New release brings huge bug fixes, performance improvements and a few new features. Those of you that wanted an in-between for fps limiting can now choose the 120fps limit option for the best of both worlds. Performance of extended chat is now improved, and avatar load issues should all be resolved. AIMod has become more powerful, as well.

WoW good job peppy and intermezzo ^^, and thanks ;D

Nice job, peppy and Intermezzo!!

I'll put the vector movements addition to good use.

<3

Thank you! ^^ that is very impressive

Lovin' this. Lots of nice stuff here. It's the little things that often matter. Also...

(*) [peppy] Avatar cache moved to a more subtle location, automatically purged. Removed manual purge option.

Just wonderin', is that why there was a Maintenance bar (that lasted a while) when I started up osu! after patching, or was it something else?

After this update, the Osu screen bug!

Yep - for the time being avatar cache is per-session. I will rethink this moving forward, but in order to fix the performance issues people were having with extended chat I've fallen back to a simplistic approach for the time being.

Another images of the bug





The screen image is fading and returning

@PedroGabriel: please update again and see whether it helps.

I was worried something was wrong with caching until I read this, as updating caused the cache to be emptied.

Aaaahhh!!! The huge list of bug fixes!!

Did the update and gave the same...

then again I read the changelog and saw that you increased the frame rate to 120, my video card can only hold up to 80 then moved to 60 and I will get well!
thanks for the help anyway!

I have temporarily disabled updating to this new version as local scores are deleted on running it. For those who lost their local scores (sorry) you can retrieve everything but date data by going into the osu!\Data\r\ folder and dragging replays back into the osu! window. If you don't wish to do this, I may release an automated tool to restore data if there is enough demand for it (reply in this thread if you are affected and MUST have your local scores back).

This should be resolved tonight for those which have not yet updated.

I'll just do what you said. Thanks for the heads-up peppy.
The DATES aren't so important as the SCORES themselves.

Edit: Eww, I have to do one by one? That's 759 drags then!

Whoa! Lots of updates!

Impresiveness!

Domo Arigato for the forewarning

(*) Extended chat (F9) performance improvements.

Thanks man, I had serious lags everytime I opened f9 chat for a while now, but it's running perfect again :>

I rather use a tool to gain all of my local scores back. But it isn't to much of a necessity for me although I have 2000+ files that need to be done which is the only issue of why I want the tool.

Great!!! Its Time to update via osu! updater thought it always get stuck in 38% when ing libraries.zip
Peppy have you ed the Update version in the section too? Since I'm planning to reinstall it

Would you please read further than your nose?

Sorry but this way you have back only local scores, is there a way to bring back also local replays?

If you actually tried the method I mentioned, you will notice that thsi does restore replays.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

Ach so... since I don't know the specified time of 'tonight' by the mean time its already 22:28 (GMT+7), well I'm forget the locations of the server itself. At the first I assumed it was in AU... ^^ thanks!

same I only have 1505 files but it's still much

The fix will likely have to wait until later today.

A brand new EXE?

I would like to have a way for my scores to be automatically put back in, seeing as though I have plenty of replays and I use them to help me see where to improve.

(sorry for any rage) >.>

b1024 is up to fix said problems. If you still don't have your local scores back after updating, please report here.

I still don't have local scores back, after updating to the latest version...

They may not come back if you didn't enable "save local replays". Check the contents of your osu!\Data\r folder

It has a bunch of replays, but far fewer than the number of maps I have, and all of them were modified today... As far as I can tell it only contains local replays from today.

a majority of my replays were restored but a good amount didnt :/
and now theres a "a" folder in osu\data\?

I can't offer more than what was recovered unfortunately.

I have no Local replays and no new ones are saved either. I have "Save local replays" checked but still nothing.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

Found out a little more about it. I played a map couple of times that had no local replays and had Save local replays checked each time. Only the first play-through had the replay saved, but the others have no View Replay button.

I'm positive I had the Save local replay option checked everytime. I exported all the replays but only 1 is in the replay folder (Guessing it overwrites if you export more than once from the same song?). Anyways, I can't get this .osr file to open. I drag into osu!, double click, and open with osu! but nothing happens.

I couldn't attach in this post so I ed to mediafire: (Hatsune Miku - Everwhite)
http://www.mediafire.com/.php?d0neiji0our

o.o!

Hmhm, happened to me too. I wanted to save a replay, so I checked "Save Local Replay" and "Export Replay as .osr" (just to be sure), but I still can't watch the replay.

Also, dragging the .osr (from the Replays folder) to osu! will get me to the results screen, but the "View Replay" button doesn't appears. Kinda... weird.

I should my .osr, but I think Nexy's example is enough.

The "a" folder is an avatar cache for more efficient loading of the s. You'll notice that the "Avatars" folder is gone.

I've been having the same problem with saving my replays. I selected "Save Local Replay" and it wouldn't save. Tried with "Export Replay as .os" checked and it does create and .os file in the replays folder but it just says the score I got at that time and wont allow me to watch the replay.

Someone on the chat told me to try pressing F2 and getting a replay saved by that. Also tried that but it has the same effect as "Export Replay as .os". So confused...
