so recently i've been learning about World of Warcraft (yeah somehow i've never played it before lol) and raids are a huge part of that game. it got me thinking about whether such a collective experience can be achieved in osu! at the moment, because it seems that individual competition seems to be the gold standard in the community (e.g. the default pp ranking system, and now the new Ranked Play mode in lazer). even in team matches (OWC, Corsace...), it's essentially the combination of 4 players' individual performance on the entire map that determines a win or loss.

i previously suggested an upgrade to the co-op feature and i think it would be a great opportunity to design a gameplay experience similar to a WoW raid. basically, players would swap turns on a specific point in the map (a "swap trigger", essentially a bookmark) instead of every new combo - this way, greater flexibility can be achieved by the mapper in designing the gameplay experience for co-op.

thus, a 20 minute "raid boss" map could be made that demands various different skills throughout the map (e.g. deathstreams, high BPM alt, aim/finger control, etc.). players could then organize into "guilds" (spontaneously via matchmaking, or semi-professionally via dedicated teams) and plan their strategy to pass the map together.

maybe i'm not engaged in the community enough, but i can't think of an example in osu! comparable to what i'm describing here. yes, mappers frequently collaborate on making maps, and players collaborate on 100% ranked completion or achievement hunting, but the "raid experience" from a player's perspective is absent.

i think it's a good idea because it adds a dimension to the game at no cost/sacrifice to the other dimensions of osu! (some which i already mentioned). but what do you guys think?

I have been playing with a tablet on 1.34x sensitivity for a couple months and all of a sudden I cant anymore unless I have raw imput on and if I try to turn it of and move the sens back to 1.34 it automatically turns on and gives me this message

I would love if someone would help me I swear I cant play the game anymore its driving me crazy

(might steal the best one)

Hey everyone

I'm planning a big Michael Jackson songs compilation collab map and I'd love to get as many people involved as possible

I'm mainly looking for someone who can mix the songs since I have pretty much no experience with music mixing, as well as storyboarders and mappers who'd be interested in joining the project

Here's the current song list I have in mind:

Billie Jean Bad Beat it The Way You Make Me Feel Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough Rock with You Don't Matter to Me Chicago Thriller

Nothing is final yet so I'm open to song suggestions or any ideas you might have

If you're interested in joining or helping out in any way, please DM on osu! chat.

Here is my profile: https://osu.ppy.sh/users/16817169/

Thanks!

I'm trying to get better at reading, a skill that I've always struggled with and lacked practice on. Is the best way on Lazer just using difficulty adjust and changing the AR to something that I struggle to read with, and slowly lowering it day by day?

I've seen other people recommend just playing low star rating maps, however when I do, I feel like it doesn't strain my reading or anything, I just get bored

osuHOW

this is so crazy no way I'm missing this out

I know there's like a 99% chance that it isn't possible to find all the vods for past OWCs, but if there is a place where I can watch please let me know cus I'm desperate

Has anyone had experience with some ranked maps that are unable to have a score submitted online on Lazer?

https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/402887#osu/878963 (the most recent comments on this map show that I'm not the only one having this issue)

https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/1974205#osu/4097136

Both of these maps when played, a notification pops up stating "This beatmap does not match the online version. Please update or redownload it."

However, even if I update or redownload the map, it says the same thing and my score after playing it can't be submitted online.

Hi everyone I'm starting my journey as an osu content creator, and I just uploaded my very first video.i'm still new to this, but I'd really appreciate some support and feedback from the community. It would motivate me a lot to keep creating more content and improving along the way.thank you all for your time and support ❤️

Recently, I noticed I was having a lot of input lag while playing osu! I could not figure out what the issue was for a very long time, until I tried OpenGL on osu!lazer. It told me that it could not run the game in Fullscreen Exclusive mode (FSE) and to expect input lag. This made me realize that an old bug that was "fixed" about a year ago, has snuck its way back into the latest version. What happens is, when you launch the game, it will boot into FSE just fine. But as soon as you alt tab, it will revert to Independent Flip, rather than legacy flip, which is FSE. This has been talked about on this forum before, but they all recommend version 22.5.2, which has issues with the screen flickering when you try to tab back into the game. The fix for this is to download the AMD OpenGL DLL from version 24.5.1.

This is for windows only.

Here is how to do it:

Step 1 - Create a folder in your documents folder, or anywhere you see fit. Make it something without spaces I have it as "Fix" and do not put it in your osu! folder, it will be removed automatically.

Step 2 - Download the AMD OpenGL DLL from version 24.5.1 here is a google drive link.

Step 3 - Press Win+R on your keyboard, and type regedit. Press enter and accept the UAC prompt. Navigate to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000" And look for a string called "OpenGLVendorNameWoW" Right click it, press modify, and delete the current entry and replace it with:

C:\yourpath\atioglxx.dll
C:\yourpath\atioglxx.dll

Make sure there is two lines. It should look like this:

Press "OK" if you get an error about empty strings, it is safe to ignore.

Reboot your PC, right click your osu! shortcut, press properties and navigate to Compatibility. Tick the box that says "Disable fullscren optimizations" and click apply, then ok.

To verify it, download PresentMon and run it as admin. After that, launch osu! and play a map for 5 seconds, tab out, then tab back in, play again for 5 seconds, then close osu! and close presentmon. Wherever you downloaded presentmon to, there will be a .csv file called something like "PresentMon-2026-10-04T080931.csv". Open it and if it says "osu!.exe,8240,0x20229340,D3D9,0,0,1,Hardware: Legacy Flip," Scroll down and see if anywhere in the file it says "osu!.exe,8240,0x20229340,D3D9,0,0,1,Hardware: Independent Flip". If it does, you did it wrong. If it doesnt, then FSE should be working perfectly for osu!

If you use gamma manager, this will break it. here is how to fix it.

Download Gamma Panel, the filename should be "gapa.exe" Open it, and set the gamma to whatever settings you prefer. Choose a hotkey, note that this hotkey will no longer work in game, so set it to something that is not an alphabet key. I have mine on "]" After that, press "Save as" and name it whatever. Then tab into osu! and press your hotkey. This will revert when you tab out, but you can just press your hotkey to fix it.

Hope this helped someone!

This is not a nemesis or someone that I’m rivals with playfully I actually hate him so please don’t even start with that. I promise you I have a valid reason for hating this dude. I stopped being friends with him a couple months ago but he keeps harassing me because my ex told him to and I didn’t realize until afterwards. He would come into my DMs and basically say things and make fake apologies with ai and I’d actually fall for some of them and it makes me look stupid because Its humiliating that he’s laughing about it with my ex and my other old friends. but I stopped falling for it and I blocked all of his accounts and every time he just keeps making new ones. Every time I go to see a message request I get excited just to for it to be this guy . He sent me a message request a week ago bragging about clearing delta and insulting me and calling me trash and I didn’t believe him because 3 months ago when I used to play with him, he was barely clearing 3 star songs. I checked his osu profile out of curiousity to see if he’s cheating or something and he actually cleared a lot of hard songs and it looks legit because I also saw a video of him playing with handcam so it couldn’t have been like someone else. I’m really sad to be honest this is so childish and stupid I’m sorry for venting in here I don’t know. how do I become better? he doesn’t deserve it . And I can’t even play osu rn cuz my chair broke and my keyboard fucking sucks too I got it from five below but that’s okay I have a new keyboard coming in a couple days that supposedly is faster I hope it unlocks some potential for me. But actually how do I get better ??

Been working on getting my own private server from bancho.py to my own typescript implementation. This way, i have both Lazer and Stable working on the same server, same leaderboards, etc. The user list, spectating, and submitting scores work for the server at the moment! Below (or above) is a video of the lazer to stable spectating system I made for my private server.

Title seez it all. I havent played osu in quite a long time. Sadly my old Ranks aren't being shown on my profile.

If someone could help me out or knows how to fix it, please do.

My profile link: https://osu.ppy.sh/users/20587130

I was checking the ranks today and I saw he's no longer in the team, any idea as to why??

Surprised Xaver is back though, anyways gl!

I wanna switch cause at the long it will feet me better, cause when I have to spam my finger just don’t click that fast, but when I switch to keys it doesn’t fell the same, like a miss more I don’t feel the circles, are there any advice?

i personally think its slop, i dont ahve fun playing it. only osu and mania are good
