Was this the case for the whole time

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.

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!

Surprised Xaver is back though, anyways gl!

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

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

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?

what do you guys think?

i feel like this is usually banned

I got this keyboard from Shenzhen as a gift and I feel kinda scammed because of the ghost chattering/getting "rapid triggered" that happens I think no matter my trigger settings but I think it's likely my own skill issue. But I do know I have never heard of this keyboard brand.

To elaborate, I will be playing perfectly fine, tapping extremely lightly and releasing all the way and I will still miss when the 2nd note is stacked on top of the first.

Furthermore, when I play streams, I KNOW I am tapping on beat because my tapping is very perfectly synchronised with the drummer and then randomly I will see hits in the yellow/green regions when my tapping is straight in the blue. It's very frustrating.

I'm very lost on what I should actually set these settings to or if my keyboard itself is a lost cause.

So I came back to Osu! after a few years, really just because of Ohnepixel - it just seemed so ridiculously fun to play watching him. I also think it was nice to see someone freak out over a normal beginner score, like hitting his first 9 pp on a song he liked, not on a map he looked for because it's farmable. Seeing things like that just felt way closer and more related to me, than seeing a video about a new pp record of sorts (which I can now appreciate a lot more tho, like seriously, how do people get that good?). Today I got the notification that my supporter ran out, which I just got for the name change, however I gladly remewed it now. I really didn't expect to have this much fun playing Osu!, especially since I don't really play any rythm games. I feel like the pp system is also very well made, despite not always feeling perfect. It's really nice to try and look for maps and I didn't think there'd be this many mapping styles. I can't name them to save my life, but there's so much variation in how maps can be played and feel. The only thing I really don't like I suppose is how hard it is to find songs I enjoy. Is there a way to filter by map styles or find specific styles? I really feel like maybe half of the maps I download are actually playable for me at the 3.5-4* level I am currently at, the others are just things I am weirdly unfamiliar with and aren't fun for me. But that's really about it, thus far, this has been simply extremely fun and I'll definitely stay to play more :)

I have a few questions about this game: why is it that, for some songs, my score ends up lower when I hit a "high" note compared to when I hit a "low" note? Also, what do the numbers 50 and 100 mean when I click on a note? Does 50 appear because I clicked too quickly—or too early—on the note? And does 100 mean I hit it at the perfect time, or is it because I clicked too late?
