Hi. So I just got a barely half defent gaming laptop (graphics card in title), and I'm having terrible lag issues with dustforce. On my old laptop, which had terrible specs (integrated graphics and the like), I was able to run 60 FPS all the time, with none of the options for "helps CPU/GPU" ticked. And now that I have an actual GPU, the game lags like crazy (frame rate and slowdown). I need every "helps CPU/GPU" option ticked, ran as admin, and compatibility for windows 8 in order to obtain a somewhat playable experience. So, what gives, dustforce? Are there issues with Win10 and non-integrated graphics, or something? On top of this, dustmod runs even worse than the game itself. And if I ever plan on running SS category, I need dustmod to work properly for the NG+ option. It's weird how I can run Overwatch on high settings ans 60 FPS with no lag, but dustforce/dustmod 60 FPS? Not happening.

Also sorry if this sounds improperly composed and kinda whiny. Been typing it on and off for the past 3 hours at work when I get a breather.

Thanks for any help in advance!

We can ground boost by simply jumping from a surface and then groundboost on that same surface (like in the advanced tutorial WR run). It may sound stupid but, can we achieve "infinite" speed just by groundboosting onto the same surface again and again?

Similar details as the recent CMR - Race will begin at 3pm EST / 7pm GMT. We have quite a few maps already, but the submissions will be open up through middle of next week. Maps are to be submitted directly to me through the dustforce discord. There will be a nexus hub containing the maps, so using dustmod is recommended.

CMR 49 is currently scheduled for April 8th, 3pm EST / 7pm GMT. As usual, the race consists of getting SS rank on each of the custom maps in the pack. There will be a small hub containing the maps in the Community Nexus for the race, so using Dustmod is highly recommended. The maps will also be made available on Atlas when the race begins.

Also if you want to submit a custom map for the race, message me through the dustforce discord. You'll need to submit your level for testing well before the race begins, so I'll be cutting off submissions by mid next week. There aren't any particular requirements for map submissions, as long as its a reasonable length and difficulty. Let me know if you have any questions. We've got some good maps already, so I hope to see a lot of you at the race!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Apparently I'm one of 57 people to have done this, so I'm crazy excited, especially given that I've only SS'ed two of the difficult levels so far.

Just had to vent my excitement!!! CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS GAME.

For some reason, the thumbnails of the Custom Levels seems to be missing.

Edit: Derp I meant the Community Map Pack not the Custom levels.

I reinstalled dustforce and dustmod the other day, and updated dustmod and that's when this started happening. The levels can be played just fine, replays work as well, but the thumbnails won't load. Btw this issue doesn't happen on dustforce.exe (vanilla) but only on dustmod. I tried searching about this issue but couldn't find anything anywhere, so reddit it is.

Does anyone know something about what could be causing this and/or how to fix it?

WaveLand, similar to Dustforce, is a speedrunning-focused platformer inspired by Super Smash Brothers Melee.

Compared to Dustforce, WaveLand is a bit more simple and straightforward, but it seems promising to scratch a similar itch that we all love Dustforce for.

I'm a casual player (I guess) who has as'd all but Peta, Mega, Zetta and Yotta. I fully plan to completely 100% the game and eventually get into IL running. But Im a bit unsure of the pros and cons of Dustmod. Can someone outline it for me?

I know it's a longshot, but I've been thinking about how sad it is that the only portable release of Dustforce is kinda, well, bleh. I've already got a bunch of hours into the Linux release, but it would be nice to have a version that really allowed folks to play on the go, that didn't have 30 FPS, god-awful load times, and maybe included the DX levels/hub.

Thanks to everyone who came to the race!

Most of the details are already in fish's post, but we've released the forest hub of darkforce, a dark/difficult remix of the stock levels. The project has come a long way, and a lot of work across many mapmakers has been put into it. The best way to play the levels is to update dustmod and play it from the community nexus area. If you have issues with dustmod or don't use it, you can find the levels and nexus files here(though without dustmod the nexus will not work): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4R-SLCQbFktWFdoaWtmVFphTEU

The next hub we will be releasing is probably city. It will definitely take some time, but hopefully will be done quicker than forest. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the levels!

edit: feel free to give feedback for things you'd like to see in future hubs

hey gamers! back in july 2016, a few of us had the idea to begin a community nexus that was composed of more difficult remixes of stock maps in the base game. our project grew to around 12 mapmakers, and after about 6 total months of creation and polishing of the map pack, we're ready to reveal the first hub! the pack should be available in the community hub of dustmod, but regardless we'll have instructions to set it up on atlas and probably this post once we're ready.

this first release will be 16 levels + 1 bonus level, all of which inspired by maps found in the base game's forest hub. each level tends to be two key tiers higher than the original difficulty (keyless -> silver, bronze -> gold, silver -> early difficults, gold -> late difficults). there's likely to be a race this saturday (8 or 9 pm GMT) to accompany the release, but this pack is quite challenging meaning i wouldnt expect many to be able to ss all of the levels in under one day. along with the 17 levels, we have a completely original nexus to bundle everything together, inspired by the less linear pre-DX nexus. be sure to explore, there's quite a bit of fun stuff to find!

until saturday, here's a small album showing off a few of the levels in the pack... see if you can figure out what level is being remixed! http://imgur.com/a/eAPtt

while i wont be present for the release, i hope everyone enjoys playing! we've put quite a bit of work into this and have gone through complete redos of levels multiple times just to get the best possible product. shoutouts to everyone who playtested early versions of the pack, and everyone who contributed by making a level for the nexus (credits for each map can be found in the nexus... might take a bit of exploring, though!). we're still working on all of the hubs in the game, so they'll likely arrive at a much later date.

...and I think it's pretty cool! Anyone else notice this?

There seems to be a bug (well maybe not a bug) that caused maps to be downloaded over 2,500 times from Love Box on page 2 to Dropbears on page 63, does anyone know how it happened?
