Vocal Overdrive Deploy for Karaoke

You can now trigger Overdrive just by singing into your mic during an Overdrive phrase. Want to stick with button input instead? Toggle it off in Festival settings.

• Starting with this update, the cymbal hit score bonus will now apply when playing Pro Drums with at least one cymbal enabled

• Improved frequency of Overdrive gem spawning during Pro Drums gameplay

• Fixed Instrument Variety bonus for Karaoke players

• Fixed an issue with incorrect animations when joining a party already on Jam Stage

See you in the new game update!

Good alternative Overdrive option because I sometimes forget to use it on controller at the perfect moment.

Jam Stage is still incredibly unstable! Lag and stuttering whrn opening wheels / adding tracks after just a few minutes of gameplay, stutters even when you aren't playing yourself, but just listening to someone else swap a track... This is the second update since the new season and zero improvements on jamming performance. The Quick Mix UI is taking up considerable screen space and can't be disabled. Players who are actually engaged in the mode don't even touch that window; it’s just sitting there taking up space and making the Jamming UI unstable. Give us the option to disable it!!!

There is still a bug present that always shows up when a new season is released. For PRO LEAD and PRO BASS, after emote breaks, the first note misses due to over-strumming. This breaks combos and ruins dreams of 100% songs. I play on PC with a CRKD guitar. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi.. You're my only hope..

Finally not the only one noticing... Hoped that they fixed it this update, seems like it's not...

Hi, I have a problem when I go to karaoke, the arrow doesn't appear and I don't understand what the problem is

Hi Festival Dev Team!

The Jam/Emote wheel is very laggy and buggy. If you open and close it a "few" times, the game starts dropping FPS while you are selecting a new emote or a jam track (both the wheel and the collection tab where you can search for emotes and jam tracks). Long jamming sessions are basically impossible without having to back out to the lobby and back on jam stage.

This affects EVERY SINGLE MODE AND THE LOBBY TOO!!!

Please look into this, this problem is present on PC, PS5 AND XBOX to my knowledge

Madcatz drum kit still isn't working fully, yellow and blue pads are not registering any hits, red and green are fine and the controller is now picked up by fortnite (on xbox atleast) just the 2 pads that have issues, any fix coming soon ?

Please add mobile support 😭😭😭

So two full updates and you still haven’t fixed the FPS drop when opening the emote wheel and Jam Tracks??? Seriously we’re tired of this 😭 My FPS literally drops to 17 whenever I start mixing. Why can’t you guys fix it?
