Q: Why can I only use certain key combinations? e.g. Why won't F3 + F4 + Strum (Enter) work together?A: Keyboards always have certain key combinations that cannot be pressed together. This saves on manufacturing costs as it is very rare that those combos would need to be used (aside from in FoF obviously).Only way around this is to remap your keys. Usually using 1-5 rather than the F keys works. That, or try switching which key is used to strum.One way to play 3 note chords is to get RF-Mod and go to player 1 settings and turn on 2 note chords only, You will only have to hold the two outside notes, and the middle will be hit.---Q: Why can't I map my yellow drum key?A: Chances are, you have the guitar keys mapped to a plastic controller. Whenever you try and press the yellow pad on your drums, FoF thinks you're canceling out of the key selection. To fix this, you need to map your guitar's second fret to something else.---Q: My songs slowly slip out of sync, even the Guitar Hero ones!A: This is usually a result of the Sound Buffer setting changing. Go into Options > Audio Options > Sound Buffer, and change it to 44100.---Q: How can I play the game in Windowed mode rather than full-screenA: Go into 'Settings' -> 'Video Settings' and change the Fullscreen Yes/No option, then apply the changes (remember that the resolution you choose will set the window size, so you are probably best off setting it to 800x600 before going to windowed mode)---Q: I downloaded the latest FoF, and when I remap the frets it doesn't actually seem to change them, they stay as the original F1-F5 and enter.A: Restart the game after assigning the buttons and it will work.---Q: The game really seems to lag alot, no matter what settings I use and what audio delay I set.A: Among other things, always make sure you have the latest video card drivers. This happened to me: I updated the drivers and the game now runs as smooth as a baby's bottom! :DAlso, it is worth noting that, for some people, dual core or dual processors cause lag in the game. If you have one of these setups, go to the task manager (ctrl alt + delete, you might have to click the task manager box) and go to processes. Find the fretsonfire.exe and right click, choose Set Affinity and untick one of the processors listed. While you are here, you might as well right click and set the priority higher as well.---Q: How do I add songs into FoF?A: Download a track, this will usually be in *.rar formatExtract the *.rar file, and almost always, the files song.ogg, guitar.ogg, song.ini and notes.mid will be in a folder. If this is not the case then put them in a folder.Place this folder inside the FretsOnFire/data/songs/ folder and your song will now appear in your song list.---Q: How do I extract folders in .zip or .rar format?A: A good program to extract those files is winrar which you can find here-----Q: I can't download from megaupload because of a slot problem?A: A solution to this problem has been posted before: http://www.fretsonfire.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=614-----Q: Some of my songs cut out when I miss a note, how do I fix this?A: Copy guitar.ogg and rename the copy to song.ogg-----Q: How do I seperate the guitar from a song?A: You can't do this unless you find seperated tracks released by the artist---Q: How do I convert a freetar sng to a FOF midi?A: Use nukular toolsor a mirror provided by winniez: http://my-css-lab.com/cgi-bin/nukular.pl---Q: How do I use the guitar hero controller?A: Been answered before
