Great, I'll switch to the test build for sure!

Edit: I find the little strip in the bottom (that one yellow and black that indicates it's the test build) a bit disturbing during gameplay :(. Can't it be disabled while playing? It also overlaps with the fps counter and the new accuracy meter.

Excellent. The absence of Bancho integration in the test build was pretty much the only thing that was preventing me from using the test build by default. Looking forward to helping with this :p

Still not really usable for me, the chat and online users are still testbuild-only D:
Fixed now, yay :3

What exactly does the new test build change? I can't find any differences so far besides the "b20130807.5test" on the bottom and that the osu! window frame doesn't fit the color of my usual window color. =P

The test build is always up-to-date with the changelog. There are also some half-baked features in there (replay seeking, emoji) which aren't ready for public yet.

At the moment the test build is 99% in sync with public, but this isn't the case when there hasn't been a public release for 1 week or more. You will be able to view and play with new features as they are added, and watch the game develop on a daily basis.

There are usually 0~5 test build patches a day, for reference.

You should definitely make something either in the client or on the site that's like a report form, so people don't have to create a thread on a public forum for everyone to see. Since, you know, it doesn't necessarily encourage people to report bugs if they have to fill out an entire forum thread if you ask me. At least that's what it's like to me.

Sweet! I'll be using the test build more often then :)
Although I wish there was an option to unify the public build's collections with the test build's collections, but seeing as they're just .db files it shouldn't be difficult to move them back and forth manually :P

EDIT: Also, the watermark seems to be in the way of the hit error meter. Not really that big of a deal though.

I second this, osu! Test build should have a extra option so u can report right from inside the client or maybe a special channel were all people do is post things they found maybe?

And how do you then keep track of them, by searching through logs?.. seriously D:?

Make a simple web form that mails the reports to the technical support team or something like that

Edit: Maybe a mail account for like osureports@ppy.sh and give the osu! team access to it and delete the reports you've looked into?

Possibly that there is a hidden subforum for reports that peppy and the others can view and moderate it.

There's nothing wrong with having to make a forum thread, it doesn't even have to be very lengthy. The only thing you need to put in your post really is how to reproduce the bug (and screenshots, but those aren't entirely necessary if your repro steps are easy to follow).
And the main reason for the bugs/tech support forum being public is so others can test and confirm that it's a bug.

I'm curious whether I can safely map in the test build. I know that before, the test build would create test build only files. What will happen if I make changes to a beatmap and submit them from the test build?

If there are changes made which would break maps, BSS will be disabled in the test build. As long as you can submit, it should be fine to do so.

Having a forum to share might work, but I think a more immediate means of communication would give better results.
Something like a #testbuild channel on irc, only for testers.

(Unfortunately I am not support, so I can not test ;_; )

I'd like the option to remove the text overlay denoting if a user is using the test build. It does not work well with the score meter:


We currently have 4 locations which show we are using osu!test - the text overlay, the image overlay, the text bar on top of the osu! circle (http://u.nyaa.asia/agy.png) and text in top right of options.

Apart from this, I'm up for using osu!test.

Edit: Fixed as soon as I posted it :3

Somehow, I can't download the test build, even though I've never downloaded it before. osu!test.exe doesn't show up in my folder...

My updater looks like this

I remember there was something in the technical support forums about this problem, but I can't find it anymore :(

oh ok, but I got this file instead:



and I'm unable to extract it. Web help for file extensions doesn't give me anything either, as I figured.

Late to post, but good to see it's been working the way it has since implementation. Minimal issues so far.

Hmm, I like the update, but don't really feel too great about it being supporter-only...

I like testing pre-release programs and games and giving feedback, but why should I have to essentially pay to do this (I know it's technically "donating", but if my only intent is to test new features and give feedback...)? I like donating to projects that I find are pretty awesome; osu! was actually the first game I donated to without caring about any of the supporter features. Just hate feeling like I "have" to donate (or essentially pay is the way I look at it) to do something, especially something like testing pre-release software.

Just the way I feel about donations I guess. Can't non-supports just be able to use the test client, but not have score updating? Or maybe use the system that existed before where you could make a 3-hour (or so) temporary account for the test client?

you don't need to use osu! updater to download osu!test, all i just did to use osu!test was copy osu!.exe on the same folder and rename the copy to osu!test.exe, then run and do the update ^^
