Bug Description

Binary package hint: fretsonfire

frets on fire, one of the funnest games ubuntu has to offer, is extremely slow if you use the one from the repos

c2d 2.0ghz // geforce go 7600 // 1 gig ram; it was maxing out one core constantly and suffered terrible frame skipping. additionally, the resolution settings don't work well but this is a separate bug and more to do with FoF than ubuntu.

anyway, downloading the version from their sourceforge page fixes this. i *think* it has something to do with optimising/compiling the python code, or lack thereof in the ubuntu version.

also, the ubuntu version doesnt come with the 3 songs that the sourceforge version comes with, which is a shame.

Regarding the inclusion of songs, please see my bug report #162490

they are in the repos, but the add/remove application points to the wrong package

My machine seems to be a bit underpowered for this game (Dual 933 MHz PIII with 1 GB of RAM, ATI X1050 Graphics card). However, a newer version downloaded from the official homepage allows to play this game. However, the version of fretsonfire included with Gutsy is just unbearably slow.

It would be nice, if a newer version of fretsonfire could be backported for Gutsy.
