What's new in Danser Enterprise Edition 1.1.0

Highlights

• Recording and screenshot output settings have been redesigned, with screenshot time validated against the selected map or replay
• Launcher and CLI startup no longer wait for update checks

Breaking Changes

• Hitsound stereo positioning now matches osu!lazer, including its 20% default separation, replacing Audio.HitsoundPositionMultiplier with Audio.HitsoundStereoSeparation

Added

  • Song-select star ratings will be recalculated for the July 2026 rework, while older SR/PP versions remain available for gameplay overlays and calculations
  • Old 260321 and 26xxxx development selections migrate to 260706
• Introduced a new popup dialog design for the launcher, starting with About and output configuration
• Added osu!lazer's Only fade approach circles customization for the Hidden mod
• Added Include pre-release updates to Launcher settings and -include-prerelease-updates to CLI update checks

Fixed

• Object stacking now follows osu!lazer's behavior

  • At OD5, this means +/-49.5 ms, +/-99.5 ms, and +/-149.5 ms boundaries instead of osu!stable's +/-50 ms, +/-100 ms, and +/-150 ms
• Unstable Rate now normalizes each timing hit by its gameplay rate before calculation
• The results screen shows Unstable Rate as N/A when no timed hits contribute
• Slider heads, ticks, repeats, loops, and tails now resolve and play hitsounds using osu!lazer's sample rules
  • Slider ticks and loops keep the slider's start-resolved sample bank, index, and volume instead of changing at later timing points
  • Slider heads, repeats, and tails use their own node sample settings
• Circles, spinners, and slider nodes now resolve hitsound control points with osu!lazer's 5 ms legacy leniency
• Hitsound layers now keep their authored volume and use osu!lazer's 5% minimum volume
• Legacy sample set 0 now falls back to the Normal bank instead of Soft

What's new in Danser Enterprise Edition 1.1.0 Alpha 2

Added

Changed

• Redesigned About
• Update checks no longer interrupt or delay startup
• Retired Audio.HitsoundPositionMultiplier in favor of Audio.HitsoundStereoSeparation, which now defaults to osu!lazer's 20% and pans hitsounds left and right the same way osu!lazer does

Fixed

• Unstable Rate now normalizes each timing hit by its gameplay rate before calculation
• Results now show N/A when no timed hits contribute to UR

  • Song-select catalog stars always use the current released model, while the gameplay SR/PP selector can still use supported historical models
  • Old 260321 and 26xxxx development selections migrate to 260706
• Stable and Lazer gameplay now use their respective object-stacking behavior

Full Changelog: 1.0.1...1.1.0-alpha.1

1.0.1

What's new in Danser Enterprise Edition 1.0.1

• Gameplay now follows osu!lazer's model

• Song catalog updates no longer hold up launcher startup
• High-refresh gameplay is smoother, especially with custom FPS caps on Windows
• Solo knockout can now run with generated participants instead of replay files
• Lazer-compatible sliders now judge heads, ticks, repeats, and tails separately and can show skin-aware markers for supported misses

Breaking Changes

Added

• Added replay-free solo knockout with fully scored participants
  • New -solo-knockout flag to enable it, with -tag setting the participant count and -cursors the mirrored cursor views
• Added Lazer-compatible osu!standard judgments for slider parts
  • New Objects.Sliders.ShowSliderJudgmentMarkers displays supported misses with the slidertickmiss and sliderendmiss skin components
• Added more hit error bar customization and brought its behavior closer to osu!lazer
  • New Gameplay.HitErrorMeter.ShowColorBar (on by default), ShowMovingAverage (on by default), and JudgmentLineThickness (3 o!px by default) controls. PointFadeOutTime is now shown as "Timing-line fade-out time" and still defaults to 10 seconds
• Added separate hit-animation controls for objects and sliders
  • New Objects.HitAnimations and Objects.Sliders.HitAnimations settings, both enabled by default
  • Disabling object hit animations makes successful hit circles disappear almost immediately
• Added osu!lazer-compatible spinner movement for cursor dance
  • Generated Lazer-compatible participants use the OD 11 spinner-completion rate by default
  • New CursorDance.SpinnerBehavior.SpinAtLowestRPM instead uses the completion rate for the map's OD, and is disabled by default
  • osu!stable replays retain their historical spinner rate
  • Spinner targets scale with the map and movement accounts for spinner duration
• Added combo color normalization ported from osu!lazer (Objects.Colors.ComboColorNormalization)
• Added F grades for failed plays
  • The grade is drawn as text when a skin has no F texture

Changed

  • Classic changes supported compatibility behavior without changing whether playback is Stable- or Lazer-compatible
  • Fade hit circles earlier is now available with the other Classic settings
• Slider presentation and cursor dance now follow the selected gameplay implementation more closely
  • Lazer-compatible sliders use fractional end times and frame-computed, seek-safe snaking
  • Slider endpoints and hit animations follow the active skin
  • Slider bodies use the active slider timing for their fade
  • Cursor dance uses participant-specific slider paths, timing, endpoints, and score points
• Recording validates its complete output setup before allocating persistent resources
  • Preflight checks the selected encoder configuration, GPU limits, projected memory use, color contract, and timeline
  • Each recording uses an isolated session directory
• Recording color and motion blur now follow the encoded frame timeline
  • Color conversion and encoded metadata use BT.709 limited range
  • Motion-blur samples stay centered on rendered frames
• Discord Rich Presence is disabled by default
• New gameplay profiles use 4x MSAA by default, and the launcher visualizer also uses 4x MSAA
  • Change Graphics.MSAA to use a different gameplay sample count; changes take effect after restarting danser

  • While skipping, star ratings are left untouched and new maps stay unrated until a full check runs
  • Selecting a deleted map removes it from song select without a full refresh

Performance

• Reduced gameplay stutter at high refresh rates
  • Frame pacing follows deadlines instead of repeated polling
  • High-refresh and high-FPS Windows playback uses dedicated render pacing
  • Set DANSER_FRAME_PROBE=1 to capture slow frame samples for diagnosis
• Reduced gameplay stutter during object-dense sections, which was caused by audio state and rate changes crossing to the audio thread once per call instead of once per update
• The launcher now populates and maintains your library in the background instead of on a blocking screen
• Song select search and scrolling no longer stutter on large libraries
• New -beatmap-path flag starts the selected map directly for a faster start

Fixed

• Fixed hitsound and storyboard-audio timing during late gameplay frames
  • Sounds use their intended event times instead of the frame that processes them
  • Offline renders follow the audio delivered to the encoder instead of using the upstream fixed 50 ms offset
  • Video remains synchronized through speed changes and audio stalls
• Starting playback partway through a map or seeking no longer displays skipped judgments as new hits or misses
  • Skipped objects still affect score, accuracy, health, and statistics without causing knockout eliminations
• Loud stacked hitsounds have more headroom before clipping
  • Realtime audio now uses floating-point mixing
• Cursor dance no longer freezes or crashes on singular, extreme, or otherwise unusually expensive slider geometry
  • Bounded fallbacks do not shorten authored slider timing
• Spinner RPM feedback now responds over osu!lazer's trailing measurement window and stays correctly positioned across resolutions and custom skins
  • Seeking resets its measurement history
• Spinner judgment now follows osu!lazer's end-exclusive timing by default, avoiding an extra rotation at the exact end
• Spinner audio no longer repeatedly pauses and resumes while its spin state is unchanged
• Unsupported MSAA, framebuffer, and GPU configurations now fail with an actionable error instead of hanging during gameplay startup
• Recording refuses to replace an existing final output
  • Final output is published only after both encoders finish and muxing succeeds
  • Successful publication removes the isolated recording session
• Failed recordings retain their session directory and any produced audio or video intermediates
  • The reported error includes an FFmpeg command for recovering completed streams manually
• Startup and window-creation failures now produce visible errors
  • Gameplay startup failures use platform-integrated dialogs where available
  • CLI failures remain visible in command-line output
