Platform

• Upgrade to SDL3 (ppy/osu-framework#6234 by @Susko3)
  • osu! changes: https://github.com/ppy/osu/compare/master...Susko3:osu:wip-SDL3?expand=1

######## Changes

• (SDL3-CS) from namespace SDL2 & class SDL to namespace SDL & class SDL3 (made more sense as the functions are imported from SDL3.dll)
• (SDL3-CS) structs and enums now live in the namespace instead of being nested in the SDL3 class
• (SDL3-CS) pointer types are now proper pointers instead of IntPtr, which means more "unsafe" code
• (SDL3-CS) minor changes to return/struct types, reducing need for casts
• (SDL3-CS) simple function signature changes: from ref, in & out to pointers (unfortunate, but automatically generating these would be hell)
• (SDL3-CS) function that take strings now take ReadOnlySpan<byte>, requiring Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes() calls or UTF-8 string literals
• (SDL3-CS) function pointers instead of delegates in native callback functions
• simple renames done via SDL-provided build-scripits/rename_symbols.py
• migrations from the Migrating to SDL 3.0 guide
• minor update of SDL3ControllerBindings logic (basically per SDL3 migration guide)
• removal of borderless fullscreen on macOS and Linux (merged into fullscreen with SDL3)
• updated windowing logic to account for SDL_DisplayID instead of previously used display index
• osu!framework DisplayMode.RefreshRate changed from int to float
• SDL relative mouse mode instead of custom WindowsMouseHandler mouse logic including removal of custom tablet handling logic. SDL_pen.h would be the replacement for that, but it's currently only supported on Linux
• updated WindowsWindow to account for SDL_SYSWMEVENT removal has caused some minor regressions in IME handling (the new method isn't giving us all the expected messages)
• updated JetBrains.Annotations to latest version
• renamed SDL2 → SDL3

######## Issues

• IOpenGLGraphicsSurface.BackbufferFramebuffer used to return useful information on iOS
• waiting un upstream: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/9430
• OpenGL probably won't work on iOS?
• minor IME regressions on windows
• releasing mouse button outside window with relative mouse mode causes next click to be ignored (SDL issue, it seems)
• (possible issue) non-OTD tablet input with relative mouse mode on windows (WindowsMouseHandler logic was removed)

######## Future work

• add full support for async raw mouse + keyboard on windows #6235
• look into windows IME regressions (and maybe switch to SDL IME events)
• update my currently open PRs to SDL3 (when I feel like it)

######## Testing

I've tested mouse, keyboard

Reliability

Attempt to disable custom rulesets that can be linked to an unhandled crash (ppy/osu#27698 by @bdach)

After seeing yet another report of this something in me broke and I decided I have had enough of it.

What this does is that when the game is dying, it will hand off the exception to RulesetStore for a last-ditch inspection. RulesetStore will walk the call stack, and check if any ruleset has been involved in the trash fire. If it finds one, it banishes it to the blagole by renaming the dll to something that won't match the dll pattern (namely by attaching a .broken faux-extension suffix to the filename).

On launch, the game checks for .dll.broken ruleset files in the rulesets directory, and raises a notification for every single one that it finds to let the users know. And yes it will do that on every startup. I don't much care at this point (partially because I don't even know if reviewers will accept the starting premise of this - if they will I am willing to put some more work into this).

Smaller changes

• Warn about not using an official "deployed" build (ppy/osu#27681 by @smoogipoo)
  • Some package managers (e.g. the AUR) may choose to build "deployed" game packages from tags, attaching the true game version to the built assembly (e.g. 2024.312.0). This PR allows an attribute to be attached that indicates whether this is an officially sanctioned build, and displays a notification if not.
• Fix double binding causing game crash after API enters failing state (ppy/osu#27754 by @peppy)
• Fix possible crash due to race in DiscordRichPresence (ppy/osu#27810 by @smoogipoo)
  • Encountered by chance:

As far as I can tell the failure path looks something like this:

• OsuGameBase.load() -> loads APIAccess
• APIAccess will begin receiving Update()s immediately upon game's LoadComplete
• OsuGameDesktop.LoadComplete() -> begins async load of DiscordRichPresence
• DiscordRichPresence.load() -> binds event with runOnceImmediately.
• At some point APIAccess updates the user object (from the update thread), creating a race condition between it and the runOnceImmediately above.

Gameplay

Make flashlight scale with playfield (ppy/osu#26181 by @rushiiMachine)

When the playfield is shrunk with mods such as BarrelRoll, flashlight does not account for this, making it significantly easier to play. This makes it scale along with the playfield Scale.

Avoid stopping / starting gameplay when running behind but a replay isn't attached (ppy/osu#27504 by @peppy)

Should fix the underlying issue causing the backwards seeks during gameplay.

Add "Argon" performance points counter (ppy/osu#27498 by @frenzibyte)

Add new hitsounds for "argon" skin (ppy/osu-resources#311 by @nekodex)

My primary goal with this sampleset is to offer a fresh, modern take on stable/legacy's hitsounds that would work as a drop-in replacement for beatmaps that were created with stable/legacy's sampleset in mind.

I've used reverb and increased stereo width to make the hitsounds less 'in your face' than the stable/legacy ones, making them more pleasant to the ear IMO. To compensate for potential audibility loss, I've used increased transients (punchyness), greater frequency range (with distortion/saturation/etc) and in some cases a volume bump to get them sounding equally legible.

I also decided to shorten the samples (relative to stable/legacy) in response to modern beatmaps being of increased difficulty/hitobject-density compared to maps from back when peppy created the stable/legacy sampleset.

In theory this allows for new players to progress further through harder maps before feeling the need to find an alternative skin/sampleset to hear what they're doing accurately - at which point, there's now conveniently also argon pro.

The sampleset does diverge a bit in some aspects (i.e. spinner sounds, fail sound, etc) to lean into lazer's aesthetic, but otherwise I hope the hitsounds should still be recognizable as some facsimile of their stable/legacy counterparts and hopefully still feel and play just as good (if not better) than stable/legacy did.

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix classic skins incorrectly applying scaling factor to approch circles (ppy/osu#27286 by @peppy)

In triangles and argon, we expanded hitcircles to take up the full 128 px which are clickable, but still use the old approach circle sprite. To make it feel correct (ie. disappear as it collides with the hitcircle, not when it overlaps the border) we need to expand it slightly.

Note that this fix only affects classic/legacy skins.

Settings

Remove Veldrid OpenGL renderer, always use (legacy) GLRenderer (ppy/osu-framework#6193 by @smoogipoo)

Spurred by people using this renderer, likely because "legacy" has a bad connotation associated with it (e.g. https://discord.com/channels/188630481301012481/1097318920991559880/1209220240383418438).

This forces GLRenderer ("legacy") to be used even when the OpenGL renderer type is selected.

Fix relax mod not respecting tracking state of sliders when triggering actions (ppy/osu#26763 by @frenzibyte)

Create key-presses when watching osu!stable "Relax" replays (ppy/osu#27145 by @tsunyoku)

osu!stable does not record key presses onto replays with Relax, so attempting to watch them back in lazer didn't work historically.

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Add progressive coverage for mania's Hidden and FadeIn mods (ppy/osu#27068 by @smoogipoo)

Platform

Suggest to update only if the latest release is available for the current platform (ppy/osu#26930 by @Susko3)

We've had few releases lately where mobile isn't working / is crashing, so the mobile release was pulled. Unfortunately, the game would still send an update notification, leading to many people opening issues about the update not being available for their platform.

This fixes that.

Gameplay

Fix holding keys before gameplay starts resulting in incorrect input (ppy/osu-framework#6101 by @frenzibyte)

Fade hold-for-menu button out completely on non-touch devices (ppy/osu#26542 by @peppy)

Simplify gameplay pause sequence (ppy/osu#26605 by @peppy)

This removes the frequency ramp on pausing. This was something I was personally behind implementing and working to keep around, but nuking in favour of simplifying the process for now. In discussing with nekodex we both agree there is a better way forward than this.

This lays groundwork for doing other things, like allowing seeking during replay pause, and changing the way offsets work without worrying about the weird application considerations from the pause ramp effect.

Fix gameplay elements not correctly offsetting to avoid per-ruleset skin layout (ppy/osu#26609 by @peppy)

Change S rank to require no miss (ppy/osu#26630 by @peppy)

This is a change for osu!/osu!taiko to match stable. It's not final. We're just giving people what they are used to for now. If you're about to comment about how you disagree with this, then please make sure to search first and contribute to an existing conversation.

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix flashlight not dimming if slider head is hit early (ppy/osu#26576 by @bdach)

Fix cursor scale animation not matching stable on classic skins (ppy/osu#26567 by @peppy)

Adjust slider tick / end miss animations to be shorter (ppy/osu#26668 by @peppy)

There's still a lot of feedback that these are noisy and get in the way. As a recap, you can already skin these out using sliderendmiss and sliderendtick, but adding these in a classic skin is a bit of a pain in the ass, so I want to make the defaults usable for most users.

We'll continue to iterate based on feedback!

Adjust slider tick / end miss visuals to be less noisy (ppy/osu#26703 by @peppy)

More subtle, less noisy, but still should describe the misses quite well.

I toyed with bringing across the stable behaviour of ticks not fading out but people preferred this direction, so let's stick with it.

Smaller changes

• Fix pop-in scale transition in resume overlay affecting input area (ppy/osu#26545 by @frenzibyte)
• Fix touch device not always activating when it should (ppy/osu#26575 by @bdach)

  • People are still complaining so I want to first try to make them more subtle.

Gameplay (osu!mania)

Fix key overlay not showing special key in the right place (ppy/osu#26589 by @peppy)

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

Fix taiko maps containing only drum rolls / swells not being passable without mods (ppy/osu#26578 by @bdach)

Change the input drum width to be consistent across all skins (ppy/osu#26632 by @frenzibyte)

Up until now, the input drum width was variable per skin, which results in the overall gameplay width changing based on skin. This has been discussed to be quite bad and must not be the case (see discord).

The constant width for the input drum has been defined to be 180px, visually matching osu!stable on classic skin. Default skins have been altered slightly to respect that width (basically set its height with respect to width rather than the opposite).

Change hit target position in osu!taiko to always match stable (ppy/osu#26634 by @frenzibyte)

Move osu!taiko playfield down a nudge to match stable visually (ppy/osu#26635 by @frenzibyte)

Remove rounding of slider velocity (when applied as scroll speed) (ppy/osu#26616 by @peppy)

This fixes some beatmaps using very precise slider velocities to create a speed ramp from looking too "jumpy".

Fix osu!taiko's scroll speed not matching stable expectations (ppy/osu#26781 by @frenzibyte)

This finally brings osu!taiko in line with scroll speed on stable, even when "classic" mod is not applied.

Performance

Fix gameplay counter textures not being cached ahead of time (ppy/osu#26536 by @peppy)

Fix judgement pooling not working correctly in osu!taiko and osu!mania (ppy/osu#26546 by @peppy)

Reduces potential stutters when loading initial textures, plus should decrease gameplay overhead quite considerably (until now, each time a pool was requested for a different judgement type it would have to reinitialise the judgement's internal drawables).

Rewrite ArgonHealthDisplay to use shaders (ppy/osu#26479 by @EVAST9919)

Playlists

Allow interacting with playlist item buttons when not selected (ppy/osu#26449 by @peppy)

Originally interaction was limited to fix clicking title/creator links when trying to select the panel. But this also meant that buttons became unresponsive, which is quite anti-user.

Replay

Add replay playback controls (ppy/osu#26446 by @LeNitrous)

This also:

• Adjusts playback speed range to allow slower minimum speed (0.05x ~ 2.0x)
• Change replay playback adjustment to skew frequency, not tempo (sounds better)

Allow seeking while paused (ppy/osu#26606 by @peppy)

Add ability to step forward/backwards single frames when watching replays (ppy/osu#26607 by @peppy)

Improve performance of seeking in replays (ppy/osu#26600 by @peppy)

It now scales with your hardware, and in most cases it should be imperceptible on short seeks.

Scoring

In the case a user gets an SS, accuracy never changes from the initial value, so the bindable flow was not being triggered.

Add "Minimise osu! when switching to another app" setting (ppy/osu#26166 by @Susko3)

Show offset explanation tooltip on settings offset adjust slider bar (ppy/osu#26591 by @peppy)

Also adjusts the text on beatmap offset. Because every time I see "beatmap offset" I want to change the directionality of adjustment to match. This next text should also help users understand that both the global and per beatmap offset are in the same direction.

Crop screenshots to scaled screen size when using screen scaling "everything" mode (ppy/osu#26697 by @LeNitrous)

This mimics stable behavior when taking screenshots with letterboxing enabled. Only applicable when Screen scaling is set to "Everything".

Smaller changes

• Add retry loop to avoid log export failing occasionally on windows (ppy/osu#26699 by @peppy)

Skin Editor

Fix skin potentially being lost when opening and closing skin editor rapidly (ppy/osu#26560 by @peppy)

Skinning

• Make spinner-top and spinner-middle2 spin at different speeds to match stable (ppy/osu#26562 by @kyubxy)
• Change legacy beatmap skins to not handle @2x textures (to match stable) (ppy/osu#26594 by @frenzibyte)
  • In stable, when looking up a texture in beatmap skin, the @2x suffix does not mean anything and the texture is returned normally with no adjustment to scale.
• Remove handling for non-legacy texture lookup paths in LegacySkin (ppy/osu#26598 by @frenzibyte)
  • Beatmaps like "new beginnings" store storyboard elements that match the name of a skin element in a nested folder (e.g. SB/k/[email protected]). When stable looks up the element, it will not match it with any texture file in the user's skin, due to the user's skin not having any texture file with the path explicitly being SB/k/[email protected] for example.

However, in lazer, GetTexture strips out the directory name and looks up for a texture that matches only the file name, leading to the hitcircles requested from the storyboard to be incorrectly sourced from the user's selected skin when beatmap skin is turned off, rather than the beatmap's textures.

• Fix storyboard animations stripping path directory on skin lookup (ppy/osu#26599 by @frenzibyte)

Song Select

Automatically select search text when pressing enter to select a mod at mod select (ppy/osu#26178 by @felipemarins)

Before	After

Smaller changes

• Fix some elements not showing on leaderboard scores when almost off-screen (ppy/osu#26565 by @peppy)

Tournament

Fix tournament beatmap backgrounds occasionally not loading (ppy/osu#26587 by @peppy)

This also shows an empty beatmap instead of nothing when no beatmap is selected.
