I am currently on an old low-end laptop and when i try to play osu! i get <60fps and 6ms+ input delay. does anyone have any tips to get some more performance out? i suddenly feel like playing osu again but this laptop is the only computing device i currently have (ignore this part)

cpu: i3-2350m
gpu: integrated graphics
ram: 4gb
os: Linux Mint 20.2

thanks in advance if anyone knows some tips !

EDIT: after further inspection, i am able to actually hold a stable 60fps, but my input delay averages around 17ms. so then how can i fix that delay? i saw on a forum post a long time ago that high input latency can be an issue with osu on Linux but i can't find the thread that shows the solution. does anyone know where that is?

This query would probably be better in the Help subforum.

Don't think there's much you can do, other than disabling every single visual effects. You can also run the game at a lower resolution, or even use a lightweight skin.

That ##ms number you see on the bottom corner of the game isn't input delay, but frame time in milliseconds. That's how long it takes for your machine to render 1 in-game frame.

e.g. take 1000ms (1 second), and you divide it by 17ms (time it takes to render 1 frame),
you get 58.8 frames in that 1 second. 58.8fps (or rounded to 60fps)

ohh i see, thank you! i'll try running the game at a lower resolution. do you know of any good lightweight skins?

Don't know any on the top of my head. Now that I think about it though, any fps loss is marginal at most.
That said as long as you don't use a heavy skin (we're talking a lot of animated elements, flashy effects or large overall filesize), there shouldn't be much of a performance issue. At worst a heavy skin might load slow at the beginning as it loads the skin elements for the first time.
