That one friend aka me has now access to osu!direct as well as the website, but what really ticks me off is the fact that no matter which song I play, it lags like no tomorrow, freezing the picture and sound every two-three seconds, and the more there are sliders, the worse is the lag. I have had slight lagging before, that's for sure, but after this... fiasco all the game does is lag, lag, lag. No way I can play like this, my combo breaking after 10 hits. I re-installed osu, I even killed my 17k+ beatmaps, my firewall has been up since forever and so far it hasn't caused me any trouble, also there are only a few programs running on the background, less than usual, so it can't be the reason of the lag.
Also, at times osu!direct fails to connect and when switching game modes, the game doesn't change my rank and accuracy slot.
