Is it just me or the offset of these files are off?
Had to change my global offset to -2.5/-3 so they would be in sync with the music

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

Seems good to me. Played the 30 and sightread aaad with Great MA. had like 150 perfs haha

I had the same issue and came here to see if anyone else noticed this. Was so hyped to see one of my favorite songs added in a new update but when I played it it felt really off.

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

If you're using the in-browser, the default global offset should be 0.
If you're using a flash standalone or AIR, the default global offset should be -2.

It's a known issue.

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

I just tried playing We Won't Be Alone on web with 0 offset and it's the same. Still had to play it with -2.5 global offset so the notes would be in sync. And I normally play with 0.4 on both AIR and browser.

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

I play with 1 offset on everything and its all in sync haha

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

I can't tell if you two are joking or if you have some keyboard input delay that is either faster/slower than normal and it makes the song feel off with the above.

0.5~1 difference doesn't feel like that significant of a margin regardless.

Either way, if you're more comfortable with a certain global offset, go for it.

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

I approve.

Regarding the offsets thing, yeah all the new stuff is -3 global for me, everything after the most recent OT is either -1 or -3. Almost everything else is +1.

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

Did this get a bump because of the ending or am i just overly good at faster jacks? I feel like i can def aaa this if i can nail the end haha

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

Haha

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

I'm okay with this because the difficulty lies in the jacks having 2-framers mini jacks inside them if you isolate and take pictures.

I eventually AAA'd after figuring out where it happens and I do believe that's tricky enough to justify it. If the song had perfectly onbeat jacks, it would probably be rated slightly lower.

tldr; I don't think it's as free as it looks despite the possibility of getting like 3 goods runs.

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

Ah gotcha. I really havent played it fully warmed up yet. This was just first try after playing a few lower level songs so when i actually feel like grinding it ill see how i feel but imo it feels too easy to give scarhand. But it could just be me lol,

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

For We Won't Be Alone I had to change my global offset to -2.8 in both Air and browser to get it to be in sync.

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

if a level 87 has to 'grind' to get an acceptable score, it's worth scarhand

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

I never have problems with global offset but now this needs to be -2.5.

How does that happen? Seems like a major error.

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

Hey, I adjusted the global offset earlier this week, so I am surprised to hear they are still off-sync.

What engine are you playing on? Are you playing in-browser, on Flash Player standalone, or the Air client? Do you find both songs need the same global offset?

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

I use air and never change my offsets and everything seems fine to me...i dont understand why people have offset issues. Lol

Re: Songs of the Week (Feb. 14, 2018)
 

People in city: We only have one McDonalds in our town and we really like McDonalds, why can't we have more locations in our city?

SK8R43: I live right next door to the McDonalds, idk why you are all complaining LOL

Just because an issue isn't apparent for you, doesn't mean it's not an issue for, what, 4 people in this thread alone?

---

That being said, the most recent SotWs seem to be perfectly on-sync whereas in the previous weeks, they have been 1-3 frames early. (We won't be alone is still a -3 for me)
