drum issue

Postby jesspren6 » Tue May 19, 2009 5:44 pm

I was playing "two weeks" and I kept failing medium because when I try hitting two notes at once it doesnt work everytime. How do I fix this?

Are you using the keyboard or a controller?

I am using the Rock Band 2 wireless drums. It works sometimes but it seems that the red doesnt like to work that often, especially when im hitting the red and yellow at the same time. I tested it using another test drum software on pc and my rock band 2 game and theres nothing wrong with the drums.

I get this too, and raised the incident (lysdestic pointed out its been raised on google code somewhere)

Turn on the ingame fps monitor and see what fps your getting. I notice that the latest svn likes to jump around with fps a lot more (at least for me) I used to limit the FPS to 60 on old fofix and its fine but with the svn it drops from 60 to 45 and anywhere inbetween. Setting the cap at 45 fps made the board smooth for me and illiminated the phantom misses i was getting.

So its possible that your misses are caused by the fps changing around so often. Use the ingame FPS monitor and see what the LOWEST fps you get is then set your fps cap to around that mark. For EG, if your fps bottoms at 35 then make your fps cap 35-40 fps.

Personally, I don't think the phantom hits are so much FPS related, as they are to the bass drum code.

If you I let my foot rest between bass hits, I find that I get more phantom hits then when I don't because the game does not register the bass drum as a tap.

This is just a theory, however. I've never had it as bad as you seem to, so I would suggest checking your delay as well.

:blink: GH3 had drum controllers???
To set up a drum kit, depending on which one you have, you PLUG IT IN, go to the FoFiX OPTIONS and set the CONTROLS.
You could also visit the GAME CONTROLLERS section of the FoFiX Wiki [link]

I think you mean GH4 :)
And for me I had to use the buttons (X/Y/A/B) Green (A) = Green pad, and so on, instead of hitting the pads when i setup the controller in settings.
This is because the pads are Analog and FoFiX doesn't handle them yet but the buttons are digital and give the right values. It works in game (hitting the pads i mean).
