Lag Spikes

[mrpreggers]

All day, everyday. Indeed engine, Dragon's Fury engine, Velocity's engine (all standalone versions) have been ****ing me over.. has this been happening to anyone else? I'm sure at this point it's just me since I haven't seen anyone else complaining.

Re: Lag Spikes

I get a bit of lag even on standalone but I have 256 mb of ram and a terrible processor on my main computer I use. Have you tried setting your computer to it's highest performance? You go to my computer, right click properties or just click it, go to advanced, it will say performance on the top, click settings and change to highest peformance

Right click your desktop > Personalize > Scroll all the way down on the list of themes.

Re: Lag Spikes

I think it's just FFR period. Every comp I've ever tried to play on since the beginning of time lagged with FFR. My comp right now runs on an i5 3.0ghz proccessor, 16 GB DDR3 ram, and a Geforce GTX 560 Ti graphics card. Even with all this, FFR lags.

Re: Lag Spikes

No it's definitely not FFR...I play it perfectly fine and my computer doesn't have as good of specs as that.

Re: Lag Spikes

My computer has 4 gigs of RAM, I run Game Booster 3, I have Windows 7 set to Windows Classic Theme, I've disabled my anti-virus (it likes to randomly update at the end of a song). The one thing that I found made a significant difference with FFR lag is setting your resolution lower. I was at 1900x1080 and I brought it down to 1440x900.

Although I only do it when I play FFR, it does make a significant difference and I never lag anymore. Flash just sucks overall. n.n

Re: Lag Spikes

I just have Windows Classic theme on and use a standalone and I never lag.
1920x1080 resolution too.

Re: Lag Spikes

I know this was said already, but I can honestly say that using a standalone + Windows classic theme will give you the results you want.

If it doesn't, it's because your computer is running a process that is lagging your flash player. I guarantee it. I've seen sooooooo many people with lag issues that are fixed when switched to Windows Classic theme, and on standalone.

WOW! That actually did make a difference. I dropped my res from 1900x1080 to 1024x768 and I was actually able to at least FC Delirium just like the good old days. Maybe it's a multi core issue. I've noticed problems like this tend to happen with older games.

Re: Lag Spikes

I'll to try a lower resolution too, while the standalone helps, I still get lag here and there
