Known Issues

Gyroscope


In a large amount of cases, gyroscopes of controllers will frequently drift in some direction over time, there are some ways to mitigate this:

  • Calibrate your controller via Steam Controller Settings: Steam -> Settings -> Controller -> Calibration & Advanced Settings -> Gyro Calibration
  • Quickly setting your gyroscope to neutral in-game by pressing the Left Stick on your controller (might not be available in certain menus)
  • Resetting your gyroscope by unplugging your controller and plugging it back in


We are working on a more robust gyroscope implementation!

Changes

Tutorial overhaul!

  • The tutorial has been completely reworked, now making full use of every option and mechanic in the game.
  • Leaderboard scores for SPEED LIMIT BG1 have been reset as a result.

Added Drift inputs to other input devices!

  • Swap between input methods in Options, under Gyroscope, and rebind your controls under Rebind Controls to make full use of this change.

Added Momentum & Checkpoints!

  • The better you do, the faster your final time will be.
  • The momentum value is affected negatively by anything under an X-Limit.
  • The "Finished" medal previously awarded for getting enough EX Score, now is awarded by having a final time that is faster than the song length.
  • Checkpoints will display splits based on how ahead or behind you are compared to your progress bar targets.

Added Pausing!

  • Scores with pauses will NOT be uploaded to leaderboards.
  • In addition, your pause count will be displayed on the results screen.
  • In Multiplayer, hosts can enter the pause menu & return all players to lobby, and restarts are disabled.
  • In Arcade Mode, quitting will fail out and advance you to the next stage, and restarts are now allowed in the first 10 seconds of gameplay.

Gameplay UI overhaul!

  • Completely reworked the gameplay UI, now less cluttered and more focused on time
  • Radial momentum and life bars
  • Horizontal progress bar displays checkpoints, player location, finish line
  • Subtractive scoring now available on the usual score display, and legacy subtractive scoring available in the old location

New Mods and Events for custom charts!

  • Added "camera_fov" mod
  • Added note size/scale mods
  • Added track size/scale mods
