A fresh version of Frets on Fire is out. This time around we focused on general bugfixes, performance improvements and making the game run more smoothly, especially on older computers. Only a few new features were introduced, most notably the support for importing songs from Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.
If you used the Windows installer package of the previous version, please uninstall it before using this latest release.
In order to keep the database size manageable, the World Charts server now expires old scores automatically. For more information, see the following blog entry:
Due to hosting issues beyond our control we needed to change the charts server to a different address. The charts web page can still be found at http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/charts, but the game itself needs to be taught about the new score uploading address. You can find instructions on how to do this at:
We've just released the first version of the World Charts server software. With it you can set up your own private score servers. Since this is the first public release, there may be some bugs left in the installation process. We'd appreciate it if you would let us know of any problems you might encounter.
