I actually personally use a d3d antilag dll hook (there's a thread about it somewhere on the forums as well) so my fps caps around 480 fps (with a GTX 650 TI Boost)

It doesn't waver too much, believe it or not, but sometimes people will have VERY VERY unsteady and unreliable fps with unlimited

Depends on your setup, but mine fluctuates between 1200-2400 unless I have another game open in the background, in which case it drops to 600-800. Not that it matters though, because I have absolutely zero screen tearing

TL;DR: probably wild, it won't be anything anywhere near stable


@OP: was expecting shitpost, came to shitpost, found a great thread with some good info instead. Disagree on some of the points but mostly it's really what it is. Congrats on writing this, it's awesome and hopefully will help a lot of newbies

Just figured I'd quote this because unsteady (my case) does not necessarily mean unreliable. If your FPS is unreliable it won't be high enough to be notably unsteady anyways

straight posture = back problems later
excessive slouching = back problems later
best bet is a comfortable curve

I see a lot of people using snaking sliders but I've personally kept it checked off for as long as I can remember. Am I missing out?
Vuelo Eluko
yes

Pretty well written Adam :P

Very well written and very detailed. However, I do have a question.

A brief explanation of how raw input works: the game will intercept and use the tablet's RAW INPUT data that was being sent to windows interfacing/ drivers. This will make your aim more absolute/ without acceleration. For mouse players, 6/11 windows sensitivity is your friend. Anything else causes pixel skipping.
So, when you say 6/11 windows sensitivity is your friend, does that mean it has the same effect as Raw Input? For example, if I had 6/11 windows sensitivity and Raw Input off, would I still get perfect 1:1 aim?

Disable Snacking Slider for old PC System and Laptops. Run too faster, not laggs. :)

For Wacom-Tablet don't worked with enable RAW-Input. :D

To get better, you should not change too often the skin. Otherwise you can not play properly you when the new skin is unfamiliar. Take prefer that fits well and like. Only so times info.

No, they do not work the same.

Again, since windows does not process the raw input data and it goes directly to the game, windows doesn't affect the way the data is handled (minus your usual basic sensitivities, such as the 6/11). After the raw data is handled by windows, any acceleration, and your mouse drivers it is then used/ monitored in the game, causing some slight input delay

I hope that makes a little bit more sense

I didn't know you could even use raw input for a tablet, but why would you? When I tested it out all it did was make my cursor move slower and I would miss more often with it enabled. What is the point when you know exactly where your cursor should be on the screen and having this enabled just slows down the process?

Raw input means osu! will get data from the hardware directly, ignoring any software that processes the input. In theory this should be faster, but it really all depends on the software the tablet uses and how osu! is coded. I haven't noticed a difference on my tablet other than not being able to force proportions, so I don't use it.

I'll put that raw input results may vary then

I didn't see anything stickied aside from the improvement tips thread, and this isn't quite the same thing. I had nothing to lose :)

You pretty much start by saying "you should copy my game settings". (threads like this have been posted a lot, and often result in the thread creator receiving abuse. Probably won't happen to you since you are more credible than rank ~80,000 players I suppose, but still)

At the end, you say to not worry about these technical details too much, pretty much saying people should play how they want.

I just don't see the point of this thread.

Not sure if trolling or not, lol

Suffice it to say I put considerable effort into this, and do sincerely believe that most of these settings (which, believe it or not, are NOT ALL my own since I changed a few of them for the guide) are going to be the best for the crowd I was trying to appeal to. I think I had some insight to offer that other players didn't as well

I'm sorry my 500th beginner's guide didn't seem that special to you, do you want me to add fireworks to it?

How is sitting in rigid position going to make me any better at circle clicking?
Dumii
In all honesty, he actually tried to help out with legitimate advice to prevent RSI too .-.

It won't, but it'll prevent you from developing serious health problems in the future.

I'd like to see a source which shows that I'll develop serious health issues from not having my feet flat on the floor.

The feet probably won't make too much of a difference, but it's proven that posture helps with your attitude, and osu! is actually a very mental game. If you don't have the right mindset and think you suck, you're gonna suck

If by "source" you mean an article from a scientific journal I don't think you'll get one unless you find it yourself since they're kinda tough to find, but a simple google search will bring up tons of pages citing the importance of keeping your feet flat. From what I can tell it has to do with pelvic alignment.

Well, i shall be damned, for daring to play osu! while lieing on my bed.

Wait, how were you able to use a custom resolution? (or are you using a 16:10 monitor)
Vuelo Eluko
16:10 is the aspect ratio you get when you go widescreen on osu! on a 4:3 monitor

How does that even make any sense

4:3 is by definition not widescreen
also you can force almost any resolution on almost any screen
Vuelo Eluko
i mean thats the default widescreen options that osu! gives me for my 4:3 monitor, 16:10

Really good tips. I second this should be sticked.

Sorry for the really late bump, but does this mean that 6/11 mouse sensitivity alone would be more accurate and swift (Less input lag) than using Raw Input? I have a relatively slow computer which can only run osu! at 120 FPS consistently, if that makes any difference with Raw Input.

More accurate, yes. Less input lag, no

Your computer doesn't change anything
E m i
using both would give you the desired result regardless of the answer
XgenSlayer
So does that necessarily mean 6/11 windows sensitivity and Raw Input off is better than Raw Input on if I'm a mouse player? Thanks for the replies by the way.

On because why not?
