Following the previous release in quick succession, here is a bug fix build which also brings a few of the features which have been on the test server for almost a year now, as well as a few important changes to osu! gameplay:

  1. Chat tabs are now smarter and can be rearranged.
  2. All mods except Autoplay (obviously :p) are now submitted. SpunOut is now rankable with a 0.9x multiplier, while Relax and AutoPilot just add to playcount and total score. As we are moving towards a pp-based system, I don't see a reason for not having it this way. For those complaining about SpunOut changes, read below.
  3. Fixes bugs from the last release.
  4. Hopefully fixes polish keyboard input.
  5. A lot of other small changes, but you can go read the changelog and/or find them yourself!
Let me also point out that since the last release, you can officially run osu! in OS X to submit scores and play pretty smoothly! More details here.

Please report any issues you have in the support forum (but check first for an existing thread before making a new one!). More updates coming soon!

SpunOut was never supposed to be a practice mod. It was meant to give those people not wanting to spin a chance to play (as in the past, people complained that spinning was hurting their hands/wrists). I am just bringing it back in line with its true purpose. It is now rankable since I don't see a reason to now allow it to be. Any average player will be able to beat the rate it spins at with relative ease — and even if they can't, the slight negative multiplier will ensure it is fair.

If you want a "practice" mode, log out. I don't agree with the concept of hiding your practicing. If you are trying to hide the fact you have to practice in order to get that awesome score, then you are basically cheating. Practice is nothing to be ashamed of, so just do it online. Or unplug your network cable and be silly.

Edit: The accuracy formula will soon be changed. I did originally state this in my post but I must have edited it out by mistake.

peppy. That was fast to make a release again OwOb

Interesting.
Nyquill
finally I can rearrange my friggen chat tabs.
jonathanlfj
so does that mean for a game mode like spunout, the score you achieve will count toward ur ranked score (assume its ranked map) and/or total score? How will it affect ur accuracy and play count?

You clearly didn't read this:

Accuracy calculations will likely change in the near future, so don't worry too much about those few scores you have at really low accuracy — they will soon be excluded from your total.
Anyways, I think that relax and autopilot mods should be x0.10, just my opinion though...

Ever since i updated my osu, whenever i almost finish a song it crashes. :(
Pokie
Oh wow, New build again (*´∀`*)
Yarissa
So in other words this means I need to go offline to practice impossibly hard songs if I'm worried about my score getting ranked with a low accuracy. If you don't mind me asking, what's the accuracy threshold for being ranked?
tgmerge
So I have to go offline when I want to relax- -
Well, not too bad but somehow still don't like it ...

osu! crashes sometime when one plays with relax mod.
Not just me has this.

osu crashed 3 times in a row in the same map http://osu.ppy.sh/s/44591 right after finishing the last spinner (with DT+HD)

edit: well after that the last 2 plays were fine again

Inb4 FL players now "play offline" or just disappear?

Good modifications imo, hiding your play counts was gay anyways.

My OSU crashed twice now. It was on 2 different maps.

osu crashes after playing with relax mod. When the scores should appear, osu just crashes :<
Hope peppy can fix this in next release soon T.T
Maneuver
I'm curious as to how achievement works now, last time with unrankable mod except Auto, can i get 2000 combo or any combo achievement when it is unrankable ?

and now it is rankable, can i get 2000 combo or any combo achievement with spun-out + auto pilot ?

Neverrtheless this update is really good (Finally... rearrangable tabs :D )

Could you add some kind of message like "Your chat partner has disconnected." when your... chat partner disconnects? Same if he connects, sometimes you don't really notice he is gone/came back online.

It used to tell you if someone was offline when you sent the person a message. Now it just lets you talk to yourself for however long you want. ;-;

There's a feature request for this, and this used to be normal behaviour, but it disappeared somehow (I think during the Bancho update of last October... if I remember correctly).

Still, if you want you can dig around a bit for the thread in Feature Requests.

It should tell you the user isn't there when you send a message?

Spun Out is 0.9x
Thank Goodness, I thought the tablet users were getting the upper hand and the advantage of spinning.

It doesn't, just tried it out with Fabi. And he spammed me so much he even got muted.

It doesn't.

2012-05-21 15:38:40 SILENCE 5 minute(s) spamming Wishy22 (automated server protection)

When he logged out I still could send him messages.

So Relax/Autopilot was removed because of certain maps that are considered extremely difficult?

For the time being I removed rankability on those two mods, yes. There are some outlier maps which make for silly results.

So, they will be rankable later? Or they will just increace playcount?

If that's the case, are there any plans for changes in no-fail (less multiplier or unranked) as that also makes some stupidly impossible maps an easy top 40.
theowest
So SpunOut is 0,60x now. aight.

The spinning should be faster.
And you should be able to pick what way it should turn. Most players turn the opposite way. :v ok, that doesn't really matter.

From what I've experienced, if you spin along, you're able to add on points.
my bad, you can't. D:

SpunOut should actually be 0.9x. It'll be fixed in the next release.
Mismagius
For the people concerned about their accuracy/playcount:



Stop caring about it.

Take a quick look at what happens if you tick the no-mod scores only option on that map, and other maps like it.

That's just silly when someone says they don't want to rank their score. (:

Still passable w/ easy. Which is probably what I should of specified, every map can be passed without no-fail.

There should be no bonus scores for Spun-Out. :O

Possibly set the AI for Spun-Out to do the lowest possible SPM for it to get a 300 per spinner.
Sure

In addition to this, edit and press F5
Or change its name xD

Then stop the game when you're about to finish the song. Simple as that. (:



On the other hand, shouldn't SpunOut be in the Difficulty Reduction Row? :O
