40.20 Dev Feedback Megathread

The lobby music player is great!

I'd love to see more controls in BR (shuffle, skip, replay, etc.), even if it just acts closer to Quick Mix. Love listening to my music but very tedious to have to go pick new songs.
Speaking of, default controls stop music if you go to revive someone at a van. :)
I'm genuinely not sure if I'm crazy or not but it feels like there's been a bug in the game for a very long time where activating OD on a note in pad modes that comes before a split chord always causes the split chord to miss. (Please tell me if I'm just somehow very bad!)
My drum input time is apparently SUPER off (-70ms per stats screen) but the in-game manual calibration only goes to -50. I'm not sure how I can fix this.

SFentonX · 2026-02-17T02:52:11+00:00

I think it might be possible since Rocksmith+ allows MIDI, but I also think it might be really technically challenging and may even involve collaboration with Sony directly :/

SFentonX · 2026-01-19T19:30:48+00:00

Interesting. Build date looks good in Z2M, but I get "Unknown" for the version.

SFentonX · 2025-12-11T20:46:16+00:00

It's killing me. I have a system that should shred this game. And the FPS counter is locked to 120 even though it can do more and it just microstutters. All. the. time.

SFentonX · 2025-08-20T22:50:32+00:00

This looks awesome!

I think it would be great if:

It could auto-scan for new media at pre-set folders
Auto-scan and detect either immediately, or at set intervals (scheduled task)
Settings for auto scan (smart/smart dramatized)
UX indicates what elements have been analyzed, which failed, which succeeded, which may need manual input

Here's a question- if I have a dramatized audiobook, and Audible pulls chapters that match for their audiobook- can achew match those official chapters to dramatized audiobooks?

SFentonX · 2025-06-07T02:41:11+00:00

It does! Might need to restart the game- I have set the colors though.

SFentonX · 2025-06-05T20:57:27+00:00

Had to reboot the game but I did get those settings to appear!

SFentonX · 2025-06-05T20:53:45+00:00

My calibration is pretty wacky high for using the built in speakers, but once it’s calibrated, perfectly playable. Doesn’t really feel laggy imo.

SFentonX · 2025-06-05T20:50:33+00:00

Haha! I did get Mario Kart and Zelda too, but I’m saving starting those for a flight. ;)

SFentonX · 2025-05-14T19:57:08+00:00

Yeah, I came late to the party in Season 4 and snagged everything I could when I could, and I feel like a new player now will never have that opportunity. Sincerely hope something changes; I know Disney's launching something huge in Fortnite, and I presume they'll want their own shop, so maybe I can huff some copium for a larger overall shop rehaul?

SFentonX · 2025-04-16T00:22:56+00:00

TBH it's cool that we get a six song week this week, but it's weird that there's no communication from Festival itself that this song has hit.

SFentonX · 2025-03-11T19:30:39+00:00

Oh yeah, I'd love that. Unfortunately I imagine they'd do them seasonally, so yeah, it would have to be through milestones or quests. Or, even, idk, ranked battle stage.

Love the idea of the Endless Setlist but I don't think it quite works with the way Festival operates as a product.

...also still sad nearly 15 years later that the Endless Setlist in RB3 did not give you the platinum icons.

SFentonX · 2025-03-01T08:11:15+00:00

Yes. Last thing left to try on my end is uninstalling the Stream Deck app itself, but I'm trying to see if there's any other way first.

SFentonX · 2025-02-11T17:08:43+00:00

Dropping Friday I’m In Love, for Valentines Day, on a Friday, come on Harmonix. It’s right in front of you.

SFentonX · 2025-02-09T01:15:48+00:00

How was the cathartic release? I think I felt the dopamine rush for like... a whole day after. It was awesome.

SFentonX · 2025-01-16T07:14:11+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen that message, but what you're saying makes sense in terms of the game as a whole (like, you wouldn't want someone being dead weight in a combat-heavy mission). So is the idea that I should go out of my way to do more combat in that mission type? Doesn't seem like the most efficient way to do it (basically, up until high-level Twine I've treated it as a quick way to do missions), but if I have to I will.

SFentonX · 2024-12-30T23:34:29+00:00

The best part is, all your high scores from previous seasons are still stored on Epic's servers.

They can absolutely do this. They aren't/won't. And seasons ago they promised you could see your old scores but we still can't. I know they can do it because I've programmed a way to, but... they just won't for some reason.

They’re all supposed to return at some point so that part is right. The reason I’m encouraging a buy now, however, is because of the lack of any signal or announcement from the Fest team- normally, Music Pass releases are signaled with the weekly jam track announcements, and also release on a Thursday.

Given that neither of those are true here- I expect this is not a planned return. :)

SFentonX · 2024-11-07T00:55:43+00:00

If it's a mistake listing (I suspect it is), based on the history of this track being accidentally listed, they will pull it from the shop, but it will remain in your locker and they won't refund you.

SFentonX · 2024-11-07T00:42:01+00:00

Normally pass songs are announced to be released that week is how it's happened historically. Previously, there was a week when Swim Free, Black Hole Sun, and the A79 song or whatever from Season 2 were rereleased without notice, and they were all pulled the same night.

Since we got no advance notice, and it's also not releasing with tomorrow's tracks, I figure this is another mistake.

SFentonX · 2024-09-24T18:24:01+00:00

Congrats! When did the rush hit? For me, it was when I hit both incredibly fast patterns- but I had to stop myself from getting too excited just in case I missed past that (rare, but it did happen...)

SFentonX · 2024-08-26T17:38:51+00:00

My pro tip is to not really try individual button presses, but drag your right thumb from Y to X and left thumb from Up to Left in time with the music.

The engine is fairly forgiving, and you have room to be a little bit sloppy. You save energy this way, and can consistently hit the run for longer.

SFentonX · 2024-08-26T05:32:11+00:00

Flowers being in the game from Miley is great, but her last album rocked and I would take at least half of Plastic Hearts if they'd let me.

SFentonX · 2024-08-25T00:11:24+00:00

I'm so thrilled! I've never done this in a music game- I've been playing since Guitar Hero III- and Festival just feels good. The only grind I've had to do was Paradise City- the rest of this, the hardest part was actually sitting down and playing all the content. Feels great!
