IIDX 31 Common Problems/Tips
!!! note "Author Note:" For lightning specific issues, see lightning cab notes
My Game Is Running Crazy Fast!
!!! tip "" The most common reason for this is the game is running over its required 60hz or 120hz framerate, depending on if you're in LDJ or TDJ mode. The game is hardcoded to run at these specific framerates and this cannot be changed. To solve this, set your monitor's refresh rate to match if you're in LDJ 60hz or TDJ 120hz mode. You can always check on the game's monitor check if the game is fluctuating around 59.94hz, the NTSC standard or around 120.00hz. If it's not around there and your monitor is indeed set correctly for the given mode, consider trying a different panel or forcing vsync on in your GPU's graphics settings.
Occasional Game Stutters During Play
!!! tip ""
Sometimes you might have occasional stutters during play, while solutions can vary wildly from general performance issues to bad hard drives, try adding SpiceTools -realtime parameter to your .bat file.

My Game Audio Is Super Quiet!

Which Offset Is Which?

When I Run This Game All Other Background Audio Is Gone! What's Going On?
