Anyone else experiencing this??

I noticed Clearly I was doing something very wrong if you were able to beat my scores by that much though :P Congrats!

Hahahaha... I'm sure I'm still chasing after you on a bunch of songs! Good times.

As an intermediate player (or compared to some of you still a beginner), it strikes me a s bug, simply because it's not intuitive. There's nothing in the tutorials, interface, or anything else about the game that suggests why I'm breaking a streak just by switching lanes and still not missing the next note.

If it can be fixed it should, it's not the fault of the gamer if the gamer isn't being prompted as to what he/she doing wrong, Either adjust the visuals so the gamer can see what he/she has done wrong or adjust the game so that the gamer who's playing it as they were taught to play it isn't unfairly penalized for something that isn't their fault.

I disagree. You have to count that:

1) The timing window of one note is kinda long, probably somewhere near +35 ms and -35 ms
2) most of the times you try to switch when one note has just passed, hence you can go inside the +35 timing window and break the combo.
3) you just have to be careful when you shift; don't mean to brag, but I've got atm some pretty good scores made with Jackpot/Flame Notes combo, and to get a lot you have to shift lanes pretty quickly. You just have to be careful, leaving enough space between the shift and the note that passed.. That's all. If HMX releases a patch to resolve this, they would have to reduce the timing window and then you would see a lot of threads complaining about it being too strict..

I don't think it would be fitting to call this a bug. It's just like LunaticSoul said, the window of opportunity is intentionally larger than the note itself to give the player some leeway in hitting the note.

In other words, this whole thread could probably be summarized with this: if you're having this problem, re-calibrate. If the problem persists, try to manually re-calibrate using this video as a guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GZdZX9f_-U. Failing that, and without the option of playing on a display that has no latency, adjust your gameplay.

I was technically doing the latter before I manually re-calibrated, and was still able to Gold Star songs and post some leaderboard scores despite the lag by just knowing when it was and wasn't safe for me to change lanes based on my calibration settings.

tl;dr: This isn't a bug. Re-calibrate, manually re-calibrate, and/or adjust your gameplay if you are experiencing this problem.
