With the implementation of osz2 in the (near) future, rumors are that players will not be able to delete SB/skin elements from the Songs folder anymore. Also, it is widely known that numerous requests for the option to disable SB in-game has been all denied.
Add two and two, and we get the disastrous result that we are stuck with every kind of SB that a mapper may come up with and get ranked, regardless of how badly it lags our PCs or affects our gameplay.
As much as the new builds are expected to reduce lags in SB loading, lags are just something you cannot part with; it is not a matter of you having a top-notch machine and graphic card, it is a matter of all the other players out there who still have to put up with machines so shitty that even Solitare lags while cards are being distributed.
Therefore, I have made this thread to discuss about why we must not be allowed the option of disabling SBs in-game. They are known to cause lags/hinder gameplay, and the argument that SB is an intrinsic part of a map with hours of work by mappers has nothing to do with players not being given the option to disable them, so please refrain from making the same arguments that were there three years ago.
Make it productive, and stay on track. I do not want to see this topic locked.
Forum admins, please feel free to move this to GD if it is appropriate. Thanks.
EDIT: The discussion now includes being able to delete skin elements as well as disabling/deleting SB elements.
