OFFICIAL Stuttering In Game

I tired in IE7, FIREFOX 3, OPERA, and CHROME. All cause the same problem, stuttering with no releif throughout the whole song. I cant fathom whats causing it, i really didnt think it would be very system intensive!

I have played after a full system reboot, and same problems. I also have played when only the browser is open. Same problem!

I will check my CPU usage whilst playing and let you know.

My CPU Usage whilst playing is well within normal limits (approx 45 percent) and my RAM usage is at approximately 50 percent usage.

Sorry if this message appears twice, it didnt look like my first one sent!

I too am having this issue. It actually crashes Firefox and IE just stutters to an unplayable level. 2.4 GHz Quad Core Processor, 4 gigs RAM, Nvidia 260 1 GB RAM card, so not the system, just made sure flash was up to latest version, unaware of what could be causing the issue.

for me depending on which pc i'm on , once the note reaches the end of the fretboard, but isent at the keys, it bounces back a little.

for me, the stuttering is coming down the fretboard and is juddering all the way from the time i see the note til the time it reaches the bottom, it seems the juddering gets wors the closer to the bottom of the fretboard it gets and when there are more notes on screen. I checked my fps and it was averaging at 88 all the way throughout.

Hi Ryan,

I turned on the FPS as suggested. I was getting 80's for most of the song. Throughout the song there was stuttering. Obviously Chrome uses the same core as Safari, I tried it with IE7 and FF 3.0

Interesting thing is that my Dell Vostro 2.0 GHz plays it better than my HP Laptop which is 2.4 GHz duo core. Difference being the HP is Intel and the Dell is AMD.

I'm wondering if there is a correlation between this. Anyhow, with Flash, performance has always been about the CPU which makes it hard to target. However, now that most machines are higher speeds it shouldn't matter as much.

Good luck on troubleshooting.

I'm still experiencing the same problems as the others above - most closely related to iamsensay's "juddering." Quad core Intel, nVidia graphics, not sure what the problem is. 64 fps throughout.

Try the flash 10 beta it helped me a bit.

Any update on whats happening with this then? Or if any attempts are being made to make it smoother? I wont play like this becaue my ranking just goes down so much as i do so badly, i am a good player understand how frustrating it is to be made to look like a noob because a FLASH game lags. I love this game, the site and the whole idea but all that is useless to me if i cant even play the game!

Id appreciate an update as to what is happening in regards to this problem, if anything.

Many Thanks

P.S I tried flash 10 and i got mildly better performance. Not to the point of playable, but better.

I got this problem too, tried with chrome, ff, ie. I could try opera and safari too.

fps is 60-80 in chrome, which i use the most.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+ 2.6 GHz, operating system Vista 32
2 GB memory
3D card: Radeon X1700 FSC

It looks like that the notes stop and then they jump down. I've tried flash 10 beta and didn't see a difference.

At the first when i got to Jam Legend it seemed to work better. 1 opinion (not mine) was that if Jam Legend cant handle the stress when there's more people joining or its slow when people have slow internet, but i don't think so because i checked how much chrome downloads/uploads information during song and its nothing.

Anyone tried setting the priority of the browser you're using to high in task manager or does that not work either. And if your using vista try setting the browser to xp compatibility mode.

I get this problem a lot.

Here is my spec, hope this helps sort the issue.

Windows Vista Ultimate x64 - Service Pack 1

Processor: AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 4600+ 2.41GHz

Memory: 2GB

Soundcard: SB X-Fi Audio [8000]

Browser: Firefox v3.0.1

Latest Version of Flash

I have the juddering that iamsensay describes too. Especially when I get any of the text progress messages or the crowd cheers.

ARRRGGG......
I just loose 1300 rationg point because of this, by miserably loosing an extremly easy song.... cause fo LAG. :((((

For me it looks like:

- All the time I play a song, the first notes that arrive are resonating back and forward for s ec.
- Randomly some notes are stopping for sime millisec and then teleporting forward, many times simply "phasing through" the area where I could hit them, making the impossible to catch.
- Crowd cheers and text messages increase the likelyhood of lagging, and sometimes they cause longer and stronger lag then the random happening lag.
- Strength and likelyhood of lagging changes randomly from day to day. Sometimes there is no noticable lag, other times it makes IMPOSSIBLE to play at all.
- Lag sometimes accompanies by another error: Some notes are going through the hitting are WITHOUT being hit, even if I press the button, it looks like if I were not press Enter, though I did (No error in keyboard).

I'm on a MBP Intel-based, and tried using the Flash 10 beta to no avail. I really like the idea of the site, but the constant lagging (I don't seem to be able to make it through any song w/o at least one incident of a stutter occurring) leaves something to be desired.

Try using the opera browser it helped me a little bit.

I've had this problem on both my PC and Mac.
It'll be jerky, then smooth, then jerky, then smooth.
I've checked the FPS and that's fine running in the 50's.

Windows System
AMD Athlon X2 4400+
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1800XT
Windows Vista SP1
Flash Player 10
Internet Explorer 7 / Opera 10 / Safari / Firefox

MacOS X 10.5.5
Flash Player 10
Safari / Opera 10

I would imagine that instead of a problem with anybody's system (aside from old machines) it's most likely a Flash problem.

I've witnessed Flash websites running with what are supposed to be fast animations (or complex animations) only to see them stutter and slow simply because either the player isn't built to accomodate such animations, or the website hasn't been optimised properly.

Flash 10 making use of the GPU doesn't seem to have made any difference for me as I had the exact same problems with JamLegend on Flash Player 9.

Occasionally a track will run pretty much smooth all the way through but it's more 80% stutter, 20% smooth.

Also, I've tried playing both after a fresh restart, and thus nothing running aside from the system services, as well as just generally popping to the site for a quick game whilst working etc.

Edit: After just "playing" again (I quit about a quarter of the way through because I apparently kept missing notes even though I was in time) it appears as though the only way I am able to do vaigly well is to strum slightly before I'm meant to.
Also, performance is the worst i've seen it so far, with it stuttering constantly.
Seriously, performance and optimisation should be your number one priority because without those two things being 100%, JamLegend will clearly never leave BETA.

Yeah the notes actually go up and then down really fast, sometimes even at the start of the song it's hard to hit them...

I've the same problem in Firefox, in iex7 it run's perfect :) Firefox stucks every some overlay appears... Like ICQ, when someone comes online..

CPU Performance Problem => Missing strokes

I am having slight performance problems, which result in the effect that once in a while the game is visually stuttering, which makes me miss notes either because I did not see them (early enough) or because the thingie does not recognize I pressed them early enough, even on very simple passages. This is a fairly powerful PC for development purposes, but it has a constant CPU load of about 25-50% with peaks > 75% during a song.

the game hanging

when im playing a song,and when the song starts the circles.....they are like stopping with no reason they just hang...but there's nothing wrong with my pc...it just suddenly stops and doesnt move...pls. help me

Random pausing

In the middle of songs, around two to three minutes into said songs, the game randomly pauses, almost always causing me to miss notes in otherwise perfects songs.

Why do the notes not come smoothly?

Is it just me, or do the notes come choppily as if it is buffering in the game? They just do not flow smoothly for me, is there anything I can do?

why does the game sometimes stumble in the middle of the song? its really pissing me off, that its stumbleing.

Even though I don't click, nor press the space bar, my game sometimes freezes in the middle of a song. My laptop hasn't had any problems until today, so it's perplexing me as to why I'm having this problem...

the game are very good, but the leg problem make it frustrating!!! when you play the notes came whit a seconds late making you miss then because of that. it must be fixed!!!

leg's problem.

I noticed that the game stutters when there are fading colors effects in the background while playing. It also happens when the game show informations like the number of notes streak or the fact that the bot takes the lead. It could be nice if it was possible to disable these. I use firefox and have a decent computer,2BG ram, core 2 duo. The problem is the same on IE

Stuttering when background changes.

I have a problem with flash games in general, in which the window (but not the sound) pauses and then quickly warps ahead. It's especially frustrating in this game when timing is key. Does anyone have a fix for this?

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
General flash "warping" problems.

The game runs smooth at the PCs we have at school, but at mye computer at home (which is slightly more powerful) the tracks go too fast and then jump sometimes during the song so i do not hit the notes. This makes it impossible for me to get long streaks or good scores while playing at home.

Flash sometimes suspend itself and i can't play for a while. Please do a little bit faster and stable version of fretboard ;)

Suspended fretboard.

When I go to start a song, the countdown counts down, and then when the first note(s) get half-way down the screen, they hang there, and bounce up and down, then the song doesn't progress any further. However, it does work on another machine. Maybe a flash issue? what versions of flash need to be installed?


This happens in FF3 and IE6. I'd try Chrome, but that won't install due to Symantec Endpoint Protection causing an error.

Songs can't start on this machine.

@Lou when a song is not fully loaded, it may happen that it will hang at halfway, and will stay there untill its loaded far enough (wait untill the song is fully loaded(you can see that at the song bar (the part that is loaded will be darker)))

I dont know if its my computer problem or JamLegend's but whenever I play songs, it sometimes jumps or pauses for awhile(0.5 milisec) and continues again.. So i cant really play my songs perfectly.. So i need some opinions or solutions.. Thanks^^

Jumping Problem...

Hm i guess to each is his/her own. For me flash with firefox tends to lower the *stutter*. Im assuming by stutter you mean lag. If thats the case you can never get rid of lag it will always be there no matter what in some way sometime. It can be reduced greatly but occasionally you will still get that little *stutter*.

cannot play the game

Sometimes the keys don't respond on my computer and most of the time the gaming is choppy. Do I need to update my Flash Player? I've tried refreshing my page and that doesn't work. I really want to play better, and I know I can, but that will only happen if my computer will let me hit all the notes! I'm using Google Chrome, Is that the problem? Is it my Flash? Is it my laptop? What should I do?

Choppy Gameplay.

I first tried out the game on Firefox, but due to the skips ruining my combos, I installed Chrome and pretty much use it whenever I don't feel like waiting 10 seconds for Firefox to boot up when Chrome does in 2. My machine isn't very powerful, but since I close anything I don't need before playing JL, I don't experience lag (on chrome) except when playing lengthy/chord-heavy charts.

This Lag is overwhelming

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
This Sucks.

*Sorry if this question already been brought up.*


Why it's quite lag when I play a song although the song already finishly load?


I mean I use to play GH3 before and JL is not as smooth as GH3 when I play. Then, sometimes it's really lag until it pause for a second then the note already passed out (Hope you know what i mean). This problem mostly when i tried to play a long song like Canon Rock.


I dunno either other JL players have this problem. If not, then mostly bcoz of my mobo or something.

Song lag. The notes passed out and I lose my streak..

whats wrong with you? every day i'm playing jamlegend and whenever i play the songs lagged or shuttering is disturbance! i cannot able to get a high score are you intentionaly doing this?

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
please giva a damn..

Get rid of lag during the songs because it's hard to win showdowns and get high scores when your game cuts out half way through!
