old beta 3 bug report thread

[hzac]

I thought you could alter sound volumes in the config.xml.......

[fude]

That's true, but you can't alter that menu volume which eckl was talking about..

<CrowdVolume>30</CrowdVolume>
<CrowdClapVolume>100</CrowdClapVolume>
<ScrewUpVolume>40</ScrewUpVolume>
<MissVolume>20</MissVolume>
<SongVolume>95</SongVolume>

i really hope to see "MenuVolume" or something like that in one of next beta releases

[marzz]

I've found a small bug in the More Stats screen.

The 'More' button in the results window, is mapped to the F5 key no matter how you map your players keys in the config screen.
e.g Player one has frets 1-5 mapped to D1-D5 and Player two has frets 1-5 mapped to D6-D0 but hitting fret 5 of any player does nothing. You still have to hit F5 to see the detailed breakdown of your performance.
Not a biggie, but I thought that I would point it out.

how about this:

take the problem sound file, loud it into a sound editing software, i.e. audiacity/wavepad/goldpad, and reduce the voule there. i just deleted mine completly and inserted silence, as i dont really care about it.

[fude]

Damn.. i feel such an idiot because of not figuring that out... ;D thanks Mental, the sounds work like a charm now.

You're saying that you have .net 2.0. However, you need .NET 2 SP1 for XNA 2.0... If that doesn't work, use file monitor (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/processmonitor.mspx) and please tell me what file it can't open.

hzac
Clearing this bug-thread was a really, really nice idea. We should actually do this regularely!

Thanks,
Callisto

K installed that but still getting this:

Update your graphic cards drivers and reinstall DirectX using the Web Installer. If that doesn't work, then your graphics card probably just doesn't support Shader 2.

[xwideout]

ok, just downloaded and updated latest release
beta 3 update 2
and got this error from guitar star

[hulkhaugen]

works fine for me...

[xwideout]

update:
ive played several other times since working fine now, i must have done somthing

[bene]

hey men i have a truble i convert a song from fof to gz and add star power to it and the star power dont show up

[fatdog]

with the new update the whammy seems to cut out one of the audio tracks

edit actually by the sounds of it, it might only be effecting the right speaker, not sure whats going on really

[thenoble1]

I've been getting this ever since updating to any version of Beta 3

[callisto2002]

fatdog
Yeah it does... I was actually playing with a Whammy sound effect and that is..well...a remainder of it.

[turco]

@ xwideout
I got the same error, dunno why, feels like this version is less stable as the error occurs both in menu and in select song screens.
Although never crashed during a song.

[fude]

I know we have talked about this earlier, but i really think that the background music in the setlist is still very loud. Maybe a possibility that you could lower it at the same time when adjusting "SongVolume"?

[reverend]

Notes are appearing out of order in terms of layering (more noticeable with some custom notes, than with the default ones, but it's happening in both cases). For a string of notes close enough together that they overlap, the first note (the one you'll be playing next) appears behind the others, so that the note you'll be playing last is on top. See screenshot:

[fatdog]

maybe related to a similar thing as above with the draw order, the note models themselves don't draw correctly when there are layers of overlaping polygons, any complicated models seem to show this effect,

taken a screenshot of a clear example, i've made one big so its easier to see, the center part of the model doesn't display properly and parts of the model that should be behind other parts are visible, i can send the model files to you if it would help identify the issue

[reverend]

I've also noticed this happens on relatively simple models, if the elements are grouped (or even if they were grouped at one point, then ungrouped). Not sure what about that process causes the effect, though.

I seem to be having a problem since I updated to the newest update. Sometimes, not always, but sometimes, when I go to pick a song, the "stars" won't show up one a certain song, or a group of songs(in the song list), then a pop-up comes up saying "GuitarStar has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The game stays open until I close the error window, then the game closes. However if I leave it open and try to play, it will mess up anyway.

[xwideout]

ya but i have only gotten that error 1 time and thats it so far

[dreakon]

Maybe it's just me, but every .dat file (songs made for the old GZ) I try using doesn't work correctly in these new betas. The notes are all messed up. The first song that messed up I figured it might have been a problem with the .dat, but it seems to be happening with all of them...

I'm using the latest beta update (Beta 3 Update 2, I believe).

It's hard to take a picture of it, but here's a decent example of whats happening:

These are two songs I tried that didn't work:

Avenged Sevenfold - Sidewinder
guitarzero2.proboards78.com/index.cgi?board=songs&action=display&thread=1190486353

Metallica - Enter Sandman
guitarzero2.proboards78.com/index.cgi?board=songs&action=display&thread=1190556087


Hopefully this isn't a problem that I'm just having...

[marzz]

GZ2 Beta3 update2
I think I found a bug in Restart in Training Mode.
Hope this isn't just me again

If in training mode, you play the track though to the end and then select 'Restart' to play again, the main menu sound track plays over the song your trying to practice. Kind of makes it hard to follow lol!

If you hit 'Esc' before the song/section finishes and then select 'Restart', then this does not happen. The track plays cleanly.

[furiouss]

yes i have a bug with beta 3 update2 after i play a song and return to setlist the game completely freezes and i have to restart the pc another bug is upon lauching the game i get an error needing to debug before i can launch the game??? weird

[edilpena]

I can only hear the guitar track coming from my left speaker, all other sounds are in stereo from both speakers. Playing with headphones feel weird.

[miffy]

My wireless PS2 guitar doesn't work. I DO have a USB converter.
While I was trying to configure the keys I got this error.

Free Bonus Information:
I'm running Vista. !!!!!!!
The controller is shown and working in Control Panels->Game Controllers.
I tried the preset configuration and that also did not work (in the menu under gamepad0 all the keys were still blank/unset).
I have a PS2 game controller which I tried and it also did not work.
My guitar controller works with Frets on Fire.

[callisto2002]

I don't know about your problem in general, but the message means that the controller was "stolen" from GZ, while GZ was running.

Examples of this happening are:
- You unplug the controller, while the game is running
- You open a configuration program (or the windows gamepad control panel), while the game is running.

If you didn't do any such thing, then maybe your Guitar isn't Controller 0, but controller 1 or 2...?

Just thought I'd let you know, that, that seems to be happened a lot more often now. Almost every time i open the game, it closes, and i gotta open it again for it to work.

[hulkhaugen]

i also feel that the game has become more unstable in the last beta. anyway, got this errormessage suddenly after failing a song. Might be my stoneage computer who caused this...
