drum fill glitch

has this happened to anyone yet?

quite a few times there have been a drum fill but the colors were washed out on it and there were the normal notes for the song ontop of it. My band has actually failed because of it because that fill was supposed to revive a band member.

i missed it of course, i was over on the RY pads about to kill that section when i saw a green come out of nowhere on the board and fly by

I noticed this happening in multiplayer. I have yet to test this hypothesis, but the times that I notice it are when you have energy and see a fill section coming up, but a band mate fails out before you get to playing the fill section. Anyone else notice it in those situations?

This glitch seems to happen when another band member fails while the drummer is in the middle of a freeform fill/SP activation.

This has happened a few times on different songs, but only when playing multiplayer. This is definitely a bug, but is so intermittant it would be tough to troubleshoot for the programmers.

I figured it out after a few times and just play the notes like normal. Meaning, when this happens the game thinks you are not in a free fill. I guess this would be simply a video glitch.

Aah, this happened to me again just last night.

It definitely seems like it's happening when a band member fails just as your drum fill comes up. In other words, the worst possible time if you're the only one with spare Energy to save the bum who failed. I'm assuming from my inability to do so that you can't actually activate Overdrive when this glitch happens? I might just be messing it up, but if this does happen right when a band member fails and does prevent you from activating Overdrive I could see it ending a lot of duo sessions.

Here's my theory on why this happens.

If you enter Overdrive and your bandmate failes, the Overdrive mode is disabled. Perhaps a drum fill is seen as a "Pre-Overdrive" mode, and when a band mate fails, this Pre-Overdrive mode is disabled in the same fashion, reverting back to the normal Non-Overdrive mode.

Or maybe the game has no idea what the fuck is going on and what I said has no bearing on the reasons behind the glitch.
