Random misses

Milli · 02-11-2011, 02:19 PM

I've recently started playing FFR again, and I'm having an issue I've never had before. Randomly in the middle of a song, my keys seems to stop working for 1 or 2 notes, and I miss them entirely. It has become impossible for me to FC anything because of this and it is extremely annoying. Does anyone know the reason for this?

edit: after a little testing, it seems as though it is giving me 1-2 boos whenever this occurs. I was testing this on "the color of giggles" and it seems to happen every time within the first 50 or so notes.

edit2: Updating flash player seems to have fixed it.

Happens to me to, but flash player update didn't do anything for me.

Seems the problem wasn't fixed for me either...Started happening again just now.

I already tried using different keys, it didn't help sadly.

I've been having this problem :/ though switching keys did help alot it still happens occasionally. to prevent it i take a break from ffr as soon as it starts to happen and that always helps.

**FFRGreen** · 02-17-2011, 01:07 AM

Its most likely your keyboard. Some keyboards only let certain amount of keys to be pressed at once. Try using a different keyboard and see if that helps.

Same thing happens to me too, switching keys doesn't help either.

**gattsta** · 02-17-2011, 05:11 PM

I have that happen to me sometimes, i restart my browser/computer and it usually fixes the problem

If that doesn't work, i don't know what else you can do.

**u84** · 02-17-2011, 06:23 PM

No, this is a ridiculously annoying problem and it happens quite often to me now. I'm using the same exact computer and keyboard as I used to when I played competitively years ago and I never had this issue then. Now, it seems to randomly miss once every four or five songs, even after updating everything.. What's going on, FFR?

This is not the problem. It occurs on single key presses as well.

Did you try changing keyboards?

CaosNight · 02-18-2011, 08:33 PM

I would like to know how many people this affects because it happens to me too and its not my damn keyboard

I am having the same problem. I'm using the same computer and keyboard and i only seem to miss double and triple arrows. I'm not amazing at FFR but i used to be able to do most 11s without a problem. Now i cant even FC anything that has a double arrow. I love the game but this is ruining it for me.

**FFRGreen** · 02-21-2011, 04:08 AM

How about you change the repeat rate of the keyboard
Windows 7

Vista

XP

I just tried this. It wasn't the problem but thankyou for the suggestion.

What are your specs? Have you tried disabling extra graphical features while you play FFR? Are certain unnecessary programs running in the background?

**FN_Boski** · 02-21-2011, 05:02 PM

I've had this when I began replaying FFR about a month ago. I would randomly miss and receive a boo in addition. This really seems to happen on simple 3 difficulty to 8 difficulty songs because I'm in the process of lowering my average rank instead of just overall rank. There are days where nothing happens and everything's peachy. One song in particular for me seems to be the worse: Straight To Video. I can't even FC it because of random misses.

I do not have any additional programs up, my comp is fine, and it's not the keyboard because I also play SM with the same layout and this doesn't happen in there. Soooooo...... what gives? =P

**Grimgol91** · 02-23-2011, 04:20 AM

I had this exact same problem for a few days about a fortnight ago and the only way i managed to get it fixed was with a Flash Update and remapping my keys. This didnt completely solve the problem but now it only does it for about ever one in 4k arrows hit which isnt to bad, still a nuissance though.

disturbed_9112 · 02-24-2011, 06:02 PM

i have this problem as well just on a more severe level i cant even play ffr because when ever i play a song the arrow keys say they are being pushed but it never regesters when i hit an arrow ive tested it on very easy just to see if it was me and its not its very frustrating
