Major gh3 timing issues for ps3

sigh.

I so wish people would stop claiming this is the Guitar. It's not. It does the exact same thing with the controller.

This is the audio stream from the game.

If people would stop telling Activision/RedOctane/Neversoft it's the Guitar, maybe they'd actually look at the code and fix the problem. (Hey, I can dream, can't I?)

Does it matter which LCPM 2-channel option I use? There are 2 different ones right?

And, is the sound quality output the same as the 5.1 setting?

Could you find out, SiL3NcErZ? I lied, it only helped a little after playing a couple more songs with those settings. That, and the adiou sounds so much worse than it would with all the other options enabled. I'm going to experiment with having different options on at once and get back to you guys later on that. I'm pretty sure I've found the source of the problem though...

I think everyone needs to untwist their panties here. It is perfectly reasonable to think that everyone is having issues stemming from MANY different areas of the game. It is well documented that there is lag from the guitar IN SOME CASES. It is also well documented that there is lag from the different audio/video outputs IN SOME CASES. Everyone is so intent on proving they are right when the truth is, more than one person is probably right because there is more than one problem going on here.

Sorry, but no. There is no possible way to have lag from a working Guitar.

Well, ok...there's lag. In the neighborhood of nanoseconds. Nobody is noticing that lag. Unless you are playing hundreds of miles away from your receiver.

If you have noticeable lag from the Guitar you have a busted Guitar.

*EDIT* The reason why I'm pissed people keep blaming the guitar is if it was really Guitar lag, there is nothing that Neversoft/RedOctane can do about it. They can't pre-predict you strumming to do it ahead of time.

The fact that it is the audio stream is something they can fix. People confusing the matter by claiming it's the Guitar are making it so that RO/NS can ignore the problem and claim "We can't fix that".

I have problems with One (I have the PS2 version) when you slow it down in practice to slowest the music is one second ahead of the chart. It's not lag because every other song works perfectly, but One for some reason is fucked. Also, I'm using the GH I controller and I've tested it with the GH II controller as well, exact same issue. It's a problem with either my PS2 or the game itself.

I tried changing the XMB Sound settings to output only Linear PCM 2Ch. (44.1 kHz and 48 kHz) and that helped a lot...Further evidence that my particular problem is audio to video lag. I've been able to destroy my old scores and it feels much closer to my experience on GH1 and GH2 (it still isn't perfect, but much improved).

Unfortunately, this means that I lose the 5.1 surround and the audio isn't as crisp in this mode...but for know I prefer being able to play better.

It is silly for Activision to not admit a problem here...the Rock Band forum article clearly shows that Harmonix has acknowledged that there is a problem for combinations of HDTV and audio systems that CANNOT be solved by their previous calibration system.

Rock Band will calibrate on 2 independent variables...First, you sync your audio to your video...then you sync your a/v to your guitar strum. This should fix just about every problem on this thread (and I think there are several independent problems going on here).

The release of Rock Band for the ps3 and the comparision between it and GH3 will be the real test...if everyone experiencing problems on GH3 does not have equivalent problems on Rock Band, then we know the developers of GH3 dropped the ball big time.
