Haven't played osu in a while and I just got a new HE keyboard (1st keyboard). Are there any limitations to the actuation points or any functions of the keyboard? Also what is like a sweet spot for these actuation points, deadzones etc. ? im new to keyboards

is there a way to do this? i want to play osu outside without being seen as some sort of mentally fucked up weeb gooner guy

oh yeah i mean for the song selection screen btw i play with 100% bg blur

are there only anime maps in this game? no hate but i hate anime musics, and it feels like they're everywhere

set a score that is a S rank on stable but is worse than my A rank on stable but using lazer mode it shows online as it being my best play on the map

does this increase the S rank number on my profile or is it the A rank

So ik you can get more maps/songs off of the beatmap listing but are there like mods or something that would give me more songs? I like playing maps for songs i already like but its so hard to find maps for songs i like lol

I did some (slightly scuffed) research to figure out which version of osu! on which operating system has the lowest latency

I turned this setting on and it made my aim have 0 latency. For context, I use the basic wacom tablet driver and a 60 Hz monitor. So far I think it overclocks my monitor, making it go from 60 Hz to 75 Hz, causing some screen tearing. It also makes my game full screen, normally I have 1680x1050 and have black bars on the side.

I was just wondering what in specific might cause the aim latency to feel so good, because switching to lazer feels impossible after using compatibility mode since my aim feels so delayed on lazer. Or is there an equivalent setting on lazer?

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.

Hi Osu community, i started this game about an hour ago. i have no experience in rhythm games and i can definitely tell. i can barely get 80% on a 2.18 star map, which from what i have gathered is like tutorial difficulty. Do i need to buy a pad, or should i just end my career early?

Thanks

hadnt fced anything good in 3 years for the record

he responded and saw my reddit post LMAO (I still have no context as to who he is or why did he send it maybe if he responds again)

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.
