm going to ask you to read every post I posted in this thread until you understand. And again, graphics chips won't cut it unless you have a really good CPU, no idea why FFR needs this but yeah, that's my experience.

Re: The Vista Excuse.

Ever given the thought that some Vista computers lag...not all? I can believe some of them lagging, but there is the possibility of coincidence that it has Vista...possibly. I'm not that smart in computers. I just know that my Vista has zero lag with FFR. Don't blame my skill, either. I'm not a very good player, but that doesn't have TOO much to do with it to make a difference. I've already AAA'd a level 8 (by luck) and BF'd some 7's. I used to have XP and I did no different. I tapped the arrows at the same time on both and got the same results.

So not ALL Vista computers are laggy. Some, yes, just not all like most people act.

If people want to say all Vista computers are laggy I want to see them record yourself playing FFR on very single Vista computer that exists. I know it isn't humanly possible...just saying. Until then, people need to stop assuming that all Vista computers suck.

Then how come it works fine when I put XP on it. Are you completely denying that there is no issue with vista and ffr?

Re: The Vista Excuse.

The problem is the operating system. There are many facets of Vista that can slow up graphic performance especially with flash.

Today I went from having enormous lag spikes to none just by adjusting some of my personal settings.

It's different from computer to computer, so making a general statement that something is or isn't the problem is really stupid when it could be a very wide range of problems causing the OS to lag when it shouldn't.

edit: there is a lot of useless crap that is built in to vista that isn't in XP which makes XP smoother to run by default. You can remove gigabytes of information from the Vista install file and still have more than you need. All the features are nice and all, but when the high processing power pulling apps are running when you don't want them to it will always result in lag.

Re: The Vista Excuse.

Just got a vista comp and it is messing me up hard...

Re: The Vista Excuse.

Holy crap do I have to say this again. Vista is not bad if you have the computer to run it. Integrated Graphics chips don't cut it for anything but word processing and web browsing. There is no problem with Vista. XP is faster but ME is faster to XP, and 98 is faster to ME. Before telling me Vista sucks tell me what part of this statement you disagree with. As I said I ****ing bench marked this **** on a Vista capable computer and the FPS came out the same.

ITT fido is a dumbass with no technical knowledge set whatsoever, yet continues to try to pretend like he knows what hes talking about.

Re: The Vista Excuse.

Shut the **** up. No one cares why it happened. It ****ing happens. I use XP and I can't even AAA easy 9s. It's you not your os.
/end rant.

Re: The Vista Excuse.

The brand-new computer can run Vista fine. Vista just has problems running the flash smoothly for me. And it makes it super choppy most the time.

Re: The Vista Excuse.

I got both my first and second FMO AAA's and all up to 500+ AAA's and scores with Vista. Works fine for me. You just have to play on it for awhile to adjust to it.

Yea, I'm sure my computers 2.6 ghz quad core and 9800 gtx graphics card and 4 gigs of ram is just not enough for ffr. Vista doesn't suck. It runs smooth and quick. It just does not run well for ffr.

edit: On my pc. I understand some peoples hardware somehow works for ffr and thats great. It just does not for mine.

I repair computers for a living and I do a lot more than just reformatting. I'm going to College for Computer Systems Technology and I spent most of my spares in high school hanging out with the IT guy in his office talking to him as my schools small and spares are pretty lame. I also spend a lot of time learning about computer on GNU's IRC network. I like to think I know a lot especially over something as easy as this where people are assuming it's their OS when they hardly know the detail about how a computer or OS works.

It's not my OS ._.?

I am also getting a computer science degree if we are going to play this little game.
