Bug Report: Song may restart at the end while missed notes pass by

[NotHyper-474]

Issue Checklist

• I have properly named the issue
• I have checked the issues/discussions pages to see if the issue has been previously reported

What platform are you using?

Itch.io (Web)

If you are playing on a browser, which one are you using?

Firefox

Version

0.5.0

Context (Provide images, videos, etc.)

After a song ends, it might repeat once more. While this is happening "ghost" notes pass by.
Edit: In certain cases it seems like it'll keep repeating from where you last paused and basically getting you stuck unless you don't keep pausing and unpausing.

Steps to reproduce (or crash logs, errors, etc.)

• Just play any song until the end. (I was testing this on Freeplay - Pico character, might need more testing.)
  This might not always happen and seems to occur more frequently on web builds when using Unlocked Framerate, but it is not necessarily caused by it.

I managed to reproduce this bug back in v0.4.1, but I simply thought it was an issue with one of my mods.

[EliteMasterEric]

Definitely looking for help diagnosing/reproducing this.

I was encountering the same issue but can only reproduce it on web. I also use firefox.

Yeah I was trying it on the standalone build but couldn't reproduce it. Could be a browser / web version specific issue.

I also had managed to reproduce it in that version while I was testing #2706, but I was on WSL and couldn't replicate it again afterward.

Encountered this one at the end of Cocoa Erect on itch.io Web.

Were you perchance in Firefox as well?

[Hundrec]

I was using Brave when this happened

[KATBOI667]

Had this exact same thing happen to me on both DadBattle Pico & Blammed Pico

Opera GX, btw

[Denoohay]

Had this issue happen to me in the windows build during my first time playing Pico (Pico Mix).

[Hundrec]

Just replicated this bug with Bopeebo (Pico Mix) on itch.io for Brave. The clip begins on the second loop of the song and goes into the third loop (which starts in the middle of the song).

I also had this happen to me whilst playing South (Pico Mix) on Newgrounds, also on Firefox. I think the ghost notes are notes you missed the first time round and they're just wrapping round the second time.

I've observed this "wrapping around" effect as well!

[Pizzawishes]

I literally can't complete Philly Nice (Pico Mix) and Blammed (Pico Mix) because of this issue
(I'm on the Newgrounds release)

This can be happen in windows build too, just rarely unless framerate are unlocked it somehow increases the chances of it happening

[JustKolosaki]

Got this bug as well while playing 2Hot on the itch.io version, as well as while playing on the web version (using Microsoft Edge).

I think this might happen is because Conductor sets the song position to 0.0 if FlxG.sound.music is null, which also restarts the song in PlayState's stepHit() function. Not sure why onComplete doesn't want to work for FlxG.sound.music, but if I find sumthin I'll edit da comment more.

[eXteRadis]

I experienced the same thing on Chrome

[NotHyper-474]

Apparently it's easier to reproduce this issue if Unlocked Framerate is enabled, and doesn't seem to occur when it's disabled.

i have found multiple ways to reproduce this looping bug.
1st having unlocked fps usually makes songs loop all the time they rarely dont loop with unlocked fps and i dont know why.
2nd if u restart a song the chances of a song looping increases even with unlocked fps off
3rd it seems happen randomly also? but the 2 things i mentioned above are reproduceable at least for me
(im using Opera GX to play the game and im playing through newgrounds)

[HeroDaGr8]

This just happened to me moments ago. I was playing South on Hard in Story Mode, and when the song finished it didn't end but the song replayed and ghost notes passed by. I believe those notes might be the notes I missed before the song looped? But my game broke and the sprites became black after finishing the looped song. I'm on Opera Gx playing on Newgrounds btw

[XLMdorentos]

I found how to reproduce this
You need to complete a song without misses (or maybe even without bads)
As soon as you miss for the first time all songs end as should

[NotHyper-474]

I've noticed that the position where the song loops isn't always from the beginning, but for some reason where you last paused.
If you pause and unpause enough times you can "break free" from the glitch.

Edit: Also apparently if you switch tabs the song will repeat from the last point and constantly reset that point until the song ends making the characters aggressively be forced to sync to the beat? This bug couldn't be more confusing.
Also could confirm that this bug isn't necessarily caused by Unlocked Framerates option but it does make it more common.

What a bug! Pretty fun to mess around with, but definitely game-breaking every time I play.

[Raltyro]

I feel like it has something todo with lime backend audio

[Blue2359]

Funny enough, this bug kept occurring for me when I was learning how to mod the game even before version 0.5.0; (on version 0.4...+).

It seems like the onComplete callback on the instrumental doesn't get properly called sometimes, I'm assuming?
