SERIOUS lag problem

Cloud0005 · 12-1-2008, 05:53 PM

I've tried every thing my friend and I could POSSIBLY think off and no matter what we did it wouldn't stop lagging on FFR, and this computer NEVER lags on FFR. EVER. Help? Fast?

This isn't really a bug. Turn off all your background programs (AIM/MSN/anything else) then try. Also do a Malware scan (check for viruses).

Also if you're running Vista without the recommended system requirements then anything you do on that PC will happen slowly.

I don't do any of that when playing FFR and I did do a check.

Well any software on your PC that runs in the background can slow it down. Especially if you have a slow computer. Look at your system tray in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

I always empty the things I don't need when I start it up, and this is the fastest computer I've ever used. I don't know why it's starting to lag now.

Have you checked for an updated version of Flash Player and updated video drivers?

I downloaded the newest version of Flash Player a few days ago.

Ctrl+Alt+Del > Processes > End Unnecessary Processes and Process Trees
Use your best judgement in ending processing. (Be careful.)

I do that at start as well.

Can anyone think of something I haven't tried or do?

Try http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/indexwrap2.php instead. That's normal-sized without any extras.

**kmay** · 12-1-2008, 07:35 PM

try low res...it lags less for me. stop rejecting advice, you asked for it in the first place try it before you say anything

I can't play as good on normal sized as I can smaller.

Wow, I must sound like a jerk.

FFR is pretty SERIOUS.

**Patashu** · 12-1-2008, 08:23 PM

That didn't help either. =/

**EDEdDNEdDYFaN** · 12-1-2008, 09:55 PM

Probably the date to the flash player was the problem. Try trying the older versions again.

**Tasselfoot** · 12-1-2008, 11:18 PM

when did it switch from working well to not working well? what did you change that may have caused it? those 2 questions are the important ones... randomly throwing out possible fixes may work, but answering those 2 questions SHOULD work, as there has to be a logical explanation as to why something would work one day and stop working the next.
