FFR Multiplayer is out

wtf this is bs... it keeps disconnecting me there are WAY too many bugs

I just want to be clear and let everyone know that the only lag you experience is not net lag but rather CPU lag. It takes more processing power to move 2 playfields instead of 1. The design of multiplayer does not have problems with lag like a normal first person type of multiplayer game. It is not waiting for positions on arrows because both playfields are always identical, it simply sends a string of info each time a key is pressed.

The disconnections are a result of the socket implemention of php. It simply is not reliable and needs me to restart it every 10 to 15 minutes otherwise it gets overstuffed with information. Because of this we are quickly rewriting the multplayer server in java and as a result we should be able to handle hundreds of connections instead of 60-100. Unfortunately there was no way to test this without releasing it.

Cheers,

P.S. I will probably set a cronjob to kill/restart the php server every 15-20 minutes. So no more complaints about disconnections until that java server is built.

Are you sure it's processing power? Because there's no doubt there is some people in here with godly CPU's (AMD FX's, P4's over 3 GHz, etc), yet everyone is lagging. If an FX-53 can do ANYTHING you throw at it, it should be able to run FFR. =/

Well.. I guess a better way to figure this out would be for everyone to describe EXACTLY what they mean by lag. There is always the possibility that I missed something.

Lag=really skippy gameplay/ extremely low framerate.

[ToshX]

damn the hard stuff is really laggy... i had like 14/15 miss on fotbb with less than 400 combo... #$*.

Oh yeah thats the game where it I stopped at the start, it froze for half the game so I smashed arrows, ended up with like 200 boos and the song ended and you had 365 combo(of perfects I think) and failed. At least it was funny. Oh, and btw with your later post, I TOLD YOU THAT YOU CALLED EVERYTHING BS!!! For everyone else just ignore this, odds are you dont know what I'm talking about.

RE: FFR Multiplayer is out

There is no actual Versus as on one machine play. Only 1 vs 1 over the internet.
