One day my acc moved to the right on the score meter so normally i checked advise to fix this problem. I've tried many things like:
1.Changing scroll speed- DIDNT WORK (even worse results, my acc was all over the place)
2.Changing my skin to a difrent one- DIDNT WORK, had even worse scores
3.Changing offset - DIDNT WORK
4.Changing HitPosition in skin.ini - Kinda worked but not really
5.Playing without hidden (since i always play with it)- DIDNT WORK
After trying all those things i gave up and left it as it is. Then whenever i played easier maps, my score meter now was showing me that i'm hitting too EARLY. so again i tried all those things but none of the things worked. Now i'm stuck with me hitting or too early, or too late. What should i do? Should i practice on easier maps? Should i try using hardrock ? Im stuck

Ps. hitting too early: Sahara 4,03* ; hitting too late: Katayoku No Tori 4,83*

Sounds to me like its an error with your reading moreso than the settings youre using, based on your example.

If you're "reacting" to notes more than you are actually "reading" them, then it makes sense that you would be early on a map you find easier (sahara), but hit late on a faster, more dense stream oriented chart that you cant react to as quickly. If this is indeed the cause of your innacuracy, i would focus on reading rhythms via the song audio more than with your eyes so its more intuitive to "lock into" a rhythm and stay on time.

You mentioned hardrock, and while playing OD10 isn't a bad idea and can help you with your reading, it by itself isnt going to help you if you just go back to "reacting" on faster charts without hardrock.

I'd suggest playing with a vision mod like hidden, or even better, flashlight to force yourself to use the song for timing more.

These mods hide the bottom (or top) of the screen where the receptors are. If you are using visual cues for timing, this will really wreck your accuracy at first. If you begin to listen more closely to the music and predict which sounds the notes are going to line up with, you can learn to use music cues much more quickly than if you tried this without vision mods.

Also, when focusing on improving accuracy stick to things you can at LEAST get an S on.

I'll try to play easier maps for now and try to focus on the audio rather than the notes itself. I'm just worried that im not gonna improve and stay on the same level that i am right now. But anyways thx for the help :)
