I really feel like writing an essay or something defending the original ranking system, but for now just a few words since I'm seriously disheartened by the number of people cheering for the old system to be done away with:

Argument 1: The old system forces us to play songs we don't like to get ahead.

Point: Do you really think it's fair to be able to get the top spot ignoring maps you hate? What about the monthly charts? Aren't those only according to someone's taste?

Argument 2: It's meaningless because you can just play easy maps that have more points to pull ahead of more experienced players.

-Is the time investment in this game really worth nothing to you? Most good multiplayer scoring systems both offer ways for super skilled players to jump up quickly AND methods of "grinding" to crawl your way to the top in a slow but steady way. Why shouldn't a player be rewarded with a higher rank for having played a LOT more maps, or having been with the game longer, investing YEARS into their rank. Is it really fair to (us) to just decide one day, ya know, rank isn't accurate, let's just do away with it and find a more creative way to rank the players.

This is just to counter-argue some of the points brought up on this thread, I could write more about why I really agree with the current system for ranking and why it is a very good system, but I'll save that for another day.

nice points!!!
you did what i wished to do XD

Rank sort has been restored in b1797, along with a few other minor fixes.

Actually, slanted circle was a old one. I prefer old one, but new design isn't bad.

Yep, if you see the new logo to be slanted then your eyes are fooling you. Even as of now I see it skewed sometimes.

since the ranking tab's back, no more complaints =v=
and chat tabs still exist after dc. that's awesome
loggin status on the bottom also nice XD

Osu now Lag randomly on beatmaps which don't lag on previous osu build
Topic Starter

If you are getting lag, then report it in the help forum. Make sure you consider this:

18:02 <ppy> !faq lag
18:02 <BanchoBot> Lag is a very general term, which can be used to describe just about
anything going wrong with anything.
18:02 <BanchoBot> If you are going to complain about lag, please be specific in
exactly WHERE the lag occurs, and WHAT it involves (internet lag?
graphical freezes? slow framerate? input lag? brain lag?)
18:02 <BanchoBot> Also mention when the "lag" occurs, if there are any special
conditions for it to occur, and if you have any idea what caused it.
Also make sure to check nothing else is running on your PC which
could affect CPU/memory/disk usage.

The most important fact being when it occurs, and if it always occurs in the same location. Exact second values are helpful. Specifying the maps it happens on is helpful. Giving any kind of detail is helpful. "my game lags" is not.

I miss the old stars and the tilt of the osu! circle, but I'm not saying the new skin is bad either. The blue bg is nice and once I got over the shock I love the courser too, although it looses a lot of it's spam click enjoyment during breaks because the center crosshair does not expand.

I don't notice where the bancho status is suppose to be though,

When you can't connect to Bancho, it says at the bottom that you can press Shift+F1 for Status updates. It basically opens the osustatus-twitter ingame

Already got a little useless graphical glitch.
When having osu minimized in the main menu and later opening that back, the "Move mouse left and right" gets reaaaally big:

I like the new cursor design and I'd like to use it for my own personal custom skin. I know deleting the custom cursor will show the default one but can somebody tell me how to find the actual files so that Ii can change the colors?
Sander-Don
nevermind..... ;_;
RandomJibberish
I'm pretty sure the bit of the cursor that doesn't rotate (the plus shape) isn't skinnable atm. It'd be awesome if it was though.

/me can't run osu! anymore <cry>
it just shows splash screen- after a while beep- no error but osu!(splash screen) just freezed(tried a few times - always freezes at 26-33MB of allocated ram)
nvm
reinstalled osu! and works fine now.
EvianBubble
Yea, the osu logo looks a bit ... odd in the main menu. I can't really put my finger on it, but it just looks a bit ... off O_O
Don't really like the new stars or cursor, but I guess I'll get used to it eventually :P
Haven't experimented around yet, those are just first impressions ^_^

Nice patch up and new features... Only one problem I've found is that when osu is looking for a song and there is some error with the map it just fubars itself and I have to restart osu. Before there would be no issue and I could play any map regardless of an audio error.

I don't like how the !where and !stats codes no longer work though. :(

I'm not sure if I'm right but it seems each time the GC is running, my game has a 1s freeze... And so far it only happens during breaks and sometimes last note before a break..

i have same problem, if u move maps to another folder (custom folders inside Songs folder), sometimes osu gettin stuck with a "unable to load audio" and there only one way to end it: ctrl+alt+del

I think that the new skin looks great, but I'm not really a fan of the little plus in the center of the cursor, it looks weird. Is there a way to toggle it? Or alternatively I could reskin it to be invisible, what is the file name?

I need help. I ran the Osu! update, and i updated Osu! then it give me an error and wont start Osu! :( i run an shortcut for Osu! but it just ran the Update and not Osu! it still gives me a error. i even went in the Osu! folder and renamed "Osu!.exe. zip new" to "Osu!.exe" but it just started the Updater again, and is giving me a error. Lastly yes i am connected to the internet very well. do i need to uninstall Osu! then install in all over again? :/

I experienced this when I was using the testbuild for awhile. Thought it was only my computer being bad though, so didn't really pay it a second thought, but seems I'm not the only one getting this :p Damn this lag made me have to retry Wing my Way 5 times or more or something xD

Is it really necessary to run a GC thread during gameplay? Can't you do it when we fail/pass?

Choose a skin.

Report this in the correct place; they should work (and do for me).

I added a forced run to stop people complaining about "lag after 110seconds into a song". Based on negative responses, this isn't a solution and will roll this back next build.

Choose a skin.
The little blue plus shows regardless of what skin you choose. Is this intended behavior? I assumed it was because this is a new element and all old skins do not have their own .jpg (what filename is it for skinning?)

Another problem here:

It seems when spectating someone else, supporters cannot download from osu!direct directly now. It shows you don't have the map but not give you the information of the map.
Wishy
Tried yesterday just after the update and it did 476.

Maybe have a toggle called "Adaptative garbage collection" for people with not a lot of ram.
Cause when a freeze happens midgame it just disturbs my flow even if it's during a break.
I have 12gb of ram and a i7 and the older way of garbage collecting worked better for me...
Oh well I can deal with it for now :cry:
Topic Starter
peppy
That's interesting; testing here showed no difference in performance... Usually the garbage collection will run on a separate thread and not affect gameplay at all, so something weird is going on there.
Waryas
When I tried the test build (tried it last week) it "always" happened on the very last note before a break , now it "usually" just happens on break.
I thought it was just my machine but after a few of my friends experienced it I deducted it was the garbage collection after reading the changelog.

When I alternate between osu!.exe and osu!test.exe, UAC on Win7 gets angry. I didn't get that before.

hmm, just wondering if it's possible to make the lead-in/preview point appear as the actual number in Song setup like the volume...Currently, modders have to check consistence of lead-in and preview point in .osu file.. It would save a lot of works for modders if there's a implement to see the number, also easier for new mappers to set-up.

Hi, Peppy ;D
I got a question for the 'screen resolution'
http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/70808

If I dont use fullscreen mode, then I only have 640x480 & 800x600 to choose
However, they r too small, hurt my eyes really bad
Because I used to play like this "NO Fullscreen Mode" with "1024x768"
Is there a way to slove this :?:

Btw, title screen is nice :!:

This is correct behaviour. It is changing your file associations to the new osu! version. Please choose test or public and keep running that (or disable UAC) if this bothers you.

This sounds good on paper, but GC also involves compaction, which needs to lock data being moved.

What's wrong in it being on the break, when you don't need to press anything? It's better than having this right in the middle of the deathstream

It should still fix all lag issues during gameplay, but it has adversely added freezes during breaks to people who weren't experiencing such freezes in the first place.
