DukAmok Originals problem

[DDRERER]

Some of the originals that I d/l'd from Duk's collection on bemanistyle are really...I guess you could say choppy.

in specific the files that don't work are:
Stratofortress v2
Brace Yourself v2
and Bring me to life

The glitching is kind of like lag, but it's even there in the music demo thing when you're scrolling over the song in the menu. It makes the arrows appear to be boosting so fast and then slowing once they reach the "step zone"...but it's not that simple, the music is also choppy, and the steps race up with it.

I've tried checking the mp3 and wordpad files...and they appear to be normal. I played it withoud any modifiers...no difference.

I've even tried to re-download the files, and that didn't even help.

Does anyone know why I'm having this problem, or if nobody has any idea what's going on...where I can get the first two of those stepfiles?

RE: DukAmok Originals problem

bpm changes maybe? I don't have those songs.

[DDRERER]

maybe...lol, I just realized I can't even play it in edit mode without it skipping like that...

After I tried to re d/l stratofortress v2 again today

Turn down the resolution of your SM. Waaaaay down.

[DDRERER]

lol, sorry man...that didn't work either.

It was the exact same even on the lowest possible resolution. There must be something wrong internally in the file...

[super-smashman]

Are you using RC2 or RC3?

[DDRERER]

I dunno what you mean...when you said resolution I just checked graphics options and turned them all down

[super-smashman]

Er, no, which version of SM is it. RC2 or 3. (probably 2 if you didn't update recently)

[DDRERER]

StepMania 3.9 alpha 23...that's all I got

[hydrojakep]

What framerate are you getting?

[DDRERER]

70-80 FPS...prolly 75 average on highest resolution
85-95 FPS...90 average on lowest

I know exactly what you're talking about, I had that problem with several other files of his like Die MFer Die, Beyond Abilities and K8107. Unfortunately, I don't know what the problem was. I was having the same issue with other files as well, not just Duk's.

When it happened, I reinstalled and it fixed, haven't had it since. Out of curiosity, are you using the Techno Fiend skin? For some reason that problem only happened for me when I was using that theme.

[DDRERER]

nope...I'm just using the default skin...I did re-d/l the program too, I'll try again now, didn't think that would help tho.

Thanks for all the suggestions tho

Ok the problem is your sound drivers. You probably have the buggy AC'97 ones and that is why it is glitching. I would recommend installing the new Stepmania that came out a few days ago because I think it fixed that problem or just update your sound drivers.

[DDRERER]

Ack...nope, I have the current stepmania (got it yesterday), and I tried the stepfiles, and they still don't work

You can add Duk's REBIRTH to that list aswell.
