Recurring lag spikes?
I get a small lag spike near the beginning of every song I play, every time. It doesn't usually matter but sometimes turns a perfect into an average, or a miss
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to fix it? |

Avoid 1 or more tabs/windows.

Re: Recurring lag spikes?
It's the same no matter what else I've got running (yeah, including nothing)

Happens to me too. No way to fix it that I have found. Sometimes it just goes away for a while though.

Re: Recurring lag spikes?
T_T I am disapprove of this.
Someone said it could be that I don't have enough RAM (512MB) but that doesn't explain how the rest of the time the game runs fine :\ |

You use Firefox 3.5.2 right?

Try download and use another variation of Firefox. I use Cometbird sometimes.

Re: Recurring lag spikes?
I always download the new version when one comes out, are you suggesting switching to an older version?

No, I mean using another variation. Even though Cometbird is based on Firefox, it runs separately from it.

Re: Recurring lag spikes?
Happens to me all the time. It often happens more than just at the beginning. I just play in Internet Explorer and it's fine. I always wait until it starts up before switching to IE, it usually takes a little bit.

Re: Recurring lag spikes?
Helpful >.>
IE? Guess I could try that, don't think I ever had any problems on it, apart from slow page loading. :P EDIT: Hmm, no spikes on IE but I get like half the framerate, that's no good. Last edited by Kynosaur; 09-8-2009 at 02:00 PM.. |

Re: Recurring lag spikes?
Ever since I got one of my ram cards removed from my computer, I have noticed this happens all the time now, and it has never lagged once before. I still have 2.5 gigs of ram though.
Maybe get more ram memory?

A very wise stepman once told me that to get rid of lag that occurs in FFR, you must delete your system32 folder.

Re: Recurring lag spikes?
he's lying, System 32 Folder is your computer.
Deleting it thus deletes your computer. |

This happens to me on and off, for about a year now. I wish I knew what to do

Re: Recurring lag spikes?
I use chrome. It seems to work the best for me for ffr, but everything else its not so great.
