Offbeat arrows help!

[xDarkDayz]

can someone please tell me or try, when im playing a song the arrows are slightly offbeat / out of sync, iv checked the settings offset is at 0, also it never did this before the new difficulty system, is it due to that or is it just me? please help

The difficulty system didn't change the offset of any songs.

Here's what you need to do if you find a song is offbeat.

1. Determine the amount of offset.
- If the arrows lag behind (i.e. approaches too late), then you need a negative offset such as -1. This takes away excess time that may cause the arrows to arrive late.
- If the arrows arrive too fast (i.e. approaches too early), then you need a positive offset such as 1. This adds extra time to compensate for the arrows's early arrival.

2. After you typed in your offset amount, press "Set Speed" on the speedmod setting in the top of the option menu. I know that may seem irrelevant, but it actually refreshes your settings. If you don't press this button, your offset won't change.

3. If the song is still too early or late, then adjust accordingly until you find the file is in sync. For example, for the song "Reality", I need to use an offset of -3 because that particular file is pretty offsync and late. Most songs should be fairly consistent in offset however; only a handful of files are unreasonably offsync.

Hope that helps.

If the arrows to the songs are all blue then you'll just have to deal with it.

Now some blue arrow songs can sometimes be helped with an offset, just not the synthlight ones lol
