    Severe Lag During Gameplay

    I'm going from being able to easily beat cata++ to HUNDREDS of boos and misses and an inability to follow the arrows because of lag. I THINK I lowered the resolution but surely there's more I can do? If anyone has any solutions please post below. Thanks.

    Oh, and yes. I am on a very crappy PC. 256MB RAM and an extremely old processor. Using Win98 aswell and my video card is probably 32-64MB.

      Ctrl-Alt-Delete.. check your processes and see what is eating up your CPU time.

      If you are running FFR on a Pentium 1 or 2 chip, consider donating it to an orphanage and buying a new computer.

          Wrong section!

          But to see video memory,
          Click start - run and type in "dxdiag" without the quotes.
          Then go to video, and I would run the diagnostics if I were you.

              Yes I know it's the wrong section. I just read some of the other posts. And I'm using a Pentium Celeron on an Intel Chipset 82810 motherboard, I can't afford a new PC; Just so you know.

                  And Windows 98 does not show Processes and all that pretty stuff when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del, just applications and things in your sysbar currently active.

                          Why must life be so cruel? I can't even reach my full potential on StepMania because during half the 1000+ steps songs the stupid computer goes BEEP BEEP BEEP when I press too many keys at once and then kicks in a hard lag spike and I practically lose right there.

                              I know it's not Pentium 1 or 2, jesus christ. It's pre-Pentium 4 I believe. I have another PC that DOES have a very old Pentium 3 processor in it however, I fried it 5 minutes after buying it because I thought it would be a good idea to fully overclock it. XD

                                  For the love of God, EDIT YOUR PREVIOUS POST INSTEAD OF QUINTUPLE POSTING.

                                  Thanks.
                                  That's cool Mario, but how come whenever you eat mushrooms, everything gets bigger but your dick?
