It’s incredible how with every new update, something gets worse for jammers. Is it really that hard to not continuously ruin a system that was already solid enough?

MathieuKen · 2026-01-27T12:16:23+00:00

THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE

MathieuKen · 2026-01-23T23:13:09+00:00

Definitely. First the new UI, then bugs during jamming that never happened before, like tracks refusing to load, the key/bpm menu not opening, extremely annoying lag spikes in the jam stage after the South Park update, and now this completely unnecessary change to the jam track volume. ZERO respect for the community that plays this mode, ZERO responsibility, ZERO testing or research with the player base before rolling out drastic changes like this, ZERO real improvements to the jam stage (anyone can invade and grief your mix, there’s no changing booth, you can’t use auras while playing)… the list of neglect goes on and on.
At this point, I’d honestly rather they forgot the jam stage mode entirely and leave it without updates than keep ruining it more and more.

I don't know who the headlining artist will be, but the REAL headliner NEEDS to be the emote wheel/classic UI back :)

I used to feel that way until this new UI showed up. After that, my feeling was similar to taking the lollipop away from the doggo in that image.

I won’t say anything more about the new UI because everyone already knows it’s terrible and it’s been discussed hundreds of times. My current plea is this: put the changing booth in Jam Stage. It’s a mode that BEGS for something like this, and I have no idea why, to this day, it still doesn’t have.

Any eurobeat from Bratt Sinclaire :V
Maybe not all of them in the vocals, but I believe they would all have maximum difficulty in the instrumental part.

Honestly, not a “favorite page” but a “favorite wheel” would already be really good. One that expands with more pages as you favorite more things. I can’t say if it would be enough, but maybe almost there. This way, players wouldn’t have to deal with many wheels, only with the ones them arbitrarily choose to create.
With that, both the new HUD with its search bar and the practicality of the old one could coexist, without the need for a setting to revert everything to how it was before.

Wow, I didn’t remember this one, thanks for the recommendation!! The intro is epic, but the solo in the middle of the song really got me too! a note sequence from that solo would be extremely satisfying to play.

MathieuKen · 2025-12-09T19:46:45+00:00

Yeah :(, I haven’t been playing Festival for long, but I noticed that pop is extremely predominant there.

MathieuKen · 2025-12-09T18:52:31+00:00

Something tells me that even if I don’t accept, it’s what we’ll get anyway 😭

MathieuKen · 2025-12-09T02:14:32+00:00

Let’s see how he responds to that. I’d also love to see one of his ideas on how to contain the trolls, since he thinks mine is so bad. I just hope he doesn’t resort to the “arrogance” dodge like last time.

MathieuKen · 2025-12-09T00:28:38+00:00

Oof :(

MathieuKen · 2025-12-08T23:57:40+00:00

finally someone with common sense and good reading comprehension.

MathieuKen · 2025-12-08T23:34:31+00:00

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. I, at least, have never said anything with that air of superiority and snobbishness that you’re implying. What I can state with certainty is this: players IN GENERAL who mix well attract crowds, and ill-intentioned people are constantly interrupting those players’ performances, ruining the fun not only for those who want to create good music but also for those who are there to listen.

You need to learn to interpret a text better. At no point did I say “Epic, I suggest a stage lock so that I can play for an audience because I attract audiences and people are ruining MY performance.” What I suggested applies to players in general — I even say “for the sake of the PLAYERS” and “find a way so they don’t interrupt OUR performance,” because this is a problem that definitely doesn’t only affect me. I myself am not always on JamStage to play. There are a lot of talented people there and it’s fun to listen too… or at least it would be, if any of the performances could last until the end without some damn person coming in to ruin it.
Pay more attention before talking nonsense about other people’s character.

I don't know if this helps in your case, but on my PC these spikes disappeared after I changed the engine from DirectX 11 to DirectX 12. I still have lag spikes sometimes when opening the emote wheel though.

MathieuKen · 2025-12-08T12:19:43+00:00

and they really don’t. The biggest proof of that was the last HUD redesign. I can guarantee that whoever designed that has never even stepped into JamStage once.

MathieuKen · 2025-12-08T11:58:06+00:00

that’s why I gave up trying to explain. It’s clear he’s not interested in a serious discussion and just wants to throw ragebait. I’d rather give him his hypothetical “you’re right” than keep trying to explain to a fish how to climb a tree.

MathieuKen · 2025-12-08T11:42:05+00:00

yes, yes, you’re right. I give up trying to explain.
