FFR Beta - The ''let's talk about lag'' thread.

[Hakulyte]

So, yeah, finally after spending a bunch of hours getting that stand alone flash player, going down to 16-bits color, optimizing my computer, starting ffrndanotherway.swf the lag related to general FPS is gone. Sadly, the small frameskips stuff issue is still here. Therefore i was like, oh yeah let's try the beta link because you know i have that old subscription from a while ago and i somehow found some text file i had with the link etc. and guess what. It works! Zero lag, perfect playing! How much the game was smooth was superbly amazing and if i could, i would hi5 whoever created such an amazing thing and then.. the horror. I load a song. http://fbi.gov site. I'm like.. okay maybe i did something weird let's re-load. I load a song again. oh it's fbi.gov site again my bad... oh and there's that too now:



It always happens, i'm guessing. Okay, maybe it's because i'm not "currently" a subscriber. Yeah, cool okay i guess i'll subscribe again and check it out but..



..even if i wanted to get a sub, I can't anymore. It's technically impossible to play this game here without lagging. So, what's going on?

I've actually experienced a little bit of lag during play as of recently too but you have to realize that the site is still being worked on, etc. So I'd give it a week maybe and see how things go after that.

I have lag problems as well, it tears apart my PA.

Yeah totally agree with waiting, i'm just trying to get some feedback to see if anyone else is experiencing similar issues. I actually remember playing back in 2009 and having no lag on FFR Beta while the other links pretty much all had some small issues. Also, i'm trying to figure out if there's more people that are "crashing" like me each time they load a song using the Beta. Actually, having some kind of huge thread dedicated to setting up your game to avoid problems/lag is something I was hoping for until something happens.

In before someone mention "it's because you're blacklisted lol", I was testing those things on another account. So, it's either my IP or there's more people that can create this "bug?" (sounds more like a recent modification to me).

Yeah, the tiny frameskips are pretty annoying. The solution I could find was reloading the song over and over until it doesn't do that, which takes a few tries in itself. So yeah, it's most likely the dysfunctional nature of the site being worked and tweaked through the hours. Just have to wait it out, I guess. :/

On a better note, so ****ing happy this site is back up and running. FFR is win. <3

I've gotten that message before at one point. I restarted the SA and it still came back >.> But the next day it was alright again, should try tomorrow.

Firefox + GameBooster = no lag

Re: FFR Beta - The ''let's talk about lag'' thread.

hahah you guys suck I can run it fine, without the standalone.

[i love you]

Re: FFR Beta - The ''let's talk about lag'' thread.

Then perhaps, try it with the standalone and see if you can run it better

Actually, i got it like 5-6 times in a row and now it's working again. Not sure exactly how it's happening.

Firefox + GameBooster = no lag

FlashPlayer-8.0 r22 + 16 bits color + Windows 7 + FFR Keymaps + FFR Beta + TuneUp Utilities on Turbo Mode + GameBooster = Lag defeated. /gg

I know i'm overdoing it but at least it's working now. >:

I cannot use the normal ffr page to play FFR, it starts the song that exits it within 3 seconds, however since this morning i've been able to use the subscriber one without any issues what's so ever haven't played since this morning did things change?

Re: FFR Beta - The ''let's talk about lag'' thread.

I recently downloaded Flash 9 standalone http://download.macromedia.com/pub/f...shplayer_9.exe

It runs much better with almost 0 lag for me. Flash 10 was a bit laggy.
You can try using that.

My lag is no different than other times...

Actually it's been getting progressively better and I've had a few games without any slowdown or skipping at all, especially in the morning when no one else is on

Thanks Sprite! This helped reduce lag for me.
