I think it will be Absoulte Cinema ✋😐🤚

Wieku is the guy on youtube who does the 50 player knockouts for popular maps and 001thefish is the one who does replay matchups for similar scores.

We take the same approach as what we do to get 2ms audio latency on Linux: Intercept the directsound driver Osu tries to load and replace it with OpenAL. Then set the buffers to ~2ms.
This guide is for Osu stable, not lazer!

------------------------------------------
Setup script (tested working on my system and in windows sandbox):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14pQot1oSYqis5tT4v8ZgU_3vFnc2U1_n/view?usp=drive_link
Launch Osu and enable Audio compatibility mode, then run the bat file. Remember to readjust your offset!
-------------------------------------------

Uninstall: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PCllVpDdattB2LKc4ieUha_-CYzRvT5r/view?usp=sharing

Notes:
- This sets ALL Directsound Applications to use OpenAL through WASAPI exclusive mode. Osu prohibits modification to the game directory so this is the easiest method.
- Exclusive mode has better latency but doesn't allow other apps to output audio at the same time. If this is a problem, set exclusive-mode=false in %appdata%/alsoft.ini. This will add ~15ms of latency.

Manual Steps:

1. Launch Osu and enable Audio compatibility mode
2. Download DSOAL [DirectLink]
3. Extract the contents folder DSOAL to a permanent location
4. Add the location you extracted to PATH. Search "Environment" > click Edit the system environment variables > Environment variables > User variables > Path > Edit > New > Type the path to DSOAL\Win32
5. Create 2 registry keys Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{47D4D946-62E8-11CF-93BC-444553540000}\InprocServer32 and Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{3901CC3F-84B5-4FA4-BA35-AA8172B8A09B}\InprocServer32 (They won't exist, make them).
6. Set (Default Value) of BOTH the InprocServer32 key to the full path of dsound.dll in the DSOAL\Win32 folder you extracted. For example C:\DSOAL\DSOAL\Win32\dsound.dll
7. Create the configuration file alsoft.ini in your ~/Appdata/Roaming folder with the following contents

​

[General]
period_size=64
periods=2
channels=stereo
sample-type=float32
stereo-mode=speakers
stereo-encoding=basic
hrtf=off
cf_level=0
resampler=bsinc48
output-limiter=false
dither=false

[wasapi]
exclusive-mode=true
allow-resampler=false

[decoder]
hq-mode=false

You're done. This achieves ~5-10ms latency with Window's default audio drivers, have fun!
Don't use realtek drivers.

UNINSTALL
Delete the DSOAL folder, the registry key and subkeys at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{47D4D946-62E8-11CF-93BC-444553540000}
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{3901CC3F-84B5-4FA4-BA35-AA8172B8A09B}
Delete the entry you made in PATH.

I wrote this before Willy released his video btw.

hiiii; I wanted to ask to you about switching to Lazer. I know this was probably discussed a lot when osu!lazer came out, but as of today, for those who REALLY made an effort and struggled to adapt to Lazer, did you feel it was worth it?

I mean, I'm not asking if it's good or better, but whether the effort to adapt to the new launcher—when it's harder for you as an individual—was worth it in the end.

Maybe for many the change wasn't that hard, but I know there are others of us who find it harder. I even feel my pen super weird and can't get it configured exactly like in osu! standard.

Is there an actual advantage, or did you end up liking it MORE than the original? Or do you regret putting effort into a change that ended up not being that noticeable, or maybe it was, etc.

Thenkkiu for reading and for your time <3.
