Jam Rating is a new skill rating system - think of it as a running measure of how well you're clearing charts, not just a single-song score.
Each chart (song + instrument + difficulty) has a Chart Value based on how demanding it is. Play cleanly and you earn Jam Rating toward that chart; your best play is what counts.
Your total Jam Rating shows up on song select, and the instrument grid can show your best JR (and Chart Value) per difficulty so you can see what you've already cleared.
You can toggle between viewing high scores and earned JR in the instrument grid by clicking the left stick (default)
After a rated run, the end screen plays a short Jam Rating reveal - stats tick up, and your total updates if you beat your best.
What's rated (for now):
Solo Free Play on official AND custom songs as long as those custom songs have a SongID i.e. they are leaderboard compatible
Amateur, Normal, Pro, and Master (not Novice)
Not rated:
Multiplayer (local or online with other players)
Practice mode
Tempo shift away from 100%
Auto mode or gameplay assists
Custom songs without a song ID
This is a beta - numbers and rules may shift as we tune it. Feedback welcome.
Most options and preferences now sync across machines via Steam Cloud (paths and machine-specific settings stay local).
Online player names on remote lanes handle long names a bit more cleanly.
Fixed an issue with fast notes sometimes getting "stuck" when playing online
Fixed an issue where you sometimes can't navigate through jam session lobbies in the online menu
As always, keep jammin~
