Hotfix time!

If you had issues with the game crashing on start, videos not playing, or crashing when entering song selection in the last release, those should be resolved! As always, make sure to set this up as a new client folder (do not overwrite your old one please).

Tl;DR: Song Select improvements in beatmap grouping, sorting, filtering, and searching. Leaderboard improvements, and lots of bugfixes across the client.

New Features:

New included background by patchedlol on twitter

Megapixel Calculator:
This is a rewrite of a program I worked on from 2019-2021, but in osu! because it seemed like fun. Load in images, view metadata, and get camera information!

Sort by Mode in Song Select:
Just like in Stable, Digital Client will now sort maps by mode when appropriate.

Sort by Mode in Difficulty Select:
Difficulties in the Editor Open Dialog are now sorted by mode like Song Select

Add Creator, Artist, Difficulty, and Title Search Filters in Song Select:
You can now search in song select using terms like "Creator=Digitalfear117" "Artist=monet" "Difficulty=Insane"

Split Unknown and Not Submitted Grouping by Nikku:
It now also shows beatmap count in the headers in the Ranked Status grouping headers

Leaderboards Don't Show Position by Default:
In 2013 Clients, the leaderboard put the position next to the player name, but this leaves less room for usernames and caused them to cut off. I have removed the position text by default, but you can re-enable this if you'd like in Settings > Theme > Leaderbopard Options > Show Leaderboard Position. Just note that your name may get abbreviated in that mode.

Nightcore Metronome Options by Nikku and Digitalfear117:
You can now change when the metronome heard when using Nightcore appears! You can enable it when playing both Double Time or Nightcore, Have it Always Enabled, Always Disabled, or Default! You can change this in Settings > Gameplay > General Gameplay > Nightcore Metronome

Add New 150% Editor Rate Graphics by Khangaroo and Digitalfear117:
New improved Graphics for Editor Rate by Khangaroo! You can also customize when or if these show up! By Default this will only show up in new Editors (2013, 2014, Lazer Stable Transitional, Hexis), but you can also have it Always Appear, or Never Appear (always use vanilla assets). You can change this in Settings > Theme > Editor > 150% Playback Option

New AiMod Checks, tp Difficulty and Jump Detector:
From 2012 through 2014, it was possible for anyone to make plugins for AiMod in osu! I have ported the 2 I could find code from into osu! tp Difficulty is the original Difficulty Calculator tom94 made that eventually became ppv2, and the Jump Detector attempts (but ultimately kind of sucks at) detecting how far away jumps are!

Show Max Combo On Leaderboard Scores by Nikku:
You now do not need to wonder if a score if a PFC or not for all modes!

More Information About the Arcade Tab in Settings:
Although I have enjoyed watching people crash when they enable options in this screen for the past 15 months, it's probably time to warnings in this screen.

Allow FrameTimeGraph to be Usable in Release:
You can press Shift + F11 to access the frame time graph. This is a very early version of it, but it gets the point across.

Fix failsound and spinnerbonus Sounds Being Missing for Default Skin:
I accidentally deleted from osu.dll at some point, whoops.

Fix Accuracy Check in the pp Forms by Nikku:
You could not calculate scores with either 0% or 100% accuracy, that has been fixed. However these forms are not yet updated to use rosu-pp yet, so the results are not as accurate as they should be… hopefully in the next release.

Fix Beatmap Count Text When Searching in Song Select:
It will now always show the correct beatmap count, and won't be "all sets + currently expanded selection".

Fix Disabling Lazer No Results Ghost Not Working:
This regressed in the last release, and is now fixed.

Return Early if Rate < 1 in Editor Seek:
This is a rare crash I see users getting sometimes. I have literally no idea how, I can't replicate it, but hopefully it's fixed now. TL;DR, the game tries to move backwards in the editor, but is somehow given a time to move back of 0 and then when it does the math it freaked out because division by zero is not possible. You would think this would happen when at the very start or end of the timeline, but in there are already checks for that (and they worked in my testing), who knows.

Limit Beatmap Tree Item Stars to 10:
This is unlikely to make a big difference, however users with over 25k maps in Digital Client run into slowdown in Song Select due to the sheer amount of textures being loaded for each map. This is just a small optimization for any insanely high star rated maps. A better solution to this problem is still sorely needed, but I am not sure I can get 2016's optimizations to work here in Digital Client. I might need to do something custom.

Fix .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 Builds:
These haven't worked properly due to the client selecting the wrong runtimes (it was using .NET Framework 4.0 runtimes instead of .NET Framework 2.0 ones). The new osu!.exe.config included in the Compatibility Executables has the fix!

There were so many new options in the last release I actually didn't mention quite a few of them in the changelog, so I wanted to highlight some more from last release here:

Customize Splash Screen Cookie:
You can now customize the Splash Screen Cookie with Options to Skip it entirely, or use your selected Cookie in the client!

Customize Perfect Curve Slider Fallbacks in the Editor:
If you place an invalid Perfect Curve in the Editor by having more or less than 3 Slider Control Points, the game would force the slider to be a Linear (if 2 points) or Catmull (if more than 3 points). You can now customize this to be any Slider Curve Type!
