After over a month (sorry) we are finally here! osu! is better than ever with a new game mode (Catch The Beat) and so many new features, it's hard to name them in this sentence. Think friend lists, opengl support, performance improvements and more. Read on for the juicy details.
osu! b496 has the following dependencies that first need to be prepared/completed:
note: a bug fix release was issued at 03:27 GMT +8 which addresses most crashes caught over the 4 hour period since release.
Deployment complete!
Concise changelog:
(+) Friends list support in Extended Chat mode. Add your friends and filter by them so you can easily see who is online!
(+) New game mode selection screen, and brand new game mode - 'Catch The Beat'.
(+) OpenGl support. osu! will run on any system regardless of specs!
(+) osu!direct panel - get the most of your subscription with the ability to download beatmaps directly from a multiplayer game, spectating session, or the osu! chat window. All without opening your browser. (subscription required)
(+) New offset wizard. Uses the standardised tutorial to help you find your universal offset easier than before.
(+) First release of the official osu! tutorial. Available via osume, installer and offset wizard.
(+) Progress bar visible on the playfield. Can adjust to three different positions.
(+) In-game FPS display option.
(+) Editor: Can copy timing information to clipboard (Ctrl+C at timing screen).
(+) Skinning: New skin colour options (for song selection text).
(+) New dialog while importing beatmaps.
(+) New Taiko HP increase formula. A lot more authentic.
(*) Game will run at up to 1280x960.
(*) Mouse cursor is hidden when not being used.
(*) Smarter beatmap info refreshing and downloading. Bandwidth consumed is a lot lower.
(*) Fix for bancho lag issues.
(*) HUGE performance increase (spinners, song title display, extended chat, song selection, video playback, beatmap importing).
(*) HalfTime nerf to 0.3x multiplier.
(*) Many editor improvements.
(*) Improved Autoplay and replay accuracy (should never miss now, except for on broken beatmaps).
(*) Increased 'passing' standard for O/X in break.
(*) Over 120 bug fixes.
Known Deficiencies:
(!) If OpenGl is running badly, turn off Limit Framerate in options
(!) CatchTheBeat and Taiko mode can not save replays (but spectator works!).
(!) Spinners in CatchTheBeat are still colourful on spinners after failing in MP.
(!) Spinners may disappear during spectator mode... I can't replicate this bug nor find the cause (but it seems rare).
(!) Tablet support may not work so well in OpenGl mode.
(!) Windows mouse cursor may appear during gameplay in OpenGl.
If you experience any of last three issues above (or any other weird issues) then please contact me. Using this thread is probably the best way. Also share your feedback - this is the best way to let me know if you are happy or not with the progression of osu
.
