Problem details: literally every single time I boot the game the offset is dramatically different.
While playing a map the offset changes. While going through song select the offset changes. I've had this issue for going on 2 years stable and laser. I know of plenty of other players who have this same issue especially because when I've made post before I get several of them asking to post if I find a fix. I've spent maybe 20 hours doing every possible thing I can even upgrading my PC, moving files to faster storage, uninstall re install from factory(multiple times both clients) optimizing literally every setting you can think of. It is literally making the game borderline unplayable and has for years. I've found maybe 3-4 posts detailing this issue all with no response from staff and or finding a completely random solution that has no correlation with the other posts. i am out of options


Video or screenshot showing the problem:
No video but I've described the issue more than well enough and a video would do nothing

I can post a replay of it very clearly happening if really needed

We get these reports every now and again periodically. The reason they get "no response from staff" is that they're thoroughly difficult to detect and diagnose reliably, can be caused by a whole mess of "random" reasons including your hardware and drivers, as some people never get them (or notice?), and some keep reporting them but there is zero evidence to go on.

Maybe try following steps as outlined https://github.com/ppy/osu-stable-issues/issues/306#issuecomment-940603174 - that may help something. Or not. Maybe have a read through the rest of that thread as well and see if anything helps.

cool i assumed there would only be so much to be done

A relatively recent development suggests that there is a windows setting that may at least help isolate the cause of drifting offset. If you are willing to entertain admin-level tweaks to your system to test things out, you can try executing

bcdedit /set useplatformclock Yes

in an admin command prompt. NOTE: THIS WILL VERY LIKELY RESULT IN SOME DEGREE OF SYSTEM-WIDE PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION. THIS IS SOMEWHAT EXPECTED.

After testing the change can be reverted by

bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
