Troubleshooting

Audio

Encoding Issues

Some audio files can have odd encodings that BeatCraft isn't able to load correctly.
To fix most encoding issues, follow these instructions:

1. Download ffmpeg if you don't already have it. (you can check if you have it by running ffmpeg in the terminal)
2. Open a terminal (command prompt on windows)
3. run ffmpeg -i <Path/To/Broken/Audio.egg> -c:a libvorbis -qscale:a 5 <Path/To/Output/Audio.ogg> (note the .ogg instead of .egg on the output)
4. delete the old .egg file
5. rename the new .ogg file to .egg

After this, the audio should work, if you continue to have issues with audio, report it as a bug

Graphics

Framerate issues

Depending on your CPU, GPU, and RAM, you may run into issues with low framerates, here are some potential things to do that may help
If you still experience poor frame rates after trying things mentioned here, make an issue

• Increase allocated memory to around 6GB.

  • In modrinth, this is done in profile settings > Java and Memory, enable custom memory allocation and set to 6144
  • In the Minecraft launcher: add java arguments: -Xmx6144M -Xms6144M

• Use the Garbage Collector that vivecraft has determined is a good option for use while in VR: instructions

• Lower your render/simulation distances

  • put simulation distance as low as you want
  • put render distance around 8 to still be able to see most of the lightshow environments

• Disable Quality settings in-game

  • settings in order of performance impact are:
    1. Bloomfog
    2. Mirror
    3. Bloom
    4. Sky Fog
