The Bongo Circle: A Konga Beat Forum

[ricerca]

I kinda want to make this a showcase too, since I worked on a custom chart for one song.
And I was absolutely excited to show it off. But then when I tried to playtest it, Konga Beat just froze.
It's just stuck in the screen "Connecting to Konga Launcher..."
So I tried to export it to manually playtest the chart. But then it too got stuck in "Exporting Project..."

Since I had no moding experience, and there's not much instructions on troubleshooting Konga Beat, I legit don't know what to do now.

Just to make troubleshooting easier... I'd attached the screenshots, but the forum isn't corroborating, so I'll just have to describe it for now.
Only the artist is in Japanese text; the song title is written in English.
And I set up Konga Launcher as instructed (attached the Dolphin .exe and the .iso for Donkey Konga 2).

I'm sorry you're running into so much trouble! Would you be open to uploading your project file on Google Drive or Dropbox and sharing it with me? (either posting a link here or PMing me)

Sure thing.
It's not finished yet though, so I'll send it through PM.

Thanks! I was able to diagnose the issue. Turns out it's a bug with how Konga Beat handles some text (in this case, the song title). I'll have an updated build with the fix shortly.

Thanks for the diagnoses. What would be the fix for that issue for now?

Edited for clarification: What should I, and anyone else, do to at least mitigate this bug from preventing exporting and play-testing our songs?

I believe the short term fix would be to clear the song's title and type it in manually. That said, I uploaded an updated build to Dropbox. I'll probably update the version on itch.io either later tonight or tomorrow.

Thank you for reporting this!

One last thing: Does Konga Beat support Japanese, or any other language (for example, French, German, and Chinese), text?

From my understanding, the Donkey Konga games only support Shift JIS characters, so Konga Beat has only been tested against those.
