Why is this happening?

[mhss1992]

Now, every time I play a song, when I hit a certain arrow, it often misses for no reason. It seems to happen ramdomly, since I've tested and the four buttons are working fine in the game. It's happening even in the easiest songs, and it has never happened before! What am I supposed to do?

Your keyboard is probably beginning to lose its ability to read the buttons from all the excess mashing it undergoes. ;P

Re: Why is this happening?

There are a couple of things it could be.
1. You could be on a Vista computer which often causes things like this.
2. Your keyboard could be broken. Try mapping your keys and see if you are still experiencing problems. If not, then the keys you were using currently are messed up.
3. You could be on a wireless keyboard (causes things like this to happen)
4.Maybe the game is lagging for you. Try putting the game on low quality and see if that helps.
5. I am not trying to be rude in anyway, but you could simply just be missing the arrows yourself...This is most likely not the problem, but I can't simply rule the possibility out.
Hope all this helps.

1. Yes, I am. But how can I fix that?
2. It's not broken, i've remapped it and it's still happening...
3. I'm not.
4. No, I know when it lags. It only lags on the songs with images, like Delirium and Flight of The Bumblebee(i'll probably never AAA these songs...)
5. Hehe... No, I'm pretty positive I'm not mising them. But thanks for the answer.

But it doesn't happen when I'm typing...

Well, since you say you're on a vista, that is most likely your problem. Go to this thread. It should help you out.

Re: Why is this happening?

Thanks! I'll try to do it later... I wonder why it started malfunctioning so suddenly.

Re: Why is this happening?

I am having the same problem as well -- was working fine two days ago and now whenever I play every 20-30 notes or so notes will just randomly miss. Yes, I am using Vista but it was a fresh install (not an upgrade.)

Re: Why is this happening?

There is something called Dragmiss that could be happening. it happens when your going to hit another arrow but accidentally hit the other arrow before releasing the other two you were holding.

Ex. Hits a jump, goes to hit a single note directly after it, keeps the jump held down a bit too long.

Re: Why is this happening?

A dragmiss would only occur on a keyboard that cannot register 4 keys at one time, correct?

Yup.

Re: Why is this happening?

Nope.... my keyboard can do 4 at once with a split setup (askl)

Re: Why is this happening?

Observing more carefully this time, it seems like the notes that are misses are first judged as perfects then changing to misses. Maybe someone has seen this before?

Hopefully the answer is not 'get XP'...

Edit:

Not actually happening like this. At random, it seems that a certain arrow just won't register despite the fact that I'm pushing the button. I have tried changing key configurations but that did not help, and it happens completely at random. It's still 100% guaranteed that this is a bug or hardware issue, because I am definitely pushing the button at least near the note and it is not coming up as a Boo or anything, it just doesn't register.

Spoke a bit too soon, it looked like the above on faster streaming songs because the note immediately after (or the 'other' note on jump) will register as Perfect immediately after the key randomly misses.

Just try not to do songs with hands or quads, like Blooddrunk...
