    Reduce mp lag suggestions?

    Whats the best ways to get mp to lag the least. Mine goes at around 5-10 frames per second and occasionally pauses for a moment altogether on really dense note areas. I have it on low quality and full mask of the 2nd player. Explorer is turned off to.

    Phynx recommends Firefox Beta 3.0 with some add-on and pipelining. Uhhh, getting links, brb.

    Firefox 3 Beta 5:
    Everyone deserves access to the internet — your language should never be a barrier. That’s why — with the help of dedicated volunteers around the world — we make Firefox available in more than 90 languages.


    Adblock Plus:
    Download Adblock Plus for Firefox. One of the most popular free ad blockers for Firefox. Block annoying ads on sites like Facebook, YouTube and all other websites. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).


    How To Enable Pipelining:

          Make sure you have no background processes or a million tabs in your browser.

                Don't use full masking
                use arrows only.

                Full masking does nothing for processing. It only puts a giant black box over the other side.

                  Full masking should do both. Or rather, full masking doesn't really mask fully anyway. Once the combo passes 2000, you can see the 2 sticking out, which becomes very annoying. =/ Any fix possibility on that? That might lead to an on/off switch for combo number/accuracy announcer.

                    Masking should turn off the 2nd player completely. I don't see why mp would lag more then 1 player in the first place. Anything that is doing more while playing in mp should just be done at the end of each song.

                      suggestion derived from izzy's last post

                      MP = single-player gameplay
                      you have no clue what the other person has unless you:
                      1 look down at the score (stupid)
                      2 finish the song (smart)
                      lag-free

                        So are you saying its just lagging because its constantly trying to update the other persons score in real time? I know the lag problem is from how the game is running and not my computer.

                            That's curious, cause I've never heard of anyone who doesn't lag in mp.

                              Remember all that money we give Tass for subscriptions? Why do you think he has such a good PC? ;D
