    MP update bugs

    Hello all,
    I'm not certain if these are new issues since I've only just joined yesterday (maybe 2 days ago??). Anyhow, they became more apparent with the update, and a quick forum search turned up nothing. The first bug is reproducible, the second is speculative and can't be confirmed at the moment, so go easy on me.

    First bug:
    Arrow flow direction locks up after joining and entering MP. Reproducible bug. Steps:
    i) Load FFR.
    ii) Select an arrow flow which is not bottom to top (the default)
    iii) Click the MP icon on the lower half of the window
    iv) Click Go
    v) MP interface loads up, arrow flow cursor jumps to M.
    vi) exit MP w/o playing a game
    vii) arrow flow cursor locked into place, can only be moved by reloading the page.

    Not the biggest problem in the world, but a little irritating.


    Second bug:
    FFR seems to stutter quite often after this update - at least one or twice per song, depending on the length.
    Can't be 100% certain of this one though, could just be that I am becoming more aware of interruptions in the flow or that my VPU is warmer today than it was earlier today or last night. I doubt that's the case though, since my usage has been lighter tonight than last night. Disabling programs that require network connection(trillian, firefox extension) or that affect CPU usage (anti-virus, firewall, manual shutdown of non-essentials from task manager) has no effect. Can't really confirm it until it cools down, and I can't really do it before I need to get to sleep tonight. I'll try to follow up on it midday tomorrow.



    edit: easy on the flaming (if there is any) please. just trying to help, not being a nitpicker.

    Re: MP update bugs

    a few other people have reported extra lag over the past few days. we'll investigate.

    and as far as the 1st bug... i noticed that too. it actually occurs ANY time you leave MP as of now, not just with changing the scroll direction. the interesting thing about this bug is that for the 1st year or so of MP, this WAS the default. that when you exited MP, you stayed on the M and had to reload to clear it. then Synth finally got around to fixing it...

    but it would appear that with the updates over the past day or two, this bug has returned. I'll let him know about it. Should be an easy fix.
    RIP

      Thanks for the prompt response. Glad to be of help, and to know that I'm not simply imagining things.
