Desynced intro

[aqualuzara]

Ever since 2.2.11 (i think?), the fade time between intro scenes has become longer which has made it very noticeably desynced from the music

Oh god, I noticed too. I thought it was only me with my old computer, but...it's not, thankfully.
It's too bad...they were made for each other!
(Happy New Year's, by the way!)

ah, so it isnt just me noticing this

ah, so it isnt just me noticing this

i also noticed that

oh hi luigi budd

 

[123stupidguy]

i saw this too but i thought it was because "mountain" has more letters than "city" and the intro music was made with "city" in mind
the whole fade time thing makes more sense though

the fades werent changed at all between 2.2.13 and older versions (2.2.9) so i assume this is something new with the new interpolation feature, causing the timer to tick down slower (?)

Spoiler: code

as you can see, all fades are the same length between the 2 versions
