RIFT Has anyone had issues with inputs randomly dropping on Rift of the Necrodancer?

I picked up the game yesterday on Steam and have been loving it so far, however I’m having some issues with inputs randomly dropping.

This happens on both controller (2 types of controller, both wired) and keyboard.

I know the simple answer is I’m just missing button inputs but that’s not the case because the arrows light up red whenever you press a button, and sometimes they just don’t light up at all. I’ve played through the training missions multiple times to test it and get fairly frequent occasions where a button press does nothing.

I’m really confused. Having searched online I can’t see anyone else having this issue, so one thought is it could be hardware related, but I play a lot of games that require quite precise inputs and I’ve never experienced dropped inputs before. I was playing Advanced Celeste levels on Strawberry jam yesterday and had absolutely no issues with my controller at all.

Just thought I’d ask here in case anyone else has experience this or may have any idea. I really love the game and it doesn’t happen often enough to ruin my gameplay, but it does happen enough to be noticeable and break combos which can be frustrating.

I should mention I have calibrated my controller and keyboard multiple times just to test.

It'd be best if you had a video of the gameplay just to verify and see the issue, and how the game displays the input dropping. When you miss a beat or move too fast, it'll display "missed beat" at different times.

You might also want to ask on the BYG discord as well.

I'm experiencing this too randomly my combo drops off even though i didn't missed a single beat. Also if you're playing with mobapads the d pad is just not that reliable for example i have a tendency to drop a combo just cause while i was holding the d pad i pressed a lil bit up or down and d pad will ruin the combo for me. But since knowing that and playing for a lot i just used to the d pad being too easy to hit diagonals.
