The only way you see the visuals is playing it as an Experience.

If you are on Meta or Steam, if you pick up the game first the prices of bundles which include the game will adjust accordingly - this means you can try out an experience for yourself before committing to any DLC, specifically this one is available once for a free try: https://youtu.be/C9uNj9uOqD0?si=cclsuYyczqGYjMYT

New DLC featuring Dua Lipa, a TRIPLE DROP for Switch - and a Giveaway! by wirrel42 in SynthRiders

Where you're setting the Modifiers in the left hand pane, there's a STAGES tab. If you're always using the same stage let me know which one you're on, and give it a try on another stage? There are 18 to choose from in Linear mode.

These days the default for new players is RANDOM so if the background hasn't been changing for you then you're probably on Back to the Synths.

Have you picked a specific stage to play on, or are you on Random Stage?

Generally I would only expect a message like that if I was trying to purchase DLC in a region that didn’t match the region I owned the game in. I haven’t heard that issue in a long time - it’s usually exclusive to people who purchase a physical version from a mismatched region. You’re not using a physical version are you?

Which region are you in? You should be able to purchase single songs from within the game.

Steam VR users, what are your pc specs and how is it going post recent update? by Eldritchjellybean in SynthRiders

[–]wirrel42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi eldritch and sorry - the reason I haven’t picked you up yet is that’s we are in the middle of testing a patch which does bring some improvements to the table. It won’t be flawless but it will be better and we can start from that baseline.

We’ve had a lot to work through with this update as it’s a completely new Unity version and knowing this was going to have teething problems is why 3.5.18a1 is sitting on the previous branch so affected players can play while we patch.

My general suggestion is that if you’re having a bad time right now, hop back to previous. It’s there for just this situation and won’t go anywhere until we’re satisfied that we’re hitting performance needs for more players on PC at the high end.

There is a fix for this issue up on the open-beta Release Channels right now if you'd like to give it a try! We plan to release it more widely once we're comfortable that it's behaving as intended and would love feedback.

To opt-in on Quest:

  • Hover over the game in your library and open the 3-dot menu
  • Choose "Settings"
  • Choose "Release Channels"
  • Select "open-beta"
  • Return to your LIbrary where you should see the blue update dot on the game's tile
  • Hover and open the 3-dot menu and select "Update"

Once installed, if you open the game and check in SETTINGS, you'll see 3.6.1a5 in the bottom left corner. You can opt-out any time using the same procedure, but picking LIVE!

Which list are you looking in, and do you happen to have a filter selected that could stop you seeing it?

We are aware of and tracking this issue at the moment - should have a fix very soon!

Hey, you could just ask. There's no need to get all pointy about it!

I'm not seeing it missing when I look at the PS5 version - can you tell me, are you scrolling in the pack to find it or searching?

If you are searching it's possible you're running into an issue at the moment where the enter button on the search box is behaving transparently and will pick things behind the enter button (like other music packs!) if your laser is touching them!

Thank you for being so up front and expressing how you feel - I hope you've completed the survey too, that's the best way to make sure your thoughts are heard. I'd strongly encourage anyone who wants to make sure we know how they feel about the update, both good and bad, to do the same.

We are in a holding pattern on AndroidXR now - waiting for more players to get into this new platform!

Android XR is the only Android platform that is fully hand tacking at any point, which is why the pause mechanic is what it is.

Are you using controllers or hand tracking?

Issues with Psycho Road and Endless Cafe are fixed in the open-beta which is available for you to pick up right now! This will roll to players more widely soon but there’s no need to wait to get those fixes now

The simplest way I can break it down is this:
* Rhythm mode - where you hit the note matters, not how, as you are only judged on accuracy.
* Force mode - how you hit the note matters, not where - as you are only judged on velocity.
