---------------------
Instructions: Just unzip the hotfix into your Alarian 2.6 main folder (where FretsOnFire.exe and the data folder reside). It will replace your fretsonfire.ini with a fresh one (back up yours if you want to refer to old settings) and various files in the Alarian\data folder.If anyone finds problematic note patterns with the after-chord HOPOs, please confirm by performing multiple tests with the various HOPO options, and then create a blank / silent song containing just the problematic pattern and send it to me to use for debugging. Please ensure that your test song exhibits the same problem, if not you need to include more surrounding notes.Remember, my hotfixes are cumulative - the latest fix contains all previous fixes unless otherwise noted.

* "Slightly Late" when you are hitting a bit later
* "Late" when you are hitting a bit later

Post****A new function has been written to ensure the miss volume is refreshed after unpausing
*****You may now adjust your miss volume in-game and hear the effects immediately
Hotfix #11 -

Post****Under "Visual Settings," you can enable a numerical note hit accuracy display by setting "Accuracy" to "On."
*****In the game, a number will appear when you hit a note. This number represents your hit accuracy.
******An accuracy of 0 means you hit the note exactly at the right time.
******An accuracy of greater than 0 means you hit the note early.
******An accuracy of less than 0 means you hit the note late.
******The accuracy will dissappear when you miss, or pause the game.
******If you are always hitting late (negative numbers), try DECREASING your audio delay.
******If you are always hitting early (positive numbers), try INCREASING your audio delay.
