Official GetRidOfLag post

[The_Lea]

So. I started playing FFR yesterday (I'm a Stepmania guy, but the competitive side of this game lured me over to try).

1. I have a 2000$ computer.
2. I have tried everything I can think of myself.
3. I have been humiliated in MP due to to it.

How do I get this game to lag less? The steps stutter towards me like they are in stop-motion mode.

I have tried:

1. Running it in different browsers.
2. Setting all quality to low.
3. Running it in flashplayer.
4. Turning off every useless process running until my computer cried because I chopped its arms and legs off.

I went to have a look on youtube and found this.

1. Why does he have a huge playfield and I do not?
2. Why does he have 500 FPS?

Real answers please, or I might have to lay down and die.


Oh, and hi everyone!

Question: do you have Windows Vista?

inevitable failure is more like it..the computer may have cost $2000 but if he has lag then he must have Vista.

On another note: 500 fps is impossible with the FFR game engine only running at 30 fps. Care to explain where the 500 came from?

EDIT: If you wouldn't mind sharing your computer's specs it might help us out a little more. Assuming you are not running Vista.

it depends on what kind of processor you have. like take me for example. i have a 1.58 ghz and 2 gbs of ram, but the processor is amd

AMD is better than intel. Intel processors run way too hot. My AMD Phenom 9600 has a constant temp of 43 and it just has a stock heatsink and fan. My friend got the Intel i7 and he has had nothing but problems with it, mainly overheating.

[chidori!]

my vista only fails because i have intel celeron. it gets hot when the left side of the battery isn't in the air slightly thats my fault for getting a 300$ computer

my laptop overheats ~_~

p.s.- performance mode

Those other people probably have liquid cooling and have their intel CPUs OCd. And lets not forget that if you burn up an intel you are gonna pay 2x more than you would for any AMD.

On another note: I wasnt serious :P I'm not an idiot.

I have Windows7 x64, An ATI 4870 X2 GFX, AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core, 4 gigs of high performance RAM.

I wouldnt use Vista.

You have some nice hardware. Windows 7 must be causing the lag because it shouldnt be anything else. Try disabling aero theme. Aside from that I can't really give any more advice. Maybe someone who uses Vista can help.
