The bolded part is funny to me because I was just saying over here about an hour ago how I was actually a bit miffed that participant badges were created. Because the whole reason that profile badges came about was me looking for another prize to obtain for the officials since we didn't have anything like T-shirts and stuff to give, (so it was something for the winners back then, not everyone). All we had were the same old tokens and credits to give. Now everyone gets one just for coming in and to me that's kind of meh.
I just want to tell you that these tournaments are what get me into FFR again after a long time and that the work you can do is EXCELLENT no matter how you run it. This is my 2nd official and I'm sure I'll have lots of fun no matter how it's set up because of the hard work you guys put into it. Already loving the D3 chart in round 1!

Definitely steaming a bit. I had the AAA run on oppIrish up to 2800, and then had the issue that I'd been having on Microsoft Edge that I'd been having earlier. It's intermittent, but it's stupid noticeable when it happens:



Near the top of the screen, pretty much right where the taps start splitting, I got a micro-lag that suddenly caused all of my inputs to fall behind -- I don't know why the hell this keeps happening, and it's so frustrating because this is the only browser I can use that has good framerate, since I can't find a version 21 .dll for Chrome's Pepper Flash. -___-

It runs like shit, from version 9 all the way through 22. And I'm not exactly using the weakest of computers, either. >____>

When I trashed FFR back on the 9th of June, I was playing on Chrome + Flash 21, but the version of Pepper Flash got updated and I can't seem to find 21 anywhere. 20 runs like garbage and 22 is just as bad.

Isn't it noted that older rigs tend to play FFR with more stability?

I saved the computer that brought me up to D7 skill just in case I ever get sick with the instability that Flash is causing or the screen tearing that causes arrows to be cut in half because it runs at like a fraction of the power my currently computer has but it ran FFR in-lack-of-a-better-word flawlessly

I know it takes time and energy to dig the older rig out (if you even have one still) but it might benefit you, who knows

reiterating, AAA'd Rave 7/Staple on Smile/Miku on this same computer that I'm using now back on the 9th of June -- there was an update to Flash on the 15th and the game is unplayable now; I'm willing to bank on the fact that it has to do with the version shift. it would be a lot easier if I was using a different standalone version for some dumb reason, but I wasn't -- and, I can't just simply control the version of Flash inside of the browser since there's a special .dll file for the version of Flash specific to Chrome. I'm trying to find 21.0.0.242, but have not had any success whatsoever. I've also tried installing the PPAPI version of Flash 21 on my computer but I can't seem to figure out how or where it's supposed to be handled so that it interacts with the browser.

I'm interested as to why Edge is having these random input hiccups, because aside from that, it runs even smoother than Chrome did for me...

EDIT: AAAAAA found v21, let's see if it's not just coincidence

Are you using win10? Out of experience, I have had several issues with browser flash (chrome) and with standalone in the past though the standalone was fixable by just running OBS in the background to reduce frame skipping. Though lately I've been having audio/visual lag for the first 10 seconds of a chart where the arrows are behind the music and then it performs a frame skip to catch the two back up together.

tl;dr flash is super sketch at times but in the wrong moments it is in pristine conditions

What's OBS?
I don't have input or audio/visual lag, but my game frame-skips every two or three plays and I have to refresh the browser. I can still sorta play when the game's frame-skipping (I AAA'd this round's song that way, actually) but though it doesn't seem to compromise accuracy, it definitely compromises reading ability.
(On a Mac, by the way)

Default Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

even v21's not working as well as it should, this is fucking ridiculous

i'm about 5 seconds from just not even bothering anymore, this is stupid -- i've no problem admitting having issues when i'm actually incapable of doing something, but when i'm contending with computer issues that are a result of the game's platform then i see no reason to even bother

this is not worth the frustration. i'll probably try a bit more to troubleshoot and get things working properly but if this is going to be the issue that i contend with the entire tournament, then i'm not even gonna try.

i'll try the standalone + OBS thing - the fact that something like that even needs to be considered is pretty stupid but i'll give it a shot

OBS is the streaming program, Open Broadcaster Software

@AJ, it is pretty stupid to be honest and it doesn't work for everyone. The only way I can get 60fps is to have it open in the background (not on, just open).
