Re: Fix FFR engine please and inform us of a timetable

legacy player sucks, it's really boggling that people still use it

as for the newer player, I also use an astronomical offset, so I feel you there. I use an offset of 14 or 15, depending on the song's native offset. try that out, once the offset's right r^3 works like a charm

So I think I've figured out that the biggest issue I have with changing to v3 is that it uses a larger screen and the arrows are actually larger. This changes my timing and the spacing that I'm used to and I'm not really interested in adapting to this new system.

I guess it would be nice if they could introduce these as options.

What exactly do you mean by "these"?

The "timing and spacing" can be altered under Global Offset, Judge Offset and Receptor spacing. The larger window can be overcome with the Screencut option and if you're uncomfortable with the default noteskin, there's options to change that too.
I was kind of reluctant to make the swap to R^3 too, it took me at least a year after it's release before I actually gave it a chance.
You just need to tinker with your options till you find something that works for you~

In regard to the topic, we are trying.
It's actually out of our hands.

Sorry, I guess I should say that I'm too lazy to adapt to the new system right now

But I am actually trying it out and attempting to find a configuration that works.

Along these lines, is there a thread that explains how the new player works? Because I don't know what the global offset, judge offset, and receptor spacing variables actually control. Plus I didn't realize that there was a Screencut option also. Thanks for the information!

The issue I have is that although I listen to the music as a memory device, my brain has to interpret the arrows. Since the arrows are bigger in v3, it seems to change the distance between arrows corresponding to a particular beat. I think ...

Sorry if I seemed impatient, I figure there must be some reason why it hasn't been fixed yet. I trust you'll find a solution.

Huh? I didn't know this. How is this possible?

Okay, I managed to fix the engines myself.
I'm working on a workaround for multiplayer and chat.

If things are still broken, clear your cache manually (from the last hour should do) as Shift F5 and ctrl-shift-r don't seem to work.

A post of mine from another thread:

Receptor Spacing: Just the horizontal space between the arrows. Larger numbers make the game appear wider, smaller ones do the opposite.

Framerate: FPS the game runs at, has to at least be set to 30. Many people use 60 or 120 to make the game look and run much smoother.

Rate: Speeds up the song you're playing, 1.5 makes everything 50% faster, 0.5 slows the song down, etc. Use it to make easy songs harder or hard songs easier.

Global Offset: Audio sync
Judge Offset: Video sync

Also advice for finding a judge offset that works for you:

Hide judge popups in settings, play through a song you're confident you can play well. On the results screen right click on the "Speed:" line under your score. The first number it gives (not the +/- one) is what you should use as judge offset. Keep checking it after a few songs and see how stable it is. Using a high framerate makes this process more accurate.

Because not everything requires Synthlight to fix. The problem was well known for us, just required to find the correct configuration to fix.

Near the bottom there is an option called "masking". Click on the word combo and voila, you'll only be able to see accuracy.

You can also tweak screencut settings and offsets in R^3. PM me if you need more info.

EDIT: Sounds like the engines have been fixed. Good job guys - in that case you can go back to playing on Velo.

Why can't you make those offsets be the default, since it seems that that makes it work 'properly'?

The legacy player has timing that works, and velocity mostly works too.

I tried a song in R3, and then the same song in the velocity and legacy player and did leagues better.
If you can get the timing of R3 to at least be as good as velocity, I think people would actually want to use it.
