Does Anyone Know The Real Reason...

[angelofthedead]

Does anybody out there know the real reason why computers slow down the FFR game (A.K.A. lagging)?

I've been told it's the weak internet connection, the CPU's disk capacity, and other things.

Does anyone actually know how to fix this?

In general it's the CPU processing power, this game is actually pretty CPU intensive. I suppose other things can affect it as well, such as the browser you use or other misc problems. I can tell you now that internet connection or disk capacity will not affect how much it lags (though in multiplayer your connection might affect it, I can't say I've never tried it on a slow connection).

Edit: As far as fixing the lag, in my experience, IE 7 (dunno about 6) lags much less than Firefox, Opera also runs it faster but there were random spurts of lag where the game would just lock up for a second or two, which is much worse than lag in general. You might find different results with different setups so it's best to experiment for yourself. Also be sure to turn your quality down to low. =)

Who ever told you it was your connection, was right.

don't have any programs open if your computer sucks, or not too many if it's pretty good. when people message you on msn or you're getting a download or just anything,r eally, it'll make it jumpy. try closing stuff on your taskbar (by the clock) if you have a windows.

I just loaded up Elements and unplugged my ethernet cable, it plays just fine, it's definitely not a connection problem. lol

It's not your internet connection, don't give out false information...

The only factor your internet connection has is loading the song when you first play it. Don't believe me? Load up a song, play it once. Disconnect your DSL, Modem, Dial-up. What a surprise, you can play it again and again!

When it lags, it is because your physical memory limit has reached. Of course, you can set it so Flash Flash Revolution has a high priority with your CPU system, but you don't want to make things unstable so I wouldn't try it. What you can do, is open up your computer Task Manager and watch your system processes and see which one take up the most CPU usage. If you have processes running that you don't need, it wouldn't harm to temp disable them while you play FFR ^_^
