Okay....this is going to be a bit of information, because I am not looking for answers like "use the standalone" anymore. The only info I can't give you (because I don't know) is how much ram and whatnot the computer has.
Lately, I have been playing the majority of my FFR on an offline engine. I do this for two reasons:
1. I can then play in my room, rather than in the kitchen.
2. It gives me NO lag whatsoever, unless it just happens to be a bad day with a random lag spike.
The computer in my room is an XP, the thing is old. It runs so nicely.
The computer in the kitchen is Vista. I hate it with a passion.
I can't have internet in my room, so a standalone on the XP is impossible. I need help finding a solution.
I have decided that my lag issues are not due to the game or server issues, but rather the computer itself. I don't know what the problem is, but here is a list of what I have tried:
- Regular FFR in every web browser (IE, FF, Chrome, Safari)
- Lite FFR in every web browser
- Standalone swf in every web browser
- Standalone with no browser in Flash 8 & 9
- Velocity's Engine in every web browser
- Velocity's Standalone in every web browser
- Velocity's Standalone with no browser in both Flash 8 & 9
You can repeat that list with everything again, adding in running Game Booster as well. None of it is working for me....it all lags too much to play. I can't FC FMO's, and sure as heck can't AAA anything but Excite Bike.
Can anyone help me? I'm getting desperate....
Oh and p.s., even my offline engine lags on this computer a little.
And "move your computer or your internet" doesn't help me. I can't. It's my family computer and I can't have internet in my room, as I already stated. My parents are nazis. Help is greatly appreciated, guys. =]
