Ok, ok, i was just talking xD i know what you think about it.

great solution ppy:3 thank you.
my only question how about custom skins mappers put in their maps.. can i still delete those?
(mayB a dumb question but what the hell

(mayB a dumb question but what the hell
/)This is simply amazing. Excellent idea, perfect solution, really.
Just one thing: there are some storyboards that are meant never to be deleted (Don't Stop Me Now, I Can Be Your Friend or in another registry Disturbia). Is there a way to mark these storyboards "non-deletable" ?
Well anyway, full support. I'm looking forward to seeing this implemented.

?While the skin my sometimes be a bit awkward or difficult to play with, I honestly doubt it would be something that's more distracting than a really intense storyboard. And it certainly doesn't lag as much. People have requested to be able to disable skins in the past already, but I doubt peppy will include this feature.eddieee wrote:

[/offtopic]
I really like this idea of disabling storyboards after a first run, since a lot of hard work is put into those storyboards (including my own), and they're pretty interesting to watch. Actually, I'm convinced that this is probably the only possible solution without adding the option to disable all storyboards in general. So although we won't be able to disable them in multi (on the first try anyways), I think this would make osz2 more appreciable when time comes.
i don't remember asking a question to you, i want to know if can still delete skins... since i am a competitive player, skin is for me just as important as SB/BGmovie so plz give me a answer... and not this story

If there is a storyboard toggle, there will also be a skin toggle. It will work in a similar way. Kiai is completely out of the question.
Just add a mod named "No Sh!t Sherlock" which disables every custom thing in the map (leaving only the map itself, a black background and kiai stuff). It sounds like I'm making a joke but no, I'm sure almost everyone deletes everything in a map folder except for the MP3 and the map itselfs when playing serious stuff, which means using your own skin + black background (sometime grey or other color because of dark colored hits). Don't think wrong of me, I almost always play with SBs and such since I, for some reason, find the map more enjoyable, but when trying to do hard stuff it is just a problem (yeah, when I play just for enjoyment I love having a nice SB, but when playing in a competitive manner I just feel like deleting every image file in osu's songs folder).
I don't mean to be rude or sound imperative, sorry if it looks like it.

Awesome, especially cause i usually (try to) play map few times with sb/skin before delete it. Just a question: This first play will count for the whole mapset or it'll be per diff?
When you reach some high level playing this you'll notice deleting the background when playing with AR 10 or doing high BPM DTs is really a big help. With serious stuff I mean that, not trying to do some insane map with an A/S. Feel free to ask most top players if they actually play very hard maps with all the stuff a mappers adds to it (uncomfortable skins, flashy SBs/BGs, etc).adam2046 wrote:

PD: Didn't see last peppy's post, so w/e.
Yeah, finally a good compromise.
And i totally agree with the toggle to be disabled on a "per-play" basic.
And now i want osz2 even more.

Here's how it works: Storyboards are always played the first time you play a map. This cannot be bypassed. They will always play once. After you pass the map once on any difficulty, a new toggle option will appear, allowing storyboards to be disabled on a per-play basis.
Sounds great. It's fair and it's a huge step up from the flat out "No" we've been receiving for god knows how long.
So just do DT + AutoPlay and wait for the map to end to play it... is there any real need to waste time doing that? I mean seriously, if a player wants to see the SB, he will, but some mappers love doing storyboards so much that they forget the map is meant to be played and not to be watched. Having to "play" it or "watch" it to be able to disable it is, in my opinion, a waste of time.peppy wrote:

Autoplay doesn't count as passing it since Autoplay is a 'replay'.peppy wrote:

1- In order to keep it in terms I can agree with, I will probably add the following restrictions, but these may change:
* Autoplay will tentatively be accepted.
2- If my PC is bad enough for me not to be able to play it with it's SB because my FPS count goes to 20, then what?
3- No Fail + DT + Spun Out + Clicking some of the last circles to clear it. Still wasting time.

Storyboard, storyboard...but it'd be great if it worked with skin too. Hmmm
osu! already detects lag and disables score submitting, would it not help to give the player an option to disable the SB if they are detected to be severely lagging?
I'm really glad that there is going to be a skin toggle (if i've understood your post correctly). I can usually not play a beatmap if it has a different skin than the one i'm using or standard, no matter how little difference it has.peppy wrote:

Even tho i'm a SB & Skins lover i must say this is a nice solution.
As for people who usually say skins ruins gameplay, i think that's an issue with the modding team... It's kinda dumb that if a skin is so bad to play that no one point's that out :3

This is very true. Usually bad skins are the skins which have fake edges where the hit circle isn't really there, so you end up clicking on the end of the skin, thinking you're hitting the circle but you're not. Then they have stupid spinners where you can't see the point in the middle and an intrusive background where you can't see the notes that follow up a spinner. This isn't in the least bit fun it's ANNOYING.Dragvon wrote:

I think the BATS need to be a lot more strict when ranking maps with skins. The same could be said for Storyboards too.
I hate:
maps which force the "default" skin or use an absolutely horrid skin.
maps which have hit300 etc skinned with big pop ups.
maps with low quality videos.
maps with bad color/BG/SB combination.
These are the only changes I ever make to a map. (sometimes I change the AR, but that obviously doesn't make it ranked anymore)
Storyboards are part of the map, however to force a user to play it once is somewhat ridiculous. Most people enjoy storyboards when playing for fun, but when trying to concentrate/SS the map, many delete everything.
I think a "no storyboard" and "no skin" and perhaps a "no background" toggle are in order, much like the "no video" toggle. Even people who hate storyboards will play it once or twice with the storyboard on. I don't particularly mind backgrounds, so I wouldn't want "no skin" to omit the background too.
As far as modding is concerned: this doesn't solve already ranked maps with terrible skins, and a large majority of people who play osu don't mod maps. I'm not certain, but I don't see a lot of people when modding complain about bad skins, which leads me to believe most of the modders don't care about it, and we'll get more bad skins ranked.
You could say that a bad skin/sb/background is part of the map, but they ruin the map for me, making it a pain to play. Obviously I downvote those maps, even if the beatmap and song are great.
The only annoying part about kiai (to me) is the star2.png, which can be skinned away.

I am also strongly against adding a background toggle. If you want to play a game where you are hitting single-coloured circles on a black background, go make your own ouendan clone
. Another way of expressing this would be that you have to draw the line between competition and fun somewhere. I don't know any arcade rhythm game that let's you turn off all the flashes, background and video (this is sometimes a toggle).

Ranked a few days ago, a lot of players have to delete the SB to properly play it without lag.
And some HR or DT are impossible with the BG on..
It sounds like I'm making a joke but no, I'm sure almost everyone deletes everything in a map folder except for the MP3 and the map itselfs when playing serious stuff, which means using your own skin + black background (sometime grey or other color because of dark colored hits).I do that as well, I also delete most custom hitsounds cause i'm more at ease with my own.
Some skins have almost undistinctable hit images, like K-ON's skin, you don't really know if you are hitting 300 100 or what, some other skins (like some Bleach skin there's around) are just awful for playing, the hits are huge and innecesarily flashy, they are just a nuisance when playing (I don't even want to think about playing hidden with that kind of skins). As I said before and Derekku even said I was somehow right, maps shouldn't have any skin on them, they should use the "load skin from skins folders" feature, like maps like Hourai Victim by 3L do, if you want to use Touhou skin on maps it fits, then download it and have it on your skins folder, this doesn't only make maps lighter but makes the user able to easily decide if he wants to use custom skins or just his skin.Dragvon wrote:

I'm sorry for them but there are many maps that are kinda unplayable with their skins/bg/sb's, if mappers want users to enjoy their work they should begin with understanding this is a game where we, to begin with, play, it's nice to have some nice stuff to watch while playing, but that's secondary, the main event is playing and if the scenery cuts into the gaming, then something's wrong. As I think I said, personally I (almost) always end up playing maps with SB and that stuff if I'm not looking for some hard FC/rank, but there are some maps that I just can't play with their SB, and that's not my fault, it's the mapper's fault for making a SB way too distracting or blinding (yellow shit on the SB, yellow and orange hits, horray you can't see a thing).peppy wrote:

I don't have problems with skins or storyboard unless the skins hit300, hit100 etc. are the same color. I distinguish them from their color, so yeah x.x Oh and awful spinners. I'm able to play with storyboards most of the time, I just kinda block it out when I'm playing. Only thing I guess is when I try to do some hard stuff, where I, yeah, delete everything xP
Still a good solution, and I guess you'd just have to get better at playing with Backgrounds (if that's kept) rather than without

God guys, what the hell is wrong with you all?
Really, take me back to 2007, when noone complained about anything, and we all played everything without complaining everytime.
Peppy just proposed a really nice way to have a compromise with all the storyboard toggle that were requested in the past (and he wasn't forced to do so), he proposed a nice idea with a good implementation and you're still bitching because you don't even want to watch a SB ONCE?
I dunno if I'm the sick guy or you are.
Why do we mappers even bother to storyboard if noone wants to see our works?
I NEVER lagged and my pc is quite old (P4 3.4Ghz, 1GB ram, NVidia 6600GT 256MB).
Then i checked SB load, just to be sure. It has a average of 3,5/4.0x and barely passes 5.0 in some transitions. I expected way more, seeing the quality of the work.
So, you chose a really bad example, because that SB is perfect: nice, not flashy and well optimized.
And I'm the only one who did such record, iirc.
If i could do it, why can't someone else with other maps?
Honestly, if you can't play with a normal BG on (there are some bad BG, but there's people who deletes everything and that's nonsense, really) you have some problems with playing the game, don't blame the beatmap.
That said: i raged because I can't understand you.

How about toggling background into default(osu logo) or if skin applied into "playfield" (actually those are used only on ranking screen and few old maps)(only asking).
Seriously, storyboards and new skins makes osu! play much funnier. But if you are running xxxx programs in background or something, you will always have lags...
If you really don't like skins, SB's applied by mapper check the actually pending maps and inform mappers about that... don't complain when map is actually ranked...

how can you delete this SB? it is amazing
When I travel or I'm not at home I got my notebook with me, and I get low FPS there with Low-End PC thing on, I just can't play maps with videos or storyboards, meaning if I want to play there in the future I'll have to wait for the whole map to be autoplayed for playing it, don't you think that's just dumb?

Plus yeah I hate doing AR 10 things with BG/SB, same with very fast things, I can't see the followpoints clearly and that's just a problem (depends on map though, some have just dark backgrounds and those work fine).
No reason to force something which people are going to do anyway. I'm thinking of multiplayer, where it's nice to disable a bad SB/skin when you know it's bad because someone else tells you or you know about the problems but haven't played the map before. I'm not sure how you will handle the "first played" thing either. Isn't that a locally stored thing? If so, it's easily skippable without actually playing the map, or you can just make another difficulty with one note, which would be faster than auto double time. Not to mention, you can just run the auto-DT and walk away from the computer.peppy wrote:

It just seems like it's a lot of extra work to force someone to watch the storyboard when most of osu will watch the storyboard eventually anyway. If you've already got this all coded (in your head?) then go for it. I just think the more complex you make something, the more bugs you introduce, and the more confusing it is to people.
Glad you're not going to get rid of backgrounds, I like them even though most people complaining would rather just have black ones.

That said: i raged because I can't understand you.Some insane DT or AR10 HR are way more easy with black backgrounds cause you can focus on the followpoints, it's all about increased reactivity.
how can you delete this SB? it is amazingI watched it once but when i had to set my record i had to "rename" (not delete) the SB folder.
Well, everyone has his own opinion, I can't deny that.
But not accepting such a nice compromise because you don't even want to see what a mapper may have spent hours for just because you're like "lol i don't care delete" it's only a selfish whim.
As a mapper and storyboarder, i was supporting the "old" osz2 where everyone was forced to keep the SB for various reasons: Everyone will play the same way -> more fair; the map won't get misinterpreted because of missing stuff -> correct judgement of the map quality.
And also because i prefer people to play my maps as a whole: if you deleted BG/skin/SB from some of my maps, please delete the whole map and don't even play them, as they're not being played as i wanted them to be.
I'm not forcing you to download my map and to play it. If you like it, enjoy it. If you don't like it, delete and forget about it.
Even considering what i just said, i stll can accept this compromise because it will benefit the majority of people and still let my SBs get a little more chance to be seen before getting removed "for a better gameplay".
So i don't understand why me, a mapper who MAKES storyboards, can accept the compromise and you, who are not forced to play it, can't accept it.
Stop being selfish, it's impossible to make everyone happy in a 600k users community, yet peppy is still trying to discuss this because he saw the huge amount of requests this issue got.

I can't play with low AR because too much notes confuse me and make me fail.
So I play only with Hard Rock mode but it's just impossible to play it with a background, that's why I delete it.
Then when I won't be able to delete background, I won't be able to play osu! anymore.
That's sad. :/
Also even if I have a good computer, a lot of skin and SB make me freeze, even on new ranked maps.

Oh god, guys never play my maps, delete them.
I'm serious, I do my best thinking about how to make every skinned element/BG/SB as playable as possible (maybe i didn't a lot of time ago but i do now) and then i get people who removes everything i spent hours for.
Don't play my maps if you want to remove stuff, ever.
I still don't understand why I'm able to play AR9 and some AR10 maps (AR10 maps with HR) even with the storyboard on.
Either I'm crazy or there's a problem with your computers.
So, I still don't understand why everyone removes everything, give me some good explanation with some evidence.
@JesusYamato: deleting or "renaming", at the end both of them lead to the same result.

I'm with Card on this, seriously, if you guys are just going to screw up everything the mappers put on the maps then why would the mappers bother even storyboarding and dedicating time to make something pretty on their maps.
Mappers spend a long time creating these storyboards to give a great sensation when you play their maps, modders work hard optimizing the storyboards of mappers to make them lag the least for players, and you guys still complain even when you only have to watch it once?
And now you want a skin toogle too?
And a BG toggle?
What will it be later? a custom hitsound toggle?
and then what let's not even play?
Seriously guys, learn the appreciate the work other people do to create a better gaming experience for you guys, to see something more than a BG and some circles.

42GB is nothing

And we're back to square 1.
People who want to keep the BG, etc will keep it and people who don't like eye candy stuff will remove it. Why does it matter to you if i disable your skin or not? Plenty of other users will still see it

I just hope older maps won't get converted to osz2 so i can still play those.
People who want to keep the BG, etc will keep it and people who don't like eye candy stuff will remove it. Why does it matter to you if i disable your skin or not? Plenty of other users will still see it
.I just hope older maps won't get converted to osz2 so i can still play those.
I hope people can accept with a straight face that some users are more easily distracted than others. Whether it's flickering backgrounds or random objects/lyrics flying around in behind hit objects, some of us can't help but be distracted by those. I've had one player tell me about fake flashlighting effects in some maps making that section entirely unplayable to that user. I am completely in favor of allowing anyone to disable any skin or visual effect. Some maps, the only beef I had with it was the mapper used a stupid cursor that made the entire thing difficult to play without deleting skin elements. There's a skin called Hikari (or something like that) which especially during kiai sections, leaves additional approach circles hovering around each hit circle, I hate this skin with a passion (were they TRYING to make the game unplayable?). And don't get me started on skins that make all the hit objects 50-60% transparent. Now that's just being mean.
I have plenty of reason to support the disabling or modification of storyboard and skin elements. To me, the core game is the hit circles, sliders, and spinners, and their placement according to space and time. Everything else is icing on the cake, and when it gets in the way of game play for any individual reason, the player should be able to deal with it.

In as much as I don't like the concept of "disabling someone's hard work", it still makes perfect sense. The sort of people who would utilize the "disable storyboards" feature are not a storyboarder's target audience. In spite of that, forcing them to view a storyboard once through will still provide the opportunity to "discover a hidden gem".
Oh well! Maybe it does matter to me because I (or better: WE mappers) make the maps YOU (players) play?JesusYamato wrote:

How about we stop mapping or getting maps ranked, you guys are never satisfied anyway, always complaining! Might as well avoid the trouble!

Let me end this discussion here or it won't end well (also i have to go to bed)
The more i write here the more I want to change my mind and disagree with peppy's proposal because we can't give you people a hand or else you'll end up taking our whole arm.

I should have seen this response coming.
This feature request is still open and good; I just don't want to see this go down the same path as any other time this has been discussed. It seems some people think that osu! is just a competitive game with no heart, and that beatmappers should just be placing hitObjects (hey why don't we return back to 2007 when you didn't even need a background!!).
Hopefully my solution will help out the non-vocal majority of people, while apparently failing to satisfy some that have posted their strong opinions in this thread.
Edit: Also for those complaining about "lag", I will say what I've said forever, and that is to report it in the beatmap's thread. No map should "lag". (Make sure to !faq lag and understand what lag is and how to describe it.)

Edit: Okay, I'll actually leave this unlocked, but please refrain from continuing the same argument to the point of destruction. Before you post, consider this argument from a mapper's perspective too.

IMO that is a very fair condition and one that I, as a person who generally gets distracted by SB's, am very happy with.
still sucks for the epileptic people, I guess they can just ignore their computer while auto plays through it then disable the SB.
also you'll need to PLAY the map once...not watch auto play it, play it
oh, well uh.
somebody should tell us more about the epileptic thing. a friend of mine wants to play, but she's uber-paranoid because she's epileptic.

I am against any possibility of disabling SB and skins.
From the perspective of a mapper for obvious reasons.
From the perspective of a player because I want everyone to see the same and have the same chances.
I've always already disliked the "no video" mod for this reason. Why do people have to have crappy computers

cry me a river wishy, I play on a netbook and I don't have problems loading SB's.
on the subject of mappers making skins/SB's, I absolutely love them, although some SB's distract me substantially.
then there are storybords like THIS ONE that make me want to throw bricks at whoever ranked it
anyways...

Bittersweet, letting users decide whether to play with SB/BG/Skin or not has nothing to do with what's osz2 supposed to do, afaik it is meant to make the submission system work better or something like that, but a consecuence of using that system is that users no longer have access to modify some stuff on maps they download. Nobody is telling him to dump all his work, you're getting it wrong.
And E-Hooker, I almost never play on my notebook, so I don't care (barely play a 3 or 4 days on it), but some people actually play on notebooks like mine or worse everyday, and it's gonna be a pain for them to have to play the unplayable, which is my point basically.

All that im getting is that you saying same thing over and over again. It won't change anything about this new system, which in my opinion is a great idea for make both sides happy. If you wanna be so selfish, its up to you, i dont care, im just tired of ready same thing in every of your posts, honestly. If you dont wanna waste 4/5 really important minutes of your life, don't play anymore. Noone is forcing you to.
About ppl who plays with bad conditions: atm I play in a shitty notebook which can barely reaches 200fps. Sb lags me? As hell. If i mind of play lagged once and then free of it? Nope at all.
tl;dr (even if its short): stop to cry.
And sorry about it to the other users ^^'

Foreground - displays on top
Background - displays on bottom, otherwise identical to foreground
Pass - displays if you are currently "passing" the song with good health
Fail - displays if you are currently "failing" the song with bad health
The suggested new layers would be:
Epileptic - displays only if (presumably) a toggle is set in the options that you do NOT have epilepsy and can see flashes >3Hz without having a seizure.
Hard Rock - displays only if the player has the "Hard Rock" mod active, which mirrors the notes' locations, so you can add a storyboard which is contingent on being a certain distance away from one particular note which is not in the direct middle of the play area.
Guys, peppy has gone from a flat out "No, fuck you" to a "OK, you can disable both the skin AND storyboard but with a tiny, minuscule catch which will literally only hinder your playing time by 2-3 minutes."
This is a GOOD thing, if he wanted to he could go back to the "no fuck you" mode.
Please stop arguing because it'll only make things worse. :/

Option to disable storyboard and skins? Awesome
As a mapper who has made both skins and storyboards, I honestly don't give a crap about who deletes the SB / skin. If that's how they want to play it, fine. Personally, I think if the SB / skin is the only good part about the map, there is something wrong. Who am I to tell people what do do? Let them play the way they think it is most enjoyable

I did. It's good as a compromise and I guess if storyboards really cause lag for so many people it can't be helped.peppy wrote:

But, for me, lag is the only valid reason to do that, that's why I'm not happy with an option to disable skins being included as well.
There has even been a request for a background toggle as well in this thread. People would be using that and the skin toggle, like they are deleting the files atm, just to rid themselves of any "distractions" (= eye-candy) and use their own custom skins to make it easier to get high scores/records. I was hoping for osz2 to put an end to this tbh. Of course, I am free to do the same, but deciding not to do it automatically puts me at a disadvantage compared to the players who do. It means I have to decide between either playing to enjoy the atmosphere of a map (with eye-candy) or trying to get a good record (without, because it makes it easier and that's what the others will do).
That decision is what bothers me, because I'd have most fun being able do both.
Topic Starter
It's not a disadvantage; it's your choice to play in a way which suits you.
Skin toggle in my eyes is more important than storyboard from a playability perspective due to no standards on ranked maps' skins; basically anything goes currently. This does need to change in my eyes.

This might sound wierd, but I personally think that background disabling option might be helpful too.
I had to delete them for quite a number of times and for different reasons, like too many white/very bright colors, combo colours blending with the background too much (this especially applies to hidden), or, err, general dislike of a background (after all, there are pictures which would irritate you when you're forced to look at them for 30 minutes or something), maybe a mix of those above.
In all the above cases black screen worked just great.
I believe same reasoning as with storyboard disabling might work here too, except backgrounds are mostly random pictures from internet and I think it wouldn't hurt the mapper as much as if I've had to delete the storyboard he took time and effort making.

If I add a background disable function, it will also disable all hit objects, sounds, and osu! itself.
You sure should, thought this forum already had one.peppy wrote:

Pretty much every storyboard with constant flashes and somewhat good quality, options = everything disables + low end PC (which actually disables again most of the stuff). Sadly my notebook is into that 0.00000000000002%, and I'm damn sure I'm not the player with the worst notebook ever on this game. I'll eventually get a new laptop since I'm pretty much able to, but I'm sure some people can't just go and upgrade their PCs just for osu!.

What resolution, what map (give at leat one sample?), what renderer, what graphics card/cpu, what kind of lag (low fps, stuttering etc.)?
1280x800, http://osu.ppy.sh/s/20210 or http://osu.ppy.sh/s/23667 for example, about computer specs I got to find out, not sure about them, gonna add them later. Basically I got spikes when the SB goes "heavy", maybe with motion and constant flashes, in rare cases I get constant low FPS but normally I get some freezing every some seconds, which actually makes the game unplayable.
In fact, disabling SBs would be even more serious than disabling BGs because of what you said, a mapper makes an SB, most BGs are pics taken from http://www.somewallpapersite.com or Google.TKiller wrote:

I actually think the hitcircleoverlay is as important, if not more important than the hitcircle color.
It just so happens that most are white because people use the default. If you use a light background, I think it will be fine to use a light hitcircle color iif you use a dark hitcircleoverlay.

And it's also very personal, colour perception differs from person to person, so what is ok for mapper/approver can be hard to read for a different player.
so i guess i should weigh in even though i'm sure everything i'm about to say has been said before. the two main 'arguments' i see involve storyboarders wanting people to see their work and players that want to have the option to turn them off.
peppy has proposed a solution that forces each storyboard to be viewed once before giving players the option to turn them off.
storyboarders are being selfish for wanting to force people to view storyboards 100% of the time. players are being selfish for wanting to turn them off without giving them a shot.
having played some 500 or so beatmaps, i think there have only been 2 storyboards or so that i've wanted to disable. the majority of storyboards are very minimal, tastefully done and legitimately add some visual interest to the beatmap.
i can't speak for lag, but i can't imagine that 100% of the storyboards lag even the most severely underpowered systems. all games have minimum system requirements. if all storyboards lag your computer, consider your computer to be under those requirements. you should be thankful that you are maintaining the ability to play osu! on your system at the small expenditure of no fail/double timing each beatmap once. you may even discover certain storyboards that don't lag your system at all and that you actually like that you wouldn't have seen before.
if you're a storyboarder that is against this compromise, i can't see why. you're actually gaining one view of your storyboard over the current system. this compromise should just make it so you're spending more time on your storyboards to ensure they don't lag and don't hinder game-play at all. over time, this will make your storyboards better than they are currently, and you may gain more fans that have noticed that your storyboards are the only ones they don't disable because they are made so well.

as for me, i'm all about choice. peppy's compromise allows me to retain my privilege of choosing which storyboards i want to see when i'm feeling 'competitive'. he has every right to take that privilege away so i would suggest that everyone not overlook that fact. at the end of the day, this is his product, not ours. if we don't like it, the only thing we can rightfully do is to go make our own osu!, something i'm certain very few of us could actually pull off.

Just noting that I think this is a fair compromise.
I would have supported this, but after reading this thread... No.
By the way, the smaller the osu window size, the less the lag.

Is human eye even capable of noticing a difference within 120 constant FPS and 2000? xd
You just need not to have freezes, if you have constant 60 FPS it should be fine... at least I played tons of games with FPS limited to 60 or 120 and it was all good.

60fps is plain unplayable for me, input lag and everything, 120fps i feel the approach circle sometime is skipping frame, unlimited = everything is smooth.
Is human eye even capable of noticing a difference within 120 constant FPS and 2000Human eye can perceive up to 200 images per second I think but that doesn't really matter as your screen refresh rate limits everything to 59.97-60-120-200hz (depending on your monitor and GPU)
60FPS is absolutely brilliant for most games, but for osu!, it's crap.Wishy22 wrote:

Lower FPS cause bigger input delay too in case you didnt know, and +/- 10~20 ms on input delay can be detrimental on rythm games
I don't really know how to explain.I'm stuck on vsync and that's my average fps, if I use 120 or unlimited my pointer gets stuck at each spinner (plus, it doesn't get the click input properly)JesusYamato wrote:
How can you play with 45fps, if i have less than 200 fps I can't play correctly at all. (Yes I can feel a difference between 120fps and unlimited, I run at 3000+ constantly)
Topic Starter
60fps is only a problem if you are pre-rendering frames (most graphics cards have this set on by default). Apart from that, going higher than 60 is just going to get you a slightly perceived faster update (but with tearing) from no vsync, and more precise click timing. The average human eye will be happy with 30fps due to what they are used to when watching TV/movies. A trained eye will be happy with 60fps, and going higher has very minimal gains.
If you are feeling a difference between 120 and 2000, you are feeling the input delay reducing from 8.3ms to 0.5ms.

I'm glad to hear that we'll be able to turn off custom skins and storyboards when osz2 hits osu! because I have serious problems playing without my default skin.
A side note to turning off backgrounds, the ability to adjust the brightness of the background/playfield might be useful.
