appearing arrows

[DDRERER]

When I play certain songs on stepmania (KBMP's M, ITG's delirium, etc.)
The arrows blink, or appear mid way up the screen, making them distracting or even more difficult to hit.

Based on this "glitch" in delirium, I determined it was because of the song's complete stops, and my use of a Cmod; and I'm pretty sure I've got that much right.

Is there any way I can fix this...or is it just something I have to live with?

try turning down the resolution and seeing if it changes, and make it windowed instead of fullscreen

gardyloo doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm assuming you're using an outdated version of SMO, because this is the exact "disappearing arrows" bug that everyone was so annoyed about. It got fixed, just upgrade.

Well...is there any way to update without losing all my scores again?

I have rc3...2nd newest from SMO.com, newest kept giving me a glitch before :/.

You don't know what you're talking about. If you are using a CMod(like C500 or whatever) and it comes to an arrow where the beat stops(the arrows don't move), then that arrow blinks. CMods change the speeds of all arrows to that number except arrows that go at 0BMP. Do you understand?

Wait...so what am I supposed to do; I would imagine that that glitch could be fixed, but I don't want to lose all my scores re-d/ling for nothing.

Do I just live with it, or can I do something about it?

wow, sorry Mr. tnyhwk900- when I used to play fullscreen the arrows would skip all the time
I guess I was wrong though, I never saw that

Ok, because everyone else is ignoring you...

In you current version of SMO go into the Data folder. Copy the Local Profiles folder somewhere. Download the newest version and install it. Once it is installed completely run the game once. Close the game and go back into Data and replace the Local Profiles folder with the old one you copied.
