Having difficulty AAAing or Full Comboing? (MP Network solution too)

[Xavon]

While I'm good, I'm still not quite good enough to AAA D10-11 songs (I used to get 70-100+ goods and 10-15 averages)

Here's a tip I have, GET A NEW KEYBOARD! It's simple, I had an old grimy keyboard that I continued to play FFR with for years and upon making the switch yesterday, I went from getting 70-100 goods down to 20-40 and 0-1 averages per D10 songs. This is a HUGE improvement for me, all thanks to the non-sticky slick keys my new keyboard brought with it.

The improvement was instantaneous and you can notice a huge difference in my scores from a few days ago to my scores today, getting below rank 800 on any song I play.

Also, another tip that's obvious is to use the Standalone Flash 8 player. That combined with my new board has left FFR flawless, I get no lag whatsoever and now I have no complaining to do. Any error is my own.

Also, for anyone having trouble with connecting to multiplayer, Sweagen came up with a solution that works for me and I didn't have to forward any ports.

This works for me fine, and if I simply click Multiplayer straight away without going back while it is connecting and reclicking Multiplayer, it says 'Can't Connect to Multiplayer' and won't let me do anything else. This way should fix it if your situation is the same as mine (you must do this every time you want to connect to multiplayer).

Hope I helped.

Hope this helps some of you.

That MP thing totally worked

lolol you've made lives happy again by the MP thing. New keyboards help sometimes, most of the time I get one the keytaps lag. :/

[Sweagen]

Yay I'm glad I could help

We have D10 now? God dang.

Anyways, this would probably work but I dont have the attention span to drive somewhere and get a keyboard... -_-

D = difficulty not division.

MP trick not working.
Hell, I've been waiting 20 seconds, and it still says "connecting".

EDIT: Can't connect.

Aw... sorry to hear it isn't working...

You sure you're doing it right? If you have the same problem as the other people... did you make sure you're waiting a certain amount of time when it first tries to connect, then clicking the little button shaped like a C in the FFR game window then reconnecting and waiting?

Correct-a-mundo.

First, I waited 10 seconds, and tried the trick. Nothing.
Then, kept adding a second after every try. Nothing.
Finally, I just let it load to see how long it would take before any new message would pop up.

22 seconds...

Well, now...

Well it sounds like you're doing it right... but you're still getting the problem as if you hadn't done it.

The solution I made was just what worked for me and it worked for a few other people, so I guess the solution isn't the same for everyone. If it doesn't work out you could still try the port forwarding thing that was suggested by a few people in the other thread...

I actually didn't wait 10 seconds, that didn't work for me. If I wait 3-5 seconds and back out and then immediately click back in, it connects for me. It varies per person I suppose.

Sounds interesting; the next time I go to buy a laptop now, I'm going to just base my decision on the keyboard. XD

[lumphoboextreme]

use Game Booster 2.0

Use Flash 9; it's better than 8.

The Flash 8 standalone works best for me, the Flash 9+ standalones cause stutter and lag like ****ing hell on my FFR. I suppose whatever works for the individual.

I'm also not using Game Booster either, just the Flash 8 standalone stopped all FFR lag that I was experiencing. I did have Flash 9 and Game Booster and it didn't improve my performance at all, but a new keyboard and flash 8 did.
