    Credit Loading Time

    I keep having problems with the credit loading thing, here I've explained...

    When you complete a game, there is that little box that tells you how many credits you received from the game. Below that, there is the another box that tells you your "total credits" I was just wondering what this was supposed to be a total of. (1) Is it your previous (before the game that you just played) score added to the number of credits you gained from the game? (2) Or is it just the total number of credits that you had before playing that game?
    Either the load time for the "total" box is really slow (1), or I am ranting about nothing and the box is only supposed to show the total before the game (2). If it was (1) that the load for the "total" box is really slow, I thought it might just be my computer or internet. I have cable, so it shouldn't be that slow. To test this, I simply played FFR at two different freinds' houses, and used different accounts too. Same problem any way I tried it. I seem to have a recollection of the "total" box being the total of all your credits including your gain from the game that you just played.
    I'm working on getting a screenshot to show an example of this, but for now, here's what I'm talking about...

    Re: Credit Loading Time

    Yep ... since like two weeks ago, I've had to wait until I exit out of the current song and go to the main page (where it shows all the genres) to have my credits updated.

    Doesn't really matter for me ... but bleh ...

      That's exactly what I'm talking about. And also, if you click "play this game again" or "play another game" before it shows the hiscores on the after-game screen, you won't get any credits at all! That's the main thing that pissed me off. Plus, it was nice to be able to see your total score there, I liked that.

        Just press "play another song" and your credits will be added.

          Not if you don't wait for it too totaly load. And obviously if you click away, it will tally them up (if you wait for it to load), but what I want it to do is load the total credits right there- like it used to do. Anyway, I was hoping a MOD could help/ explain why this is happening to me.

            You probably have a slow internet connection. No real other thing to say.

              Read my experiment tests... I have cable and all of my other friends have better net connections then mine. Plus, this problem stared about three weeks ago, and there hasn't been any change to my internet connection recently.

                There is an obvious answer to this. Be patient and let the credits load.

                  The highscores are the things that you have to wait to load, and even after that, it only registers with your account... it doesn't register on the post-game screen; even if you wait for a long time.

                    Re: Credit Loading Time

                    Here is an example picture of what I am talking about, I have labeled the four elements in my question A, B, C, and D.
                    A: The top "total credit" counter, I know that this doesn't load immediately, even after you refresh, but that is not what this question is about. (A) is simply the control.
                    B: The "credits earned from game" box. This is how many credits I just earned from that particular game.
                    C: The "total credits" box, which is the reason for this thread, it is the thing that I believe to be faulty.
                    D: Actually, this box isn't as related as the others, this is the "hiscores" box that has to load before your credit count actually registers with FFR. If you click on "try another level" or "try this level again" before those two load, you won't receive the credits at all.

                      Do NOT double post.

                      A - Updates every 15 mins. Refresh your page.
                      B - That's how much credits you earned for THAT song.
                      C - That's how much credits you have before adding B
                      D - That's your best score as opposed to the rank one score.

                        A - won't reload until the page is refreshed, and may take longer sometimes, don't worry about that.

                        B and C will update eventually

                        D - shouldn't update at all in this pic

                          Thank you for answer to C!!! That was my whole question, I thought that C used to be B plus the number of credits you had before you played the song. Thank you for the answer. No more posts in this thread please!!! My question is resolved.
