(Bug) Audio becomes desynced over the course of a song

[LegoMaster09]

I was playing some longer songs, and it seems like the audio slowly desyncs and gets later, which makes it pretty difficult to hit any notes.

Huh. That is odd, and should not happen unless of a huge lag spike.

Can you provide an example of a song where this happens? (just the name and source is fine).
Can you also tell me if you were lag spiking or not?

Thanks for the issue report, and apologies for the inconvinience.

I was playing Painkiller by Judas Priest and Green Grass and High Tides by The Outlaws(Wavegroup), both of them come from that spreadsheet of songs from Clone Hero: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/13B823ukxdVMocowo1s5XnT3tzciOfruhUVePENKc01o/htmlview#gid=0

I also have to play on low quality mode, otherwise the game is very laggy.

Thanks for the info, I'll investigate it ASAP.

Howdy. Through some investigation, my assumption is that when the game lags, the audio doesn't, which causes desync. To prevent this, I added an option in the settings menu that bases the current time on the audio instead of Unity's delta-time (which is what was being used).

Now, there are some issues attached with basing the time off of the audio instead of the game time, but I think that it may solve the problem you are having.

Below, I attached a zip-file containing the current dev-build. If you don't mind, can you test to see if this fixes the problem for you? Be sure to go into the settings and turn “Use Audio Time” on. Please be advised that the settings do not save between sessions yet.

If this fixes the issue, please close this issue. If not, please let me know. Thanks!

This seems to have fixed the issue, although now songs don't end.

[EliteAsian123]

Okay, thanks for testing! Yes, I forgot to account for the song ending with the new setting, so that will be fixed with the next release.

I've fixed the song ending issue. If you'd like to continue playing, here is a dev-build hot-fix. Thanks again!
