Editor

Fix gameplay playfield border being affected by beatmap track time (#23767 by @peppy)

Add beat snap grid for osu!catch editor (#23770 by @peppy)

Add ability to cycle beat snap divisor using hotkeys (#23799 by @peppy)

Defaults to Ctrl+Shift+Wheel (as per stable).

Reduce the radius of note-to-note snapping in osu! editor (#23812 by @peppy)

Ball-parked to match stable as close as possible. Allows for more precise positioning.

Improve usability of beat divisor control (#23722 by @peppy)

A few changes of interest here:

• Remember the last used custom divisor when cycling divisor types
• Adds support for cycling back to the last custom divisor used. Previously it would be lost after switching back
  to common or triplets.
• Use better defaults of 1/4 and 1/6 when cycling types

Add setting to limit distance snapping to current time (#23837 by @peppy)

You can now choose whether the distance snapping grid allows placing objects in the past/future, or behaves like
stable (only allowing placement at the current point in time).

Fix performance degradation at timing screen when seeking far into track (ppy/osu-framework#5843 by @peppy)

Fix distance snap grid circles not correctly being centred on snap point (#23938 by @peppy)

before	after

(red lines are added in post to show the centre point)

Smaller changes

• Fix weird right-toolbox distance snapping display in osu!catch editor (#23832 by @peppy)

Gameplay

Add animations to the argon key counter (#23751 by @ItsShamed)

ryou.mp4

Still coming soon (tm) to gameplay pending actual skinnable component implementation..

Fix audio adjustment settings not displaying while watching a replay (#23841 by @peppy)

Adjust argon progress display to work well on bright backgrounds (#23884 by @peppy)

before	after

Note that these screenshots are worst-case scenarios. Generally beatmap backgrounds are not pure white (and users have
some degree of background dim).

Smaller changes

• Don't show offset calibration controls when "relax" mod is active (#22934 by @peppy)

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix black jaggies around argon hitcircles (#23853 by @smoogipoo)

before	after

Fix not being able to receive full score for extremely short sliders with repeats (#23866 by @bdach)

This case seems relatively rare, so it's probably not worth a special hotfix. This is also why I'm not bumping the score
version in the legacy score encoder again.

Add "Synesthesia" mod for osu! ruleset (#23520 by @jtbiddle)

This is a mod for osu!standard that colors hit circles and sliders based on their beat division in the song. For
example, objects that are on full notes are white, half notes are red, and quarter notes are blue. This is a simple
implementation using the function for the snap coloring preference in osu!mania, and shares the same colors. I
implemented this in an attempt to make reading complicated rhythms easier, especially for low AR or hidden.

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Update argon osu!mania column colours in line with latest proposal (#23769 by @peppy)

Fix osu!mania bar lines showing in front of notes (#23795 by @peppy)

Fix osu!mania hold notes sometimes looking incorrect...

2023.617.0

Hotfix release number 3! More fixes for score migration and import. Who would've guessed?!

Scoring

Fix reimporting old lazer scores undoing standardised score recalculation (#23930 by @bdach)

Fix score migration not migrating all scores properly (#23934 by @peppy)

We were missing a rounding consideration which means that.. probably half of the scores which should have been converted were not being. Luckily this is easy to resolve and can be simply re-run on top of an existing database with no further considerations.

Full Changelog: 2023.614.1...2023.617.0

2023.614.1

Hotfix release number 2 ahoy! Local score fixes!

What's changed

Gameplay

Fix flashlight mods not working on Metal (ppy/osu-resources#262 by @frenzibyte)

Has been broken for a couple of releases. Finally fixed!

Scoring

Migrate old standardised scores to new algorithm (#23892 by @peppy)

We originally weren't considering fixing old scores set by users in their local client, but due to a sizable number of requests we've added a migration for these.

After you run this release, all your local score will be converted to the new standardised scoring system.

Note that this is a best-effort implementation. It inserts misses in a way that gives the user the best possible combo streaks considering the only information we know (MaxCombo). So if anything, you'll have to try a tiny bit harder to beat your old scores.

But at least you CAN actually beat them now, right? :)

2023.610.0

Hotfix release ahoy!

Editor

Store timestamp of beatmap's last edit time in local database (#23711 by @timiimit)

Now when you open the editor it will load right back to where you were last time you opened each individual beatmap.

Fix ticks being created after the end of drum rolls in osu!taiko editor (#23768 by @peppy)

Gameplay

Fix flashlight mods not working on Metal (ppy/osu-resources#262 by @frenzibyte)

Has been broken for a couple of releases. Finally fixed!

Fix triangles song progress bar blinking during gameplay (#23781 by @bdach)

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Change osu!mania scoring ratio to 99% acc (to match previous lazer scoring) (#23816 by @peppy)

We've had a lot of negative feedback from users after switching to the new score v2 based scoring. While there's still plenty of time to balance things, this change reverts the combo/acc ratio to what we had, and what users were used to.

Of note, other rulesets didn't change in a similar way so match (roughly) correct.

Settings

Fix osu!mania scroll speed milliseconds having too much precision in some locales (#23776 by @peppy)

What's Changed

Code Quality

• Add abbreviations found in framework functions (#23558 by @peppy)
• Change method group inspection to warning to match osu! (ppy/osu-framework#5793 by @peppy)
• Remove OsuScreen.ApplyLogoArrivingDefaults() (#23642 by @Joehuu)
• Simplify UBO uploads (ppy/osu-framework#5778 by @smoogipoo)
• Simplify GL renderer uniform buffer binding (ppy/osu-framework#5758 by @smoogipoo)
• Add common OnlinePlayPill for all online room pills (#23563 by @timiimit)
• Centralise beatmap playable duration and bounds lookups (#23659 by @peppy)
• Combine source-gen and reflection BDL pathways (ppy/osu-framework#5812 by @smoogipoo)

Database

Improve startup database reliability (#23695 by @peppy)

A couple of fixes here:

• Previously, if the backup procedure failed, startup would continue and the user's realm database may be deleted. I think in such a fail case I'd rather the game didn't startup so the user gets in touch (or reads the log files themselves) rather than potentially losing data.
• Reduced the number of cases a database would be marked as "corrupt". We've seen a couple of reports where a user has provided a "corrupt" database that has worked just fine, so hopefully this change will stop that happening.

Editor

Update metronome samples (ppy/osu-resources#257 by @nekodex)

Did a pass on the metronome samples, mainly to remove the pre-delay before the main transient, but also to make it 'snappier' overall. This should make it easier to hear over music and judge timing more accurately.

I originally had the pre-delay there to help soften the attack of the metronome (so it would sound more organic and less ear-piercing) under the assumption that people would be using it in conjunction with the visual waveform in the editor to dial in the timing/offset. However, it seems some people prefer to use their ears when timing and a pre-delay/offset messes with their ability to do that. Hopefully these new samples will resolve that.

Allow commiting / undoing placement of blueprints using back / select bindings (#23508 by @peppy)

With default bindings, this restored hitting "Escape" to exit placement mode.

Force placement of in-progress object when changing tools in the editor (#23509 by @peppy)

Just like in the osu! stable editor, you can now switch from slider to select or hitcircle placement and it will place an in-progress slider rather than throwing it away.

Fix sample banks not saving correctly when adjusting via editor (#23564 by @peppy)

Broke at some point recently.

Fix timeline blueprint display not showing correct combo number / colour during placement (#23582 by @peppy)

osu.Game.Tests.2023-05-17.at.08.55.03.mp4

Of note, in stable the way the editor behaves is slightly differently. The placement object is inserted into the beatmap before being placed, causing future objects to update their combo index, colour, etc.

I'm not ready to commit to that same behaviour (it will be more complicated to manage), but will deal with feedback on this in the future.

Fix undo/redo not working for slider velocity and sample changes (#23631 by @bdach)

Allow deselecting any selection in the editor using the Back binding (escape key) (#23651 by @peppy)

Matching much-loved stable behaviour.

Update beat divisor control to show ticks in more visually correct locations (#23581 by @peppy)

Add sample bank selection controls (and hotkeys) to editor (#20829 by @peppy)

Mostly for the hotkeys, since they've come up multiple times.

osu.Game.Tests.2022-10-19.at.12.47.23.mp4

Ensure editor selection buttons remain on screen when selection is near edge (#23649 by @peppy)

Purely visual and if it regresses in the future, it's going to be in a completely unpredictable way, so opting to not add tests.

2023-05-24.22-05-34.mp4

Smaller changes

• Move blueprint validity conditions to allow more correct external usage of EndPlacement (#23507 by @peppy)

Framework

Show more information in frame statistic display (ppy/osu-framework#5801 by @peppy)

A result of smoogi not being able to tell which frame limiter is applied on high refresh monitors (where they all become 1000 Hz). Obviously this is a fault of the frame limiters, but fixing that is for another day.

|

Fix input thread reporting too much elapsed time in single thread mode (ppy/osu-framework#5819 by @peppy)

Well, no, potentially not just WndProc but other counters too. Basically if BeginCollecting is called with no items in the stack, it will not consume the stopwatch time, meaning the next EndCollecting call will also include all time passed since the previous EndCollecting call.

Ouch.

Gameplay

Remove flavour text from the pause / fail screens (#23646 by @peppy)

Didn't read too well, can't think of anything better so let's chop it.

Before:

After:

Show current progress on pause screen (#23647 by @peppy)

Just because I could. I was also experimenting with adding more features to this screen, but feel that anything beyond this simple addition should be done by implementing skinning of the screen (quite low effort).

Replace lazer scoring with "ScoreV2" (#23638 by @smoogipoo)

One of the issues with scoring that's being consistently brought up is its linear combo scaling nature. This has triggered discussions like this, which has led to an alternative scoring implementation here.

The problem with this implementation is that it adds a lot of complexity in an effort to make score re-calculable, but it relies on all judgements or some metadata being stored server-side (which we are not confident on moving forward with). On top of that, it changes scoring completely unlike anything we've seen thus far, which is neither a bad thing nor a good thing.

After internal discussion, we believe the best path forward is to return to something that everyone's familiar with that has been tried and tested. ScoreV2 seems appropriate.

For the most part, this is a 1:1 implementation of osu!stable's ScoreV2. osu!catch has not been exactly implemented, since its implementation drastically increases complexity and I've been told the simple combo/accuracy portions are fine (by people that have attempted to improve on the osu!stable algorithm for tournament purposes).

A few pointers regarding this change:

• Going forward we won't be calling this ScoreV2 – it will still be referred to as lazer scoring for the time b...

Disable relative-mode mouse by default on Linux (ppy/osu-framework#5776 by @smoogipoo)

There are still edge cases on Linux where relative-mode isn't working correctly, so let's disable by default.

A bit of a hotfix for now until we figure a more permanent solution for this.

Performance

Reduce overhead induced by checking Bass CPU usage (ppy/osu-framework#5784 by @peppy)

Cache value of VerticalSync to avoid overhead retrieving from SDL2 each time (ppy/osu-framework#5783 by @peppy)

Fix D3D11 losing performance by constantly mapping/unmapping buffers (ppy/osu-framework#5785 by @smoogipoo)

Fix various graphical and performance regressions in last release (ppy/osu-framework#5787 by @bdach)

There's not going to be much of an explanation in this one. The goal is to revert to a known-working state. I don't know why the old code would fail in the ways it did.

• Remove usages of [ExcludeFromDynamicCompile] (#23438 by @smoogipoo)

Editor

Change default beat divisor to 1/4 snap (#23248 by @peppy)

This matches stable, and is a much saner default value. Will apply to new beatmaps and also beatmaps which don't specify a snap value in the .osu file.

Always round editor rotation to integer values (#23247 by @peppy)

As mentioned in youtube comments, there are next to no use cases for having floating-point rotation in the editor, so let's round it for now.

Fix editor potentially leaving a dangling beatmap if exiting during load too fast (#23333 by @Cootz)

Allow using the 'Use current' distance snap button when exactly on a hit object (#23361 by @OliBomby)

When exactly on the start time of a hit object, the 'Use current' option becomes unavailable because the first object before and after the current time is the same object. I changed this so it would get the previous hit object and the current hit object in this situation. That way you can easily get the distance snap to copy the same distance as used before.

Add more padding around playfield in editor to avoid overlap with tool areas (#23370 by @peppy)

Remove control point data storage from hit object (#23308 by @OliBomby)

Fixes various import / export issues, most notably when exporting a beatmap from the lazer editor causing many control points to be created that shouldn't have been there.

Show slider velocity in hit object inspector (#23404 by @peppy)

Show beatmap slider velocity statistics when adjusting velocity (#23405 by @peppy)

Gives a mapper / reviewer a better sense of the larger picture of the beatmap when viewing slider velocity.

Framework

Fix touch feedback breaking Direct3D 11 exclusive/optimised fullscreen (ppy/osu-framework#5753 by @Susko3)

Disable new mipmap generation (ppy/osu-framework#5765 by @bdach)

This was intended to improve performance, but ended up causing many issues across multiple platforms. We'll loop back with this change again in the future.

Add long tap to right click support (ppy/osu-framework#5255 by @frenzibyte)

Finally you can access right-click menus (and finish slider placement) on mobile devices! We'll continue to improve the mobile experience but this is a solid place to start.

Add cursor ripples (#23342 by @peppy)

As with stable, this is disabled by default. Turn on in settings.

Add "bubble" mod to osu! ruleset (#21789 by @mk56-spn)

This mod is a mix of reading and memory, with the difficulty it adds to those two skillsets being highly dependant on the map in question, ( for example, it adds considerably more difficulty from my experience on stream maps, grid maps, or really any map that often has circles coming back to the same place).

Input

• Disable relative-mode mouse by default on Linux (ppy/osu-framework#5776 by @smoogipoo)
  • There are still edge cases on Linux where relative-mode isn't working correctly. One example is my NoMachine setup, which grabs the cursor but pins it to (windowWidth, windowHeight).

The change to Default is intentional (for macOS also), otherwise the in-game options will show a non-default setting for the default value on these platforms.

What's Changed

Editor

Remove left/right click based placement in taiko editor and respect sample selection (#23112 by @peppy)

Previously, right click would place a "kat". But users are used to instead using hit sample hotkeys to choose which type of object is placed, so we've reverted back to that method (and made right-click do nothing special for now).

Add hit object inspector to editor (#23133 by @peppy)

I did this initially to debug an issue, but it's something that will probably be useful to mappers as well so polished it a bit for permanent inclusion.

osu.Game.Tests.2023-04-05.at.04.46.08.mp4

Add rotation snapping to editor selection (#23156 by @Micha-ohne-el)

Gameplay

Fix crash on attempting to load some old beatmaps which specify background images incorrectly (#22858 by @peppy)

Don't show epilepsy warning when storyboards are disabled (#22868 by @peppy)

Add progressive DT/HT mod multipliers (#23177 by @smoogipoo)

For DT, the multiplier is in the range [1.0, 1.2].
For HT, the multiplier is in the range [0.5, 0.9].

• For DT, I intended to make the multiplier for 1.5x speed as close to 1.12 as possible, and it now sits at 1.1x.
• For HT, I took a bit of a liberty since the original 0.3 multiplier doesn't really correspond to anything. In this case, I made it scale in increments of 0.1, which is still harsher than DT's scaling but not as harsh as the original multiplier. Something similar to the original multiplier can be achieved with 2x scaling, however it would result in 0.5x having a multiplier of 0 which doesn't feel right.
