Question!

[ssbmchamp]

Ok, so i just recently bought a computer and had issues because it wouldn't let me hit 3 or 4 buttons at once. I bought a new keyboard and solved that issue. NOW, there is a really weird problem I can't figure out. If I play FFR on a normal browser without using standalone it plays perfectly with no lag. When I go to standalone it is very laggy and almost unplayable. The problem is I can't play on the "not standalone" because with standalone I normally play on a somewhat minimized window which helps me see easier.

So my question is why is the standalone lagging so bad when I thought it was always supposed to help with lag and what option(s) are there to try and solve this problem to make standalone work better?

Re: Question!

Experiment with different versions of FlashPlayer?

Re: Question!

I remember SA being pretty bad for me on the newer Flash players, I really don't know if this will work, but have you tried using an older version? Or you could try prioritising the processing to Flash player itself.

Re: Question!

Played a guy in mp today that reported that browser worked better for him than standalone. It shocked me too.

Re: Question!

Or, if you can't figure it out, you can just zoom out of the browser version with Ctrl and -. Results may vary depend on OS and browser.

Re: Question!

since im not the greatest with computers, idk how to "override" an older flash player with the one i have now. I'm not used to this computer and can't even find the flash player under program files to uninstall it then reinstall a new one.

or am i wrong and once you download a new flash player it then becomes the default?

Assuming you have windows you could just windows key + r and type %appdata% then go back, or up depending on how you view folders, one page to the App Data folder and find Local. Your Flash folder is probably in there.

You can have two different versions of Flash simultaneously though. I mainly use 9 but I have a newer version, 11 or 12 I think, that allows for rates and whatnot.

Re: Question!

does anyone know how to program a keyboard (logitech) so that i can hit 4 buttons at once (ASJK)? I keep reading up on macro keys but i just dont understand all this computer lingo. Right now the only thing that works is if i program Left, Down, 8, 9 (8 & 9 are on the number pad, not below the F keys. even though this works its very awkward for my wrists and not a practical setup

As for this, I'm not much of a help. My computer registers 4 automatically for me, so I can't help you there.

Re: Question!

Macro keys won't help you fix ghosting because if a key don't register correctly, it won't register correctly even if you macro it to another key.

Use this site: http://www.microsoft.com/appliedscie...explained.mspx and try combinations of keys until you find the most comfortable one that works.

As for standalone lag: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...d.php?t=120256 check if there's anything helpful in the "lag reduction" part of the first post.

the problem with this site is i feel like its inaccurate. according to this i'm able to hit ASJK all at the same time perfectly, yet when i play FFR i get random misses. do you think this has anything to do with the flash player?

Re: Question!

If you press all four keys down at the same time while playing FFR and the receptors don't do anything, or only three of them go down, then you have a ghosting problem. If they all go down, then you have an offset problem and you're actually missing the notes.

i'm pretty sure its a ghosting problem. and there are times where all 4 receptors do work at the same time when i press them and then sometimes they dont using the same setups.

i just dont understand how theres a ghosting issue when this keyboard i bought is supposed to eliminate that. not only that but literally the only 4 key combination that works with no problem is [Left, Down, 8(up) and 9(pg up)]

and how come that ghost tester says that my keyboard is fine and that i can literally hit every key in every row without conflict? this is beyond frustrating
