Code Quality

Framework

Gameplay

Add toggle for solo gameplay leaderboard (#20488 by @nanashi-1)

Eventually we want the leaderboard to be repositionable with more flexibility, but until then, there is now a toggle in settings to allow turning it off.

Flush toast tray on entering gameplay (#20502 by @peppy)

On entering gameplay, notifications will now be immediately hidden to avoid them getting in your way.

I've also adjusted the delay after a no-notification section slightly because I felt it was too sudden with the recent reduction from 1 second.

Adjust leaderboard score panels sizing based on accuracy/combo width (#20564 by @peppy)

Avoids the two numbers colliding

osu.Game.Tests.2022-10-03.at.09.11.51.mp4

Display highest combo rather than current combo for local play on leaderboard (#20547 by @nanashi-1)

20547_1.mp4

Smaller changes

  • Fix leaderboard wobble when in first place (#20518 by @peppy)
  • Fix gameplay sometimes getting stuck before results screen (#20549 by @frenzibyte)
    • Would only happen with storyboard enabled and on some storyboarded beatmaps.
  • Expose flashlight smoothness as uniform (ppy/osu-resources#215 by @smoogipoo)
  • Fix fade being applied for too long when leaderboard scrolls to start (#20519 by @peppy)

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix osu! slider ticks appearing too late (#20477 by @peppy)

Pretty weird one. Slider ticks were always too late on lazer. Like, way too late.

20477.mp4

Add osu! hit object dim (#20572 by @peppy)

osu! stable would dim objects when they can't be hit (ie. the "miss" window is not active yet). This was never implemented in lazer, and causes quite large visual differences.

Few have mentioned this yet, but it will definitely be one of those missing pieces which makes lazer feel different to stable.

20572.mp4

Hide approach circles immediately on successful hit (#20580 by @peppy)

Something was bugging me about argon while testing with actual gameplay recently. Something about the animation made it feel like I wasn't in control. Turns out it was the fact that the approach circle stays visible for 50ms after a hit. This is less noticeable on classic/triangles skins, but an especially uneasy feeling on argon where the hitcircle is scaled inwards at the same time.

Note that as it's only a 50ms fade, this is much more noticeable at >60hz and may not show in the videos below very well.

20580.mp4

Add cursor "smoke" trails (#20376 by @goodtrailer)

The smoke trails are back!!

20376.mp4

Adjust flashlight to more closely match classic scaling (#20566 by @smoogipoo)

This is an accuracy pass on all rulesets to ensure flashlight matches as closely as possible. Note that the gradient still isn't 1:1, but it's much better than how it used to be.

20566.mp4

Smaller changes

  • Fix slider tick colour not being applied properly (#20424 by @peppy)
    • This was actually in the previous hotfix, but didn't show in the changelog. It only affected the new "argon" skin.
  • Use StackedEndPosition instead of EndPosition to determine the jump distance in the FlashlightEvaluator (#20489 by @abstrakt8)
    • Difficulty calculation related.

Gameplay (osu!catch)

Hide osu!catch touch input controls when relax mod is enabled (#20426 by @NullifiedJosh)

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Add "argon" note and stage design for osu!mania (#20601 by @peppy)

Hold note "ticks" are not skinned yet. Weirdly, this doesn't even support legacy skinning as it stands and uses a single visual for all skins.

osu.2022-10-06.at.11.54.59.mp4

Second pass on osu!mania "argon" visuals (#20604 by @peppy)

osu.2022-10-07.at.11.43.56.mp4

Still not 100% happy, but should be quite playable.

Fix osu!mania key / stage lighting / explosions display wrong after rewinding (#20600 by @peppy)

Smaller changes

  • Fix mania hold note head disappearing (#20594 by @ekrctb)
    • A regression that was never seen by users.
  • Add "argon" key area for osu!mania (#20571 by @peppy)
    • This lays the groundwork for the new design to be added in osu!mania.
  • Refactor osu!mania skinning to allow skins to specify column accent colours (#20592 by @peppy)
  • Fix osu!mania not colours not always updating when switching skins (#20602 by @peppy)

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

Fix some "aspire" taiko beatmaps not playing correctly (#20510 by @sw1tchbl4d3r)

This is observable in osu!taiko gimmick ("Aspire"-like) maps that use very high note velocities to make notes near invisble.

Compute lifetime start from entry for scrolling hit objects (#20570 by @ekrctb)

Fixes a long-standing issue where some objects appearing suddenly, later than expected.

Smaller changes

  • Pin osu!taiko PP calculator's accuracy to the classic value (#20585 by @smoogipoo)

Notifications

  • Fix progress notifications being able to be flung (and cancelled) (#20478 by @peppy)
  • Fix update progress notification not closing on completion (#20428 by @frenzibyte)

Performance

Fix editor performance being sub-par on beatmap load (#20501 by @peppy)

Worse for longer beatmaps. Basically every timeline tick for the whole duration of the beatmap was being loaded at startup due to changes in the zoom container logic.

Smaller changes

Reliability

  • Fix off-thread drawable mutation in multiplayer settings overlay when an error occurs (#20419 by @peppy)
  • Fix crash when storyboard attempts to play at main menu (#20417 by @peppy)
  • Fix potential null return to ArrayPool in Waveform (ppy/osu-framework#5428 by @peppy)
  • Fix intermittent leaderboard crash due to request finishing after drawable is disposed (#20418 by @peppy)
  • Move MusicController binds to LoadComplete for added thread safety (#20483 by @peppy)
  • Fix potential crash on game exit due to incorrect scheduling of realm change handler (#20479 by @peppy)
  • Fix potential crash from incorrect drawable mutation in tablet settings display (#20480 by @peppy)
  • Fix rank_history serialisation order dependence (#20498 by @peppy)
  • Fix potential crash when losing network connectivity in multiplayer/playlists screens (#20504 by @peppy)
  • Fix potential crash when attempting to display an imported score at song select (#20567 by @peppy)
  • Silence unobserved exceptions in BeginPlayingInternal (#20582 by @peppy)
  • Fix potential crash when score submission token retrival fails (#20562 by @peppy)

Settings

Always show exclusive fullscreen as available on Intel platforms (ppy/osu-framework#5432 by @smoogipoo)

The detection we had in place was not working well for intel GPUs, making users confused that they were not running in exclusive fullscreen when they actually were.

Change default skin for new installations to "Argon" (#20503 by @peppy)

It's in a good state now, let's make it the default.

Adjust out-of-the-box background dim back down to 70% (#20603 by @peppy)

It was previously bumped from 60% to 80%, but I've recently felt that this is too high as a default, and takes away from storyboards and video backgrounds.

Song Select

Change song select random key binding to not handle key repeat (#20565 by @peppy)

Eventually this will have a better behaviour, but let's fix "ear destroying" for now with the simple fix.
