Does this by any chance help with evolve and other texture corruption issues?

Problem Details: On the tournament client, the osu windows lock at 30 fps if you don't click at them, and you only can have one running at 60 fps, the other ones run at 30.

On the video look at the fps counter whn i click on the windows (forgot to record the cursor, sorry -.-)

Don't worry, your issue is actually valid (and fixed soon) even though it doesn't happen while spectating. The menus should also be able to run at an arbitrary frame rate if so desired.

Hey !

I'm always playing with cutting edge, and I wanted to play with flashlight, and... I was seeing the whole map. Nothing changed.
I think it's a cutting edge bug, I don't know ^^

...whoa. Confirmed as of b20150508.5ce.

Issue(s) in this thread have been addressed by the following changes:

1. Don't limit frame rate when tournament clients are inactive. (Tom94)

The changes will be applied to builds newer than b20150508.5cuttingedge.

Please follow up in this thread if you believe more work needs to be done to fix the mentioned issues. If they have not yet been resolved, please provide any new details that may have arisen after this build.

No, it's corrected, thanks !

Just wanted to say that a few weeks ago I couldn't play on cutting-edge because I was getting a lot of imput lag. I tried it again and it works fine now

From what I see, cutting edge has a fullscreen mode option but Alt+Enter do not function.

My resolution displayed seems to not be saving. I had it on 800 x 600 and then changed it to 1024 x 768 to test some behaviour. I go back to options and it is back to showing 800 x 600.

That must have gone under the radar to get so back without being addressed. I will probably look into the issue myself in a bit.

Correct me if I'm wrong (with more details about the issue,) but this isn't cutting-edge specific?
This usually happens if you have an inherited (green) timing point before an uninherited (red) one. So check for that?

If any of those error boxes trigger in ResolutionHelper the game will softlock. The game wont let you maximize the game until the resolution change is successful. But no values are changed so it will just fail all over again.

The resolution change fails if I try to change the resolution to a value in which the height is more than the width. The game let you have such a resolution for DirectX fullscreen. Although you could probably just fallback to some value.

I forgot to say that I tried making a new diff with no inherited timing points and it still happened until I closed the game (not just the editor but the game itself).

This is the original diff;





Edit: so I tried to do what you said and this is what happened (the first window says that there are no timing sections and the second one says osu! has stopped working)

VeilStar wrote: 4fbc

Issue 2:

• When in the cuttingedge build, if you select a different release stream and wait for it to finish ing the 'click to restart' button will appear. If you then go into the editor and back to the main menu, this button will be gone and osu! will re- the files again. This does not happen on the Stable build.

This doesn't actually have to be the editor. Leaving the main screen to anywhere else will have osu! 'forget' that the update was ed.

This apparently is cuttingedge-specific (the same message would show up when sent to a stable client)

When sending a message whose first non-space character is a forward slash (e.g. " /test", minus quotes - note the space before the slash), it will only show up on the client of the sender but not on the client of the recipient.

@edit
sending the message without the space obviously counts it as a command instead, so it doesn't show up in either client. Just figured I'd clear this up

Can't replicate slider issues here. What graphics hardware are you running on?

Sliders are working fine for me too

I'm got sharp slider bug here...


I'm using AMD Radeon HD 6750M running on Windows 8.1 Pro

Cursortrail behaviour is weird in cuttingedge.

When osu! wasn't in focus for a while and the regains focus the cursortrail is very thick for a few seconds.
It seems to spawn multiple instances every time only one instance is supposed to be spawned.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZOJQz8s8SA

I don't know if this is a thing when fullscreen is used, osu! is minimized, or minimized to the tray.
This was using borderless.

Same slider issues here with red points, version 20150512.2cuttingedge, in the editor and when playing.
Same result with the default skin.

AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series, res.1920x1080px, borderless osu! window. (Windows 7)

I'm not entirely sure what to call this, but I'm pretty sure I've noticed ever since the ce45 merge.

Basically, at the bottom right corner, if you have chat open, some odd 'glitching' happens for a single frame on the chat text.
I'm not entirely sure if this is correct, but it seems to only happen if the chat doesn't refresh often (because there are no new messages) and I've only ever noticed this in a PM to myself. (Which I do quite often for testing purposes.)





The video is zoomed in (750%) and slown down to 25% speed, but it's still a bit hard to catch.

I am actually using a different graphics card.

Since this update (20150513.1ce), I can't move the osu! window to another monitor anymore.

I was used to make it windowed (from borderless), then move the window to another monitor and remake it borderless, but it doesn't work anymore.

Can't change the resolution anymore when in full screen (I get an error that says it's not ed by my GC or screen), and it will stay on native.
Can't alt-tab as well, osu! will stay in front of everything (frozen) but not active (the thing I alt-tabbed to will be the active window, and when I click/type etc it will do that, osu! just stands in the way visually)

It's nothing huge but sometimes the name is disappearing, playing a song/going to main menu fixes it though.

Hello, we (well, tom) fixed the issues with full screen but there are some very small things left I noticed. Sometimes when I open a link in osu!, osu! will alt -tab in the osu! resolution to the desktop (or browser when it already loaded), then go back to osu and then it will alt-tab normally.
EDIT: sometimes it will stay alt-tabbed in the wrong reso

Also when I close an application (like browser) my resolution changes to the resolution of osu! for a sec, then going into osu! and then alt-tabbing back to the desktop with normal resolution. This things occur rarely
Except for that everything is working fine (and even better than before)

EDIT: also when opening an application sometimes it will randomly change the reso and then going back to the native one

osu! does not ignore sleep states. (Uncertain if this is fixable.)

Just did a quick Google search and it is indeed fixable, by using the WinAPI function SetThreadExecutionState (although this solution isn't cross-platform, sadly).

EDIT :

Okey, so I found something about the performance issue... It's actualy caused by a system file of windows 8 called dwm.exe which seem to be used by windows aero. Using some process manager, I suspended winlogon and killed dwm.exe. Windows was not realy happy about running in this state, however the cutting edge build had no input lag anymore and after a few lag spikes it ran at constant 300 fps like the normal build runs on fullscreen... To be sure it was not placebo effect, I unsuspended winlogon which instantly restarted dwm, and the input delay and micro lags were back...

Without disabling DWM.exe, that input lag is still here as of now, and if "true" fullscreen mode doesn't come back then it will be a very huge issue for windows 8 s... Not every one will have the knowlege to disable dwm and when dwm is disabled, windows is verry buggy... and I did read that open GL only on stable will be in ~ 2 weeks in another thread...

I got some huge performance issues too, including cursor lag.

But lets be honest: Do you really want to kill a application running from windows to get a game running smooth even if it shoudl without doing so? i dont think so

Uh... Before it changed nothing but now, fullscreen works with intergrated intel (And does not with nVidia card).
However it have a huge performance drawback versus directX builds. With the Stable build on directX it is almost always at around 270-300fps with intergrated intel card. Here it is far worse. On map selection screen it's 100-130ish, when playing it's arround 180ish... On breaks when there is nothing but the BG and score on the screen it dosn't even hit the 300's which is the limiter I did set.
And it's not the worse thing... If I try to record with OBS... My FPS drops to... 11-12FPS :<

Also I had a bug, I was in fullscreen and went back to borderless to see how it would react and this happened :

(Sliders had no track)

EDIT :
The OBS dropping FPS to 10-20 only seem to happen on native 1920*1080 resolution. Guess I'll have to play on lowered resolution.

We did many fixes within the last few days, so it's likely that previously when you tested a lot more was broken than it is now.

The issue is (to my knowledge) that it is impossible to get openGL exclusive fullscreen working when the desktop is rendered using a different graphics driver than the game. If there is a possibility to circumvent this I'd be more than happy to implement it. Even OpenGL-only games such as Quake 3 don't manage to go into exclusive fullscreen mode under those circumstances.

Which processor do you have? On my intel integrated device I get only ~10% lower FPS when using opengl over directx.

Regarding the sliders, we will look into it. Thanks for the report!

Just tried osu!cutting edge b20150516.
This makes streaming osu! pretty much impossible!
Even without game capture the game lags like crazy.

One thing i noticed is that osu! requires a lot more U power with the update.
(around +300% U usage)
It doesn't max out the U at all but it still drops to ~160fps without a limiter.

Another problem was tabbing back into the game:
The previous active window was still in front of the game while tabbed into osu!
Had to minimize that window to make it disappear ingame.

Running osu! in windowed mode.

osu!beta runs just fine, no Problems at all.

osu!beta runs the exact same new OpenGL implementation as osu!cuttingedge. Are you sure this is not something at your end? The performance should be absolutely identical.

Interesting... just wanted to confirm the issue and now cutting-edge runs as good as beta

cutting-edge didn't want to restart the client after the update, maybe that was the issue there.

osu! is overwriting any mouse constraints issued by any other programs. This makes it impossible to play any MOBA with osu! running in the background if you have multiple monitors. This is an issue because I like to use osu! as a music player.

Here is a poorly drawn diagram that I hope illustrates the situation:


If you still can't understand what I'm trying to say try and play a match of Heroes of The Storm with osu! running in a multi monitor configuration.

I have tested the confine mouse option, it does nothing for this issue.
I started a thread for this issue since it was beta and not cutting edge but it was suggested that I post here as well: t/329112
osu! version: 20150514.10beta

Turning off raw input should resolve that issue. Raw input forces this behaviour.

We did many fixes within the last few days, so it's likely that previously when you tested a lot more was broken than it is now.

The issue is (to my knowledge) that it is impossible to get openGL exclusive fullscreen working when the desktop is rendered using a different graphics driver than the game. If there is a possibility to circumvent this I'd be more than happy to implement it. Even OpenGL-only games such as Quake 3 don't manage to go into exclusive fullscreen mode under those circumstances.

Which processor do you have? On my intel integrated device I get only ~10% lower FPS when using opengl over directx.

Regarding the sliders, we will look into it. Thanks for the report!

I have an i7 4702MQ, the integrated intel it have is HD4600.
But the intel chipsets aren't realy ment to run games, even less at 1080p and 300 fps... I'll play at 720p fullscreen until you find a way to make exclusive fullscreen works using the nVidia card with optimus if it's possible :<

I don't know what the hell happened since the last time I checked, but the performance has absolutely tanked on Cutting Edge. I get a stable 30FPS on the main menu and 70FPS in song select or ingame (on a song with no storyboard or video). It used to be closer to 100 for the main menu, 120 for song select and ~180 ingame or something. That was a few days ago, on Cutting Edge (so also only OpenGL).

Running on a laptop on batteries by any chance? If yes, try plugging in.

Can you also please name your graphics hardware and check whether you have a file called "gl_info.txt" in your osu! directory? If yes, please paste its contents.

Running on a plugged in laptop, set to High Performance. Graphics hardware is Intel HD 3000, driver version 9.17.10.3347, and there are no log or txt files of any kind in the osu directory.
Edit: Guess I'll try if there's any driver updates, see if that does anything.
Edit2: As expected, it did nothing. 9.17.10.4101 now, which is the latest version as far as I can tell.

My cursor lag was casued by a problem on my end. Apparently I can't set a higher refresh rate than 60hz if windows is using my native resolution, no matter what resolution I had set on osu! (fullscreen of course). I changed my desktop's resolution and it works fine again. The more you know ^^

Actually if you absolutely want your desktop to run at a lower refresh rate you can go into osu!'s config and change "RefreshRate" to whatever refresh rate you desire and "OverrideRefreshRate" to 1. This will only apply to fullscreen.

If a resolution change to the overridden refresh rate fails, e.g. when your graphics card or screen don't it, osu! will automatically set "OverrideRefreshRate" back to 0.

Thanks, I don't really want my desktop to have a lower refresh rate but it's the best I can get without having to use a tiny resolution

Yep, mainly for this particular use case the config options exist in the first place. Should work with your setup.

I need help desperately. I am currently stuck in cutting-edge b20150513.5 and have been ever since updating to it.


Whenever i launch the game this shows up. Note: There is nothing wrong with my internet connection whatsoever.

The only way i can get past this screen and get into the game is by closing this window, which will abort the attempts to update . When i do get into the game and try to switch back to the stable build (or any build at all), it tells me i am unable to switch to another build as the update failed.



What i have already tried to do in order to fix this:

- Make exceptions for osu! and _osu! in my Windows Firewall
- Disable my Anti Virus completely
- Pressing the ''Run osu! Updater'' setting in-game (Only gave me the same screen as in the first image)

The only thing i can think of that would solve this is to do a fresh install of osu! but i reeeaaally don't feel like backing up all my songs and skins.

Is there any way to fix this? The cutting edge build is laggy for me and i really want to switch back to stable.

Have you tried holding Shift after the osu! updater closes so that the configuration window pops up and you click on Repair or change the release stream from there ?

Since the 27.04.2015 builds i experience many many microstutters, like one every few seconds. Didn't change anything in my setup.

EDIT: Didn't have any broken sliders since then though C:

Still experiencing this issue, and it seems _index hat it as well since the osu!beta update to OpenGL. He described it with "frameskipping, like 3 or 4 frames every few seconds" in the stream today.

(he uses a GTX970 as well, maybe there is some specific problem to that card? :C )

I didn't know this existed before, but i am sad to say even after clicking ''Repair Osu!'' on all the different release streams and graphics settings nothing changed, I am still getting the ''Check your internet connection'' message.

Im using a GTX 780TI and got the same issues.. Really annoying.

Can you try closing all background processes and see whether the issues persist? I also have a GTX 780Ti but experience none of your issues when closing other programs.

Two specific programs that come to my mind are f.lux causing stutters once every second and Teamspeak 3 effectively limiting osu! to 60 fps while it is not minimized (I run things on a 144hz screen).

I experience those stutters as well, but only for the first few minutes.

Otherwise, I can no longer seem to get a stable framerate when using limiters. I set a frame limiter to 1200 (on stable without it it goes up to 6000 fps and really weird things start to happen then) and it jitters between 1120 and 1250 all the time, and that causes some speedups/slowdowns of notes in taiko (almost like a stutter, but more smooth).

GTX970 with the latest drivers here.

edit:
It seems that after a while it no longer jitters that much, but after reaching 1200 limit it sorta drops back to 1130ish and climbs back up to 1200 and this repeats endlessly.

Here's an example: http://puu.sh/hR0HD/e2b42a4dd6.mp4
(first 3 seconds are because of the recording, the rest acts exactly the same like without recording)

Hit lighting effects and combo bursts will cause UI and graphics to become slightly more aliased for its duration

After changing my resolution to a wider one and changing it back to how it was before, that setting has magically stopped working :/ now it's always capped at 60hz



Edit: currently using beta tho, so it's not cutting-edge specific

Such small changes in fps should not be visible. Anything over your refresh rate should not be visible.

Refresh of this old benchmark:https://osu-ppy-sh.jeuxcrack.net/forum/p/3908475
This time the timeinterval of the statistics are almost perfectly equal and syncronized.
What I noticed new:
Fullscreen reduced the time/amount of slowest frames. 0.1% slowest frames average 3.78ms vs 4.66ms. BANZAI
Cutting edge is slowest than beta, couldn't think of any reason. 0.1% slowest frames average 4.19ms vs 3.85ms or avg 1.83ms vs 1.56ms. ???

DX performace is almost the same, that is dx vs opengl is now:
0.1% slowest frames average 3.24ms vs 3.85ms or avg 0.96ms vs 1.56ms
Ignoring the fullscreen improvement everything seems the same.

2015-02-23 open gl not full screen http://puu.sh/hRGc5/08781f3fd5.png

2015-05-18 DX not fullscreen http://puu.sh/hRGgp/7ae203cba4.png

I tested frame limiter now... For the porpuse of checking if the slowest 0.1% frames improved.
double screen refresh rate http://puu.sh/hRGj7/6977631ba6.png
I noticed the 1ms intervals... and reminded of windows timer . Checked it and it was at 1ms. After I forced to 0.5ms:
double screen refresh rate 2 http://puu.sh/hRGok/0900a72a3f.png
Not sure if exists a real difference or it is just mesurement issues.

Oced my u by 1.097 and got 1.100 more average frames lol 0.1 percentil only improved by 1.031 times.



Tested the new Vsync that now really vsyncs beyond 65hz~. It was A LOT laggier than just frame limiting to 144fps. Any possibility of a low latency V-sync?

I know, they are visible in other ways though. The effect of this is that a small stutter happens occasionally, like it's trying to skip some frames. For example, 60 and 120 fps look really terrible in taiko, despite being above the 60Hz required for an average screen (massive stutters).

Can you go into your config, change "FrameTimeDisplay" to 1 and record some taiko gameplay so that we can analyze further? Please also make sure the shown display looks the same when you're recording and when you are not.

I know closed all background applications (usually i am running League of Legends Client + Skype in the background) and still experience some stutter, micro lags and cursor lag.

Can you press Ctrl+F11 and record what you are seeing while it's stuttering? A screenshot would be fine.

When I hit the boss key, "Display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows 7(R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
When I try to load osu! from the taskbar, osu! stops responding.

I don't have that line in my .cfg. Should I add it?

Also, mind giving some advice on what recording method to use? Pretty much all recording applications which capture video that I used either don't capture 60 fps correctly or have A/V desync.
My phone has a shitty 30fps camera (I'll try using that for now, the stutters could be visible).

Also there is one more issue and that is that gameplay with vsync is MUCH more smooth than watching a replay under vsync (however this is also present in live). The replay is unwatchable due to insane stuttering, while gameplay is playable with occasional stutter and some input lag.
