    It's the easiest way to make sure we're looking at the same thing and that there isn't some detail you overlooked. But I'm still not seeing it, either in 2.50.x or latest, so... Hmm. It seems unlikely that this would be something OS-specific, but clearly something is different. I'll look at it some more.
    If anyone else can confirm it in the meantime, that would be helpful.

    - The midi bug. Much rarer than it used to be, maybe happens once or twice in 20 hours of playing a quest, but I thought this thing had been fixed long ago?
    No idea. Any particular MIDIs it happens with more often than others?

    - The UI tends to stop listening to the keyboard after a while. Makes continue warping take much longer. Really annoying when you're trying to enter a cheat code and have to restart the program. (Though at this point I just use MHS to lock the value to 4 at all times lol.)
    That one's an Allegro bug. I don't know if we can work around it.

    I think it was the desert dungeon in Hero of Dreams it first happened to me, and then it happened two more three times? (I think this is the Sky Dungeon from Minish Cap?). So it might happen more often with some midis than with others? And it's happened a number of other times in other songs on other quests, but I didn't write anything down.

    While I'm here I'll mention the two most annoying bugs that keep cropping up... One figures you guys probably know about these.
    - The midi bug. Much rarer than it used to be, maybe happens once or twice in 20 hours of playing a quest, but I thought this thing had been fixed long ago?
    - The UI tends to stop listening to the keyboard after a while. Makes continue warping take much longer. Really annoying when you're trying to enter a cheat code and have to restart the program. (Though at this point I just use MHS to lock the value to 4 at all times lol.)

    I know you'd rather have separate threads but this is probably it for me here for a while. Happy debugging :p.
    The KB issue is an Allegro bug that affects Win 7, and later; and Linux builds IIRC. I have plans to update Allegro to the latest 4.4x release, as this may fix that problem; but really, the present patch-y workarounds may prove detremental if we go to 4.4x, so....it's a long road.

    What specific MIDI issue do you encounter in 2.50.2?

    I'm honest surprised they haven't updated it themselves.

    The midi stops playing, usually there's a note playing and it just holds that note forever. This occurs maybe once or twice a quest. It starts working again once you encounter another midi or something.

    I didn't think to ask before: this happens in all quests, right? If it happens in a quest where you've done nothing but give Link Nayru's Love, I would expect it to happen everywhere.

    HoD had plenty of MIDI issues on 2.10, so it's entirely possible that Shoelace used MIDI files that have some kind of faults, or it could be something carried over in 2.10 quests to 2.5. Might want to check that.

    I was talking about the Nayrus love glitch, the midi bug is an allegro thing and I go no where near it.

    The midi bug has happened in 2.5 quests about as often. Has it happened to other people? Because it seems crazy to me that nobody else would have mentioned it. And the Nayru's thing shouldn't be hard to verify either... What's weird about my machine? Is it the win 10 IDK?
