The advantage of lag

666jesus666 · 06-26-2006, 03:23 PM

Not exactly a bug, but something that pisses me off.

Today, I played a person on an easy song. Get on the move.. the song is about 2 minutes or whatever, bt this guys pc lags SO BAD, it took about 10 minutes to complete the song.

My girlfriends computer is also really slow, and she's on dial up. I've played FFR on that machine and I know sometimes the arrows will move slower than they are supposed to. So it's like playing the game in slow motion. So when I missed 3 arrows, and had nearly all perfects, he played in slow motion and pwned my score just because of his combo. Obviously, it is an advantage to be playing with lag, cuz the game moves slower for you, and you have a greater chance of hitting them all perfect.

And now with the game running at 60 FPS, this lag exploit may be to even more of an advatage. I can see somebody runnig this game in slow mo, and doing extremely well on the masters only songs like, Caprice, or CIA Rave. Anything where there are lots of fast arrows.

So somehow.. I'm not sure how, MAYBE there should be a way to only let people with enough speed to connect and play multiplayer.. Though that's not too fair I guess. I have no idea what else can be done about this exploit.

There's a bug where *sometimes*, youll select and load a song, and the opponent selects the song but their song doesnt load. They wait for the song to load, and by the time the song is done loading, they start the song. Maybe they started playing it when you were almost done because of this.

usually no one even knows how to PA with that so it's generally not a problem except in MP.

In MP...just don't play with those people.

I've had this happen to me. Every once in a while, a song will not load properly and it will move at about half speed but there will be no sound. I usually just stop halfway through the song so I don't beat my record. One time I was practically FC HELLBEAT lol.

I -did- FC HELLBEAT and got 41st doing that on one of the computers at school >_< I agree this isnt fair at all. I suggest if you could somehow make the game play at the same speed and if it doesnt load fast enough just have it lag throughout the game. Like... if the song is 1:20 long, have it end after 1:20 is up, Ionno how to explain it but I'm pretty sure you understand.
