A few notes: if you want to use external tablet drivers, you want to disable high precision mouse. I would recommend using the in-game tablet settings if you don't need filters or smoothing, as it can have less input latency. The skin editor moving elements around is fixed by choosing proper anchors and origins, it takes a bit of practice but for me it's intuitive now. I would also recommend setting UI scaling to 0.8x, it makes song select a lot less crowded on desktop, but it will also scale skin elements so be aware of that

2:23 ...or y'know... press the button that says "osu!" on the left

i watched this and now lazer is my primary client

ppy: try to make lazer as different to stable as possible players: try to make lazer as similar to stable as possible😂

You're using "Top Center" anchor for HP bar, of course it will bound to center in that case Use "Top Left" if you want for HP bar to behave like Avatar and others

Love this video, I'm glad Lazer is having more visibility among users

Just saw you responding to every comment, that's cool. I've switched to lazer quite time ago, what I felt at first without changing any settings is that game felt much better than stable. This combined with tons of cool features like playlist and multi spectating really made my wanna fully swith to lazer. I'll also try changing my settings to see if I can make everything better. Thank you

1:23 any lag due to where you install lazer would either be due to the import process itself (after it's finished there should be no difference), or due to latencies associated with the drive you're installing on (e.g. an internal ssd will be faster than a usb drive) 3:53 while inputs are always processed at 1000 hz, vsync will add some visual latency (as you mention). if you hate screen tearing, vsync fixes that. if your monitor supports gsync or freesync, you likely don't need vsync as they're supposed to fix tearing issues 6:14 i applaud you for showing off the skin editor and the neat things you can do with it, but it's also clear that no one knows how anchors and origins work

I started my osu! journey on lazer, been playing actively on it since April 2021, and you still managed to make me learn that you can hide the top bar with Ctrl+T.

2:29 you can click on osu on the left sub menu to scroll directly to there. it doesnt make much sense from a ux perspective to have the game mode specific controls before the global controls, especially since osu supports dozens of community made game modes which all have their controls listed here

I love how even the imperfect parts allow you to work around them, albeit in janky ways.

As someone that has used Lazer for ages, im so glad so many people here are giving it a try, and seeing how they enjoy it, and what they dislike about it.

I've been using lazer for a year now and I really really like it (i don't use stable anymore). I don't care so much about pp so i was enjoying it a lot. Now there is pp, but I will continue playing exactly as I have been playing before. There are still some things to improve, but I still find it more entertaining. I hope there will be a day when everyone will switch to lazer because it is worth all the effort that ppy is putting in. c:

Thank you SO MUCH! Finally able to play lazer without lag :)

i would agree with you if osu lazer wouldn't be unusable for the most part. directx on my pc did never have audio bugs for me, but i constantly having input lag which is just as i mentioned not playable. i made a video as well but what i only did was to switch to opengl which is curently the most accurate stable experience (or just wait till the game will be actually finished). if my knowlage is correct, osu used opengl by default anyways and directx was the compatibility mode.

Thanks for the guide helped me get into lazer :D

hey man! this is pretty useful, but i noticed you didnt include a section for the editor. i know there arent many configurations aside from a few hotkeys so i wanna ask, is there any chance i can make a solid full map on the lazer map editor? i would like to explore its features but ove only seen some comments indicating the contrary but from a few years ago. maybe now its bearable? i dont know, you tell me.

i don't use the visual elements for gameplay because it feels really more clean during the gameplay, you can disable the visual elements in-game by or pressing shift+tab or in the options skin. (and a really good hint, if you wanna paly in half-time, play with daycore, is much more better and the music dosen't feel broken)

wonder why my fps locked at 700 even if i use unlimited or 8x refresh rate

Do you have any recommended tablet to use for osu lazer? Im returning player and i feel my current tablet is out dated so im considering on purchasing a new tablet .

Great vid, well explained to make the game feel good:)

7:11 You can fix the positioning issues by setting both the Anchor and Origin to Top left (that also includes the related elements like the Profile pic, name, and flag). Basically making the skin dynamically positioned based on the game's aspect ratio. It sure does take a while to learn lazer skinning.

does anyone know why whenever i get to a kiai in a song all the hit circles start to glow its really annoying and distracting

My mouse sens feels really weird on Lazer, hopefully i can fix it but as of now it's unplayable

there are still some things that annoy me like the loading time when when clicking a song, its probably the same length as stables loading time but feels longer(and if you retry a map is def takes a lot longer to load), and after a recent update my instafade skin does not work the 100s and 50s disapper in like 1ms and i cant see if i only got one 100 or the whole stream was 100s lol. And all the features are good but not worth changing your whole client over if you just want to enjoy the game from time to time. If you are someone who is trying to grind skill then lazer makes more sense for the rate edit and difficulty adjust stuff. If someting is not broken dont fix it, look at the features lazer has if you need them a lot then switch, if you are happy with stable then i see no reason to go out of your way to switch. also there are a lot of execuses to not play lazer like how the song select is kinda goofy they could have done it better but the bigger issue is performance as it barely gets to my monitors refresh rate, and after pressing f2 it takes a good 500ms to actually change the audio and load the song backgound.

My biggest thing, is that w/ lazer. Why did they make the difficulty sorting not like in stable. I want my diff folders!

even though ive used lazer quite a few times before some of these really made the game feel more natural

i play mania and no way am i changing to lazer ever

wrong video ig, but im new this thing; so how do I add breaks in osu!catch :')

why is my "update" stuck at 300 fps and my "draw" at 150? edit: oh it was because my monitor is 75 hz and i had vsync if i play with unlimited framerate i get 1 ms but there is no point because the important thing is the input not the update or draw

i don't know why but with dx11 my fps is locked to 60, so i forced to play with ogl but i don't complain

This should be made official and pinned by peppy in the osu! homepage so everyone transitions!

This helpt me so much, thank you ❤❤❤

bro i have every single song u played in this video what a coincidence 💀

life saver i hate change but i love progress

Hello, So I'm having an issue with osu!Lazer, I'm trying since 3 days to find a way to fix it. So here's the problem : I have the habbit to play on my laptop and since 1 week or something when I'm in game for more than 40 sec, my game become laggy. I saw on the FPS meter that it was the the draw FPS (idk what it means lol). And so to fall of 120 fps to 60 gives an impression of HIGH LAG. I was searching on many online forum some way to just fit it, so I tried : - Change the setting on NVIDIA panel the low latency mode on Ultra, didn't work - Same for the Vertical Sync on off didn't change anything - I changed the rendering engine, same prob - Tried for unlimited FPS or Vsynch but same effect - Singlethreaded don't help too - Empty the cache ... - I even tried to put it on administrator mode, I mean ... So here's more detail on my config : - My graphic card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti - I'm playing on fullscreen, obviously - As I said, I play on a laptop and it's a Lenovo Legion Y540 so I don't think it's a performance problem lol, and I have still a lot of memory on it. So, if someone have the kidness to give some tips or give me a solution for this type of issue, this will definitely make my day. Thank you if you just read all my comment :))).

As a mouse player, I can recommend turning off High Precision Mouse, because it is sometimes glitchy for me, because I also play VALORANT and there, I got the tipp to turn off Mouse Acceleration in the Windows settings as this is more reliable than the Osu one

I don't know if anyone else has this problem or if it's just me, but Lazer seems to shuffle the order of maps when I sort by "Date Added" (how I sort literally all the time). If anyone has a fix for this, please let me know, it's the only thing keeping me from switching to Lazer.

3:18 It's mainly for compatibility with older hardware.

what about song select? How do you get it to act like stable and not have the songs grouped together

if i disable the "tablet" option my tablet won't work at all in the game it's like the game doesn't allow the cursor to be inside or something (i use the oiriginal intuos drivers which work perfectly)

7:42 i havent played osu in about 2/3 years, i can confirm i wouldve believed it was a skin or an update

HES BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

my osu lazer when i play multi player and start match it kicks me out the match what i do?

Gonna try this someday. I play with 200ish fps on stable and 30fps on lazer like a year ago

I play with hud off and currently in laser i cant (to my knowledge) have the hit error bar to always be present, it switches off alongside the other hud elements which is a massive dealbreaker for me, peppy's been saying this is gonna be added "soon" since 2021...

idk why but everytime i hit a triple it just misses on the third note, i just do i it the same as in stable but it just misses anyways. idk why.

How do i make sure that lazer finished importing all data before clearing all cache?

thanks gang

Must have video for me bro tysm

I do have the problem that as soon as I touch my tablet with my pencil it recognizes everything as a click and my pencil stops working even while hovering, does anybody have the same issues or a solution for this?

2:18 you can just click the mode icon on the left and it'll take you to its keybinds ^^)b

I know it’s not their priority to make lazer look anything like stable but one of my biggest ‘issues’ with lazer is the song selection screen. There are other places where your old skin doesn’t really work but the song selection screen looks disgusting imo.

8:29 i like the bar! it helps change gamemodes fast (for me) and I can get to menus easier lol

i cant find any solution to my cursor accelerating, I'm playing on tablet and i tried everything to fix that and nothing worked and its unplayable with that smoothness, pls help someone

You mean to tell me all of my problems are because lazer decided to download in a different folder? Jfc I went through so much bs for no reason.

I would enjoy Lazer, but I'm a low end player and my performance on Lazer is really just not optimal.

BANGER VIDEO!!!!!!!!

You don't have to scroll down in the settings.. you can literally just click the "osu!" tab

please do not recommend users to increase the frame limiter, it serves absolutely no purpose edit: sorry, just saw the thumbnail, now that i watched the video is actually fine ty for not telling users that

dang that taken long

my laptop is so old i have to set the renderer to opengl legacy lul

osu!lazer always felt way more responsive for my system anyway, just had a lot of stutters. Going back to stable was always a pain. Now with most major performance issues fixed I just can't go back. Pp resets or not, I will stubbornly keep playing lazer. Song search is still a pain though, but I have 100k beatmaps so ofc it lags out.

banger

normally I get under 1ms around 0.3 to 0.5 in osu! but in lazer it doesn't go bellow 1 is this how it's suppose to be because it feels different and Im pretty sure its making me play worse

6:45 - you've got spammed with it i believe, but that's not a bug but incorrect anchor point

please do not use Vsync, any other option is fine just not that

Im switching to lazer now

im 4 (been using for a while with no complaints)

Bruh I didn't even know that 400Hz monitors are a thing

i wish i had a 120 hz moniter it look so smooth >:(

thank you so much

This works for my potato laptop?

Will we one day have to change to laser? cuz i really didnt like lazer

I followed the steps and... I got 19-38 fps on 800 x 600 on the menu and the options, playing a song it's uncomfortable since it runs 10-27 fps (i tested it on intuition in lami's hard)

2:53 use ctrl+H instead

wait, are you telling me that i can play all my osu songs in lazer without having to duplicate them?

Just like before! Only 3x the old delay!

iam stuck o stable until mrekk gonna switch

lazer still wont let me letterbox my game properly so its basically unplayable for me since it feels so off

More than a year ago I tried Lazer and it seemed different, I'm going to download it again and do it. Also, why did peppy made lazer instead of modifying osu? (I'm lost)

keep stuttering with AMD setup 😔

Astesia

Default on mobile?

ty ty

400hz monitor what????

I'm neither of the three guys from the intro. I'm the fourth guy who tried lazer, enjoyed it, configured it right, got better performance, didn't care about pp more than the improved experience and had a lot of fun coming to an improved version of osu!. One weird thing tho: yesterday I got a first place score on a 2.5 star mania map because the old scores have a x0.96 multiplier which makes no sense for mania. The balance isn't there yet and peppy has a lot left to do.

I feel like you kinda rushed the tutorial for yourself too fast because in the settings there is a bookmark in the configure tab on the left you can click and it'll take you to that sections keybinds. 2:30

I am the 4th, I have exclusively played Lazer for the past year and have never played stablr

did that file say torrents🤨📸

good video heres a sub lol

did the thumbnail change

No way I change to lazer as osu!mania player Input lag are good but update lag are 8-9ms on my laptop instead of 2-3ms on stable. And awful framerate of course I am should upgrade my setup for it but I'm broke :)

Juro que pensé que era gringo hasta que vi la bandera de Uruguay jajaj

if only they made the skin import actually work and import everything correctly. Editing skins in lazer is a nightmare if you wish to make the skin look exactly like you had from stable

Honestly, as a long-time Lazer user myself (since 2017), I already kinda forgot that osu!stable is a thing lol (no offence, I'm using Linux so Lazer is only my option) For anyone just coming here to look by, I personally would recommend new players to try out the new default because it's really made for new players. It's just so much better especially if you play the game outside Windows PC.

lazer is still shit i rather play with 0.25 ms rather than 1 ms and everytime i play my ms goes from like 1 to 2 in the hard parts of the map for some reason, i did everything in the video aswell. fuck lazer

lazer bugged my account i got 400 pp after download and rose 50k ranks

taiko without unlimited fps is so unplayable visually on high SV (just like mania), it's just funny how they only are caring about std fps wise. and in std even with a lot of optimizations I can't seem to perform well, I played one hour a map to get a #1 and I got #15 at best (even with classic mod), then I played stable and got #1 second try

oh but there is a reason to not install this. I dont want to add 10+gb of useless hard links to my main ssd and completelt bloat it.
