FFR Standalone!

Re: FFR Standalone!

Sure, generally you'll get better performance by opening the swf on its own as opposed to in-page on FFR's site. Would it still suffer? Perhaps, but tbh I've found that FFR runs much better in Chrome on Linux than it does on Windows standalone. Windows is pretty terrible for FFR, when I get perfect 60+ fps in Chrome on Linux (on my rather cheap and underpowered desktop).

Re: FFR Standalone!

Well now I know the most appropriate way to help Chrome OS users, does the Chrome Os use the same UI as Chrome for other os's? If so Cache clearing should be the same I assume which is also handy for le troubleshoots.

What about the Steam OS, we can't forget about them

Re: FFR Standalone!

Aren't most people on Steam OS running multiple operating systems? I can't really see using SOS alone as its pretty much designed for that living room experience. My understanding is that ideally you would be setup to dual boot into some flavor of linux or windows to do computer-y stuff. (and fifer)

Then again would it be very different from just running it on linux? I haven't had hands-on experience with it, So I don't know.

*edit*
Seems like it would be exactly the same as running it on linux.

wow standalones don't work in linux (so far)

fuck adobe

although I still get way better fps in the browser on linux than I do in the standalone in windows LOL

But the fps should be capped at 30 for ffr. You either get 30 or it isn't working correctly.

Hm, why not? Generally the only hurdle is that you need to install a 32bit multilib set or something if you're on a 64bit OS.

And yeah, Flash performance in Linux is so much better than Windows. When I finally tried Windows one day a few months ago, it was appalling.

But the fps should be capped at 30 for ffr. You either get 30 or it isn't working correctly.

Well it's often hard to even get 30fps stable on Windows in browser, sometimes even standalone. Talking about uncapped FFR though, like R^3 set to 120fps, Windows is terrible on all machines I've tried compared to Linux.

edit: dunno, I just haven't been able to get standalones to work yet. maybe because 32-bit libraries but w/e

Re: FFR Standalone!

Guess things have been updated since 2 years ago.

Not playing until everything is based on raw scoring by default.

Re: FFR Standalone!

Finally got around to testing the new engine. I set the fps to 60 on my machine to see if there was actually kind of issue with it and windows. The game speeds up its animations which is kind of annoying, but it is perfectly smooth. So I set it to 600 and it was still perfectly smooth. Set it to 25,000. Perfect.

I don't think being on linux is somehow going to make it better. Perhaps this engine is just really efficient now. Maybe it still has problems on windows 7/vista, but I can't test that. People should probably switch to Win8 if they want to use a windows OS.

Edit: 120 seems to be the best compromise in animations being too fast and having too low a framerate.

Re: FFR Standalone!

Well, it's quite possible that the windows 8 graphics stack renders the lag issues obsolete. You do have a bit of a beast of a computer, though.

From the experience of most of us, Flash is far from efficient, especially with R^3. Whether that's due to the increased framerate, AVM2 (AS3), or some other factor is hard to say. I simply suggest Linux as a last-ditch option because anyone who runs it with a non-composting window server will basically be guaranteed to get a full framerate on any system from the past x years.

No link for R^3 FFR engine in OP, yet there are like 6 different R^3 XMLs
