The Performance is Killing it for Me
I've been playing FFR for quite a long time, and have been looking to get back to playing some more, but this game is just too full of stuttering to make it playable. It's smooth as butter sometimes, then it'll drop to what seems like 5fps at others. It makes FCing a 20 difficulty song a challenge, and makes improving my skill nigh impossible.
This isn't a new problem for me, I've had problems with lag as long as I can remember... but even on my newest rig (6 core amd fx 6300 @ 3.5ghz / radeon 7870) the game lags. I've tried literally all of the standalones, and various engines. The standalones do have less problems than in-browser, but not enough to make FFR an enjoyable experience. I've tried this game most recently on both Win 7 and 8. Win 8 removed the ability to turn off some features (namely, aero), and on Win 7 I didn't notice any improvement with the classic theme. Also tried enabling/disabling flash HW acceleration. I have more stable FPS playing Bioshock Infinite than FFR! |

Re: The Performance is Killing it for Me
set the priority of whatever you're running it on to high in task manager

Re: The Performance is Killing it for Me
i don't see how you could have done all of that and still be lagging unless you are trying to run 30 programs at the same time
EDIT: check and make sure your cpu isn't being maxed out. just run standalone and look at what task manager says Last edited by Fission; 07-3-2013 at 05:56 PM.. |

Re: The Performance is Killing it for Me
FFR is the most unique game I've seen, where it runs better on shittier computers than it does on good ones.

Go to my Multiplayer guide in the Multiplayer Plaza, it covers 95% of the methods you can use to improve your performance and applies to more than Multiplayer. Good luck!

Re: The Performance is Killing it for Me
Couple things that might make a difference:
- If you're running chrome, check chrome://plugins to see if you have more than one copy of flash. There is an NPAPI and PPAPI (out-of-process) version by default) and sometimes they conflict. You can see by clicking the [+] Details at the top right. Disable PPAPI and try again. - Right-click on the game and check your flash settings, Hardware Acceleration and Local Storage limits might do it. (I generally run Off + Unlimited) (Noticed you mentioned that...) |

Re: The Performance is Killing it for Me
My computer still lags when the song gets dense, and I've tried all the usual suggestions.

Re: The Performance is Killing it for Me
takes crap to run crap. you can't set something that's not meant to be on something unless it can handle it.
ffr just can't handle it. *shrugs* at least until it gets a really decent upgrade to today's tech. sorreh fiffer you're just old and fairly obsolete fufufu~ |
