Major gh3 timing issues for ps3

Yeah I can't seem to fix it but I'll try what was mentioned..maybe it was a problem just with the first patch? Maybe people who JUST got it aren't having the issues...I think it would help if people would start mentioning WHEN they got the game and what they use.

Anyone notice the frets are way harder too? I can only tap TTFAF on PS2.

Bumping in case anyone finds some real good solutions.

Bump for the same reason. I'm also off to exchange my bundle for bundle number three. Hopefully I finally get one that works as it should.

[EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand guess what? This one doesn't fucking work properly either. This is absolutely fucking ridiculous. I'm out of words.]

[EDIT 2: RedOctane just told me they would not exchange it because it hasn't been beyond 30 days. They told me to just take it back to the store I got it from. Because, you know, if the first one doesn't work, the second one doesn't work, and the third one doesn't work, then by golly, the fourh one is GUARANTEED to work properly!!!]

did you try switching the audio-output to lcpm-2?
did you try reseting your lag calibration?
did you try arbitrarily selected milliseconds of lag fixing?
did you try component cables?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but... if you're on you're fourth copy and it's still not working for you, and yet it's working for other people (such as myself), then it's either your hdmi cable, your ps3, or your tv. I'd try every option you can. Otherwise, you being able to play gh3 on your ps3 may not be technically feasible. I would posit also that if it doesn't work on your ps3, you would have the same issue with a 360 or wii. Unless you changed video input styles.... vga/composite/hdmi/etc.

I dunno, but best of luck.

On a side note, did anyone try changing to the other channel? Did it work for anyone *other* than me? heh I'd like to know if my results are generalizable to other systems/situations. heh

The ps3 guitar has a wireless lag. I guess people are saying the lag is 31 ms. So since the guitar has a lag, you have to decide if you want the music to line up with the notes (0 ms offset with SD) or the guitar strumming to line up with the notes (+31 ms offset). You can't have everything sync up.

The reason the 360 or Wii do not have this problem is because the systems were designed for a 2.4 ghz wireless connection. They don't have a stupid usb dongle. The ps3 has bluetooth, but they were not smart enough to use it.

I tried 2 bundles and tried every method: HD, SD, composite, component, HDMI, s-video, you name it. I gave up on the ps3 version and I've been playing the ps2 version with the SG and it is perfect.

So unless they come out with a wired or bluetooth guitar, there is no good solution. I mean look at the scores for ps3, they are pathetic.

The ps3 guitar does *NOT* have a 31 ms lag. It's the sound that comes up late. Sure, people say they will strum and the sound comes up about half a second later than it should, but that is the SOUND. Strum when u hav a combo going and you will see that you ended the combo first, the sound will happen later.

...sorry it just makes me mad when people sayt he controller lags X_X

*sigh*

Yeah, I'm sure the sound is the problem in a rhythm game.

If you using a HD tv or external speakers, you're sound may be off. And THAT can be calibrated.

It can't be completely calibrated. You can either set to play along with the music, or the chart. If you set it to the music, then you have literaly no room to play a note late. It's basically like percision mode without it actually being on. I've been getting a lot more used to it now, but I still wish they'd send out a patch to improve the lag calibration option or something

Beat TTFaF on Expert X360, went to friend's house to show them how to get past the intro, couldn't pass the intro on their PS3. Calibrated lag 4 or 5 times, all failed, song/notes were still somewhat out of sync. AND the controller lagged sometimes, I am completely sure of it. I had to preempt a lot of notes, the only thing that was successful is staring above the notes and just kind of guessing when I should hit it. To pass it I had to mute the game. Never managed to 100% the intro though on their game though.

Total garbage. That USB dongle thing is retarded. Should have just made the god damn thing wired if it was going to screw up a rhythm game.

How the hell does this get through testing? Did they just write it off and assumed it would be fixed through calibration?
