A Little Help From Speed Mods
Posted on: October 23, 2014, at 10:17:24pm

I was playing a few songs today and having a little trouble. While that's to be expected since I'm out of practice, I remembered that using a speed mod helped in the past. I checked this setting and it was at 1.5x, as I remembered it should be, so I bumped it up to 2x. That seemed to help a bit -- I was able to improve a few scores on lower difficulty songs. It certainly can't make up for all the skill I've lost over the years, but it seems like it can help at least a little bit with reading the arrows, which provides some small compensation.

Now if I can just eliminate the lag I seem to get sometimes. I'm surprised I still seem to have lag at all because I have a pretty good gaming laptop now. If it's real, I suspect it's due to things running on my machine, maybe taking up some memory or processing power. I'll have to try stopping some of them, or maybe seeing if running FFR stand-alone will help.
