RB3 Request a Feature, Bug Report and Suggestion Thread (no song requests)

Bug Report

Platform: PS3
Songs Affected: Whip It, Rock Lobster (though I am assuming its all songs)
Mode: Pro Keys Expert solo Quickplay
Description: I had practiced a bit through the learn a song mode on pro keys expert. So I go to play the songs and I am going for the full combo, I am restarting the son quite a bit (not sure if it contributed to the problem). But there is a point where the sound would drop out (almost like changing the radio station) and it would do this loud fuzz and then you get hit with this crazy loud bass buzz. It is for like 2 seconds. And then the song comes back in. I can confirm it doesn't effect gameplay because it happened on my full combo run and it was unaffected. But it sure does give me a jump when it happens. Its scary and discouraging because I never know when its going to happen.
And that is the ONLY mode that it has happened to me in, I've played Expert Guitar/Bass, Expert Pro Drums without problems. But the few times I did play Pro Keys this happened to what I would say is frequent since its the mode I've played least at this point.

YES! I thought this was my tv or something originally but now this confirms it. Very startling

Also, why does the Bass tracks in songs sound lower than they were before? Even with Bass boost on, my songs are lacking the bass, even DLC that was loud and clear on RB2. I play bass a lot and would like to actually hear the instrument.

A few minor things but this one pertains to the art/tatooo maker. Whenever you used to hover over a shape in RB1 or 2, it would do an animation and shake slightly to know it was selected. This was important because if you have 20 shapes all overlapping it was confusing visually. Now the shake is gone, and it makes the highly detailed tatoos much harder to make.

Also a very mundane request... the ability to navigate the UI with the keyboard keys. (not the D-pad... the actual keys themselves) This would function in the same way that the drum pads can be used to move through the menus.

Xbox360 version

I've had the game freeze up 3 times in a row in the character creator when I sent to change the eyebrows on the 'sprite' female face. I got so paranoid by the 4th time that I left her eyebrows alone and changed it in the clothes shop instead. This only seemed to happen when I immediately went to change the eyebrows after selecting the pre-set face structure. The other characters and 3 times before I made and remade the first character I went and changed things like height/weight/tone and hair before I messed with the eyes and never had a freeze up.

I've had the same issue, also on Xbox 360.

In addition to the Sprite preset face having the issue, it also shows up on the Twee and Vamp. It seems to crash anytime the eyebrows are selected and then the current choice immediately selected - it hangs instead of showing the color selection.

Moving the cursor around after selecting eyebrows seems to prevent the issue, even when moving back to the same eyebrows and selecting. I don't think any other changes prevent the issue from appearing - I specifically tested changing the character's cheeks before going to the eyebrows.

Once you move around on the eyebrow screen, it continues to not crash even if you switch the face preset. You can make it crash again after exiting the character creator and coming back. I didn't narrow it down any more than that.

Xbox 360
I don't know if this a "camera effect" or a bug, but the band sometimes gets really glitchy. They move around very slowly, and skip interpolated movements, it looks like the FPS drops by 75%. Usually the note highways are not affected, but I've had them skitter down the screen as well.

I've seen the crowd do the same thing, looks like the crowd stops moving for about 2-3 seconds, then pops to where they should be.

One thing I'd love to see fixed in a patch is the ability to turn off an instrument. I'm not sure what the criteria is, but if I transfer the main player to the gamepad or another instrument and turn off the one I was using (to save batteries or put it away), I get a "Please Reconnect Controller" message that does not go away.


Also, I love the fact that I can make my default backup band be my created characters, but it bums me out when my singer is playing drums while the keyboardist is doing lead vocals and the drummer is on keys. I wish I could lock in a default role for each of them.

There doesn't seem to be a way to create multiple bands. That would be ideal.

I'm not a big fan of the orange fret slipping into guitar on Medium. A rare occurence would be one thing, but it seems to be an enforced policy on Medium rated songs now. It takes a lot of the fun out. Creating a Medium/Orange level between Medium and Hard would have been better. I fear you're going to alienate a lot of casual players out there by making them play at a level they're not going to enjoy. For myself, playing alone, I would welcome this level of play, but it upsets me that I may have to drop down to Easy for party-play. That just doesn't seem right.

Platform: XBOX 360 (times 3)
Mode: QuickPlay

I play with two other people (all of us are remote), our setup is usually two guitars (one guitar/one bass switch per song) and drums. Tried to Quickplay last night, and could not join more than one guitar into the game. Once the first player with guitar joins, then we get a message about "No more guitars".

We tried having all three of us start the quick play then inviting the party in, and no matter what we tried we could not get the second guitar in. There does not seem to be a way to designate Bass when joining in. In the end, we had guitar, KB and drums on playing together, so it's not networking issues.

All three of us have found that RB3 is MUCH more difficult to get a quickplay started, and song sorting is worse now.

None of us is happy that the stage kit is not supported. BIG TIME FAIL HERE!

Can we please have a female session singer for female artists? Joan Jett's "I Love Rock and Roll" should not be sung by Moosejaw Boudreau.

Given the odd menu structures and other changes, we've renamed RB3 to "Rock Band: Business Edition" - we feel like it's work now to get a session together...

I'm requesting a feature...
Competitive game modes, please. At least Score Duel!

I think it would be cool to hear drummer's fills when playing on line.

it would be really nice if they could put the two colored hair back in the game.
