Maverick got stuck on this generator longer than he would like to admit.
Holding the Third Button To Get Past the Generator
The generator adds an extra mechanic previous obstacles did not. On the third button of the sequence, you need to not just time correctly but also hold the button. It is fairly easy to miss if you’re used to just pressing buttons in time. By holding the button until the circle reaches the end of the next sequence, you’ll usually get past the generator.
The reason I say “usually” is because there are is a significant amount of people that still run into trouble. These issues are then not because they didn’t follow the instructions of the game but because of other factors.
Other Factors That May Cause Issues
Most people running into issues while following the game’s instructions are playing on PC. Other issues are latency-related. Most of their problems seem to be fixed by trying one of these things:
- Changing their controller or even trying to play without a controller for a while. It seems that some controllers are not very compatible with the “hold button” mechanic of Hi-Fi rush. Quite a few people passed the generator on their first try after changing their controller or temporarily removing it.
- Turning Low Latency Input off or on. There does not seem to be an optimal setting here. Depending on your setup, you may be better off having this option on or off. Just like with the previous solution, quite a few people reported passing the generator on the first try after changing this setting.
