Is there any other purpose of disabling aero besides eliminating lag (for users with low-end graphics cards, I'm guessing)? I've got it enabled because I like the appearance, but I don't really notice any lag in-game.GoldenWolf wrote:
Hey that's almost true, the guy played with aero on for ages while still performing better than pretty much anyone else at the time after all

Doesn't matter how strong you computer is, aero will cause some huge ass input lag (ok maybe not THAT big, but clearly a noticeable difference)
I can immediately tell the difference between aero on and off though

everyone who has used a mouse or tablet for more than 2 minutes can notice that

Is it really just "playing more"?
5k doesn't mean much if you don't include the timeframe ( ex : 5k plays in 2 months compared to 5k plays in a little over a week )SnowflakeStreet wrote:
I've been playing quite a bit and I feel like I haven't really improved at all since 5k plays ago
#2 Waifu speaks the truth. 2 weeks ago, I was training with 5.2-ish star AR 9 maps around 190-200 BPM, but now I'm training with anything over 6 Stars on AR 10 that exceeds 230 BPM (Do keep in mind that I can't clear 6+ star AR 9 maps, because my reading ability is probably my weakest trait).GoldenWolf wrote:

playing easy all day won't make you better at insanes yo
The results show too, this morning I was finally able to clear maps like Cheatreal, and I got to around 76% into Image Material before I died by a deathstream.
i still use aero.
which assumes i know what aero is, who knows maybe i'm an idiot

Basically, Aero == Transparent windows and stuff, etc, can be disabled by using Windows Basic themeswinber1 wrote:

On a separate note......the amount of times I'm playing right now is getting engraved on my wrist....

But the next school semester will start in August, so I might not be as active (I'll still try to squeeze in at least 2 hours of playing, but when school starts, 8 hours per day is no longer a possibility)
then august is when the road ends
I tested with an online reflex tester, and it did seem like disabling aero reduced my reaction times by ~10 ms. But apparently aero disables during fullscreen applications (and I play osu! fullscreen), so maybe that's why I didn't notice any problems. Then again, I used to play on an HDTV with ungodly input lag and "didn't notice" (until I switched to a 2 ms monitor and felt like the Flash) so maybe I'm just bad.GoldenWolf wrote:

Not really, it just means I have to make every play session count and not firetruck around. If it's farming pp, I'll warm up and cycle through the necessary maps with 3-4 retries each. If it's training, I'll again cycle through the necessary maps and ramp up the difficulty and BPM.Riince wrote:

Cursor tracking, that's the thing that takes the largest impact. It's REALLY noticeable on faster maps.XGeneral2000 wrote:

Aero would be 16ms of additive latency on a 60hz monitor, 8ms on a 120hz, and 7ms on a 144hz.
When viewing your screen at vsync it's always 1 frame behind. In example if you're playing on 60hz you're 16ms behind always (don't use the UO to compensate this).
So with aero enabled you're 2 frames behind, with a 60hz refresh rate this could be 32ms at minimum just from aero/graphics delay assuming your drivers are pushing single pre-rendered frames. Aero on a 144hz monitor would be about 15ms at minimum.
People obviously don't play with vsync so the numbers are more close to 4ms to 2ms frame latency, 60hz aero would have 18ms delay at minimum, and 144hz would have 9ms at minimum.
Windows handles audio buffers in 10ms intervals so in theory playing on a 144hz monitor with aero on wouldn't be detrimental to the gameplay as long as you're pushing 500fps to 1000fps (anything more than that is really a waste).
Fun bonus fact: Playing on a laptop screen even without aero on would be upwards of 25ms+ display latency so try to get a cheap monitor with a low response time to plug into.

Woobowiz, after reading this I decided to start playing osu! again 20 days ago. you have really inspired me to keep playing, thankyou for that. I think I am going to make my own type of diary-based thingy, so that I can track my progress too! I really love this blog-type progress...

So you can just leave aero on when you run stuff fullscreen?

11 hours later, and I finally hit 3400 pp
I feel like shit, my pen wrist is swollen, and my clicking hand feels like lactic acid did build up on the muscles.
Nothing really impressive in terms of top plays (the only video I wanted to share has a corrupted part, thanks twitch)
Gonna not play at all tomorrow and just watch anime so I can heal up.

Holy Christ, you're really freakin' dedicated. Good on ya, it's awesome reading this and seeing how far you've come.
I've been following you since you were rank 20k and well this is pretty incredible, how much time per day do you play? Don't you get bored?
Your progress in 5 months is impressive to say the least.
If you keep this up and don't lose motivation all of sudden, I would not be surprised to see you in the american top 50.

Not to ruin the fun and all that, but he's already starting to slow down. His play count decreased considerably since the start of July 14.
you're reading the playcount graph wrong, the month has just started, so obviously it's low for nowbuenaflor2 wrote:

I always found this change about the playcount's graph wrong too, I kinda miss the old one.
you should play no mod frequently instead of DT lol

Anyway, seeing this thread has made me realise I've been way too slack, from now I'm going to play as much as Woobowiz and try and make something of myself.
