With this build, osu!mania ranking is now in a beta testing stage. This means you can now submit scores for existing maps, but they will be reset after about a week, or maybe sooner. Use this time to have some fun and help us test the system out (make sure to report anything strange in Tech Support forum). Read on for a few more changes.

Simple background changes



As a supporter, you can now change the main menu background quickly by dragging any image file into osu! while at the menu. If you don't already have a custom skin, osu! will make you one called "User". This should be a lot easier than manually adding/replacing the file in your current skin, and allow for quickly previewing from a collection of images.

Button status overlay



When watching osu! standard replays (or spectating), you will now be able to see how the player pressed their buttons. You can also toggle this on for your own playing, which is useful when streaming or recording a video of yourself (check under Input settings in options).

Performance Improvements

After a lot of testing, I believe to have fixed a few long-term issues which cause some users to experience occasional game-freezes that could last up to a second. Please let me know if you are seeing improvements by replying in this thread.

fps in the beatmap list has gone from about 30 fps to about 80 fps. That is a notable improvement.

I still get horribly bad lags on maps with 1/8 sliderstreams like Marisa or Forgotten [grumd]. My PC can run osu! very fine. with average 300-400fps on playing, and doesn't lag with any SB/video, however when there are too many sliders on the screen at once, I get extremely annoying lags that often ruin my plays.

I probably posted this in wrong place but just stating x.x

I really like this "button status overlay" feature.
Will it be avaliable to all replays recorded since the beginning of osu! or just the ones recorded from now on? (I'm at work right now, can't test by myself)

Anyways, good job.

It will be for any replay since it saves your inputs anyways. It also works for Auto. That's the reason why it uses two keys now.

Love the button overlay but the mouse-clicks are very inaccurate for me. Most of my triple-notes show only show Z and X being pressed. At 800x600 resolution the overlay appears in the center of the health bar for me.

edit: peppy was right. thanks!

Wow! This is like my favorite update so far~!
Just because of the 'button status overlay'.
It's endlessly entertaining :) ~

I feel the button status overlay could be better if it indicates what score each key has hit, because it's hard to focus both on the field and the status at the same time.
For example, if the click results in a 100, the color of the status could probably be indicated with green, blue for 50, and red for miss. Right now every click shows yellow, so I can't tell the difference whether I got a 300 or not, and I'll have to focus on both the replay and the status.

This is just a suggestion.

Position is intended for now (use widescreen for a nicer layout).

Also left mouse and key1 have always been the same key internally, so if you press one while already holding the other it will not click in-game.

I am glad you changed your mind and implemented that feature about dragging image. Makes things very easy \:D/
+ keys overlay is just great
Keep it up with such nice features!

edit: seems like the problem is with the left-click. right-click seems fine
actually when i do right-click > left-click > K1, it seems fine
seems to not work only with a specific pattern. my strokes are: left-click> K1 > K2 > K1 > repeat. left-click doesn't get mapped with fast notes
oddly it seems to only bug like this when I play... if I spam those notes it works fine.. edit: i think it's like this because i'm not hitting the keys in my usual pattern

I'm not sure I understand. In the video I start off with taiko; the notes hit perfectly even when streaming. While I'm playing Eternal Feather, the triple notes hit (even though the song was slow hopefully one of them bugged so you can see).

The overlay should not show for taiko mode.

Gotta love that after the ''Fixed the occasional game freezes'' update I keep lagging while playing any video or sb and at the end of songs the fade from video/sb to beatmap background most of the times freezes
120 fps limiters makes my fps be more laggy than vsync

Except this, the beatmap selection improvement is a total win (more than 100% fps improvement compared to before)

About the osu!mania...its a interesting project but...nevermind

edit: Will the button status overlay be shown on other game modes too? peppy only referred osu!standard replays.

my suggestion is HR, HD 1.06, DT and FL 1.12
because DT FL is harder than HR HD

mania mod will never increase the total score which is setted to 1M, but will help you to reach a higher score.

A long time ago, I thought of the "seeing which keys you pressed" feature. I promptly forgot about it. D: I LOVE it! Might make replays more interesting.

Also, I've been practicing up on my osu!Mania skillz. :p I wonder how high I can get before official rankings?

And yet another reason why I need to become a Supporter. Soon, soon! ;p

I don't have a 'WOW' computer (Sandy Bridge i3) but it always ran osu! perfect. With this update, the game constantly freezes for 1 second, or less, but like 25-30 times per beatmap. Not only the music freezes, the game too, so I lose a lot of notes. And, at the time I am writing this reply, I have osu! open, with "Don't stop me now". Imagine it sounds like: "i'm having a good timeeee" and a lot of phrases like that in other beatmaps. I would like to get the previous version, to see if its a problem of my computer, or from osu!. Yes, I ticked low-end PC in settings. It's an annoying bug. HELP :S

I noticed when going through songs on the Song Selection screen, it would freeze for about a second, this has been fixed in the latest build. Thanks ppy!

I didn't quite get it. Is the entire build for supporters, or only those special features? :?

Edit: AH duh! The changelog mentions it! That's what I get for %&@! Internet connection. :x
