Problem Details:
Only while playing a song does my osu lag. Listening to it in the menu never lags. It happens at random times and on random songs. It also happens online or offline. The lag is short but just long enough to screw up notes. The lag happens on almost every song and it seems to also happen in Auto mode. I also notice that when it lags my FPS drops dramatically for the duration. Having the FPS cap set to 120, 240 or unlimited doesn't seem to help and switching between OpenGL and DirectX doesn't either. I've been playing for around 2 years and this problem only started happening a few months ago. Also i tried loading osu with only a few beatmaps but nothing changed. Also with a little testing it seems to happen more on songs with videos.
