Stuttering for about a year now

Help

Hi all,

I used to play mainly during 2014-2016 and on and off since then, but for the last year or so I've had major stuttering issues so I haven't bothered really.

Hoping to actually fix it this time so I've tried a few things.

​

  • Re-installing osu on a different SSD.
  • Different resolutions, native, non-native etc,
  • Reduce performance mode, and whatever other performance help there is in the options of the game.
  • Capping the framerate, uncapping the framerate.

​

No luck. This game ran better on my old shitty computer, but its unplayable on an RTX 3070 and Ryzen 3900x with 16gb ram, out of the blue.

​

Any other things I can try?

Attached a streamable link showing the issue, if you check the frametime. https://streamable.com/jw2red

idk how often your game stutters, but the osu client is infamous for all the stuttering rn, hopefully lazer should fix it (eventually (in 432509823904 years.)) One thing I realized tho that may cause stutter is a large song folder.

lazer was supposedly right around the door when i actually played lol,

I've tried it with a fresh install with basic songs too, seems to happen 1-2 times a map.

Rough out here just want to give the game another go

Large songs folder just causes videos to not load for me. (150k+ diffs)

Never has a stutter problem in 10 years

Honestly rn the best choice is just to play lazer or mcosu if its too unbearable. Stable is running dreadfully rn with no hope of it being fixed

You can try lock cpu cores, in msconfig. It helped me with other old games. But my osu stutters for about a year too, I just set optimal fps and close everything, except browser.

set discord to low priority on every task (all of these)

I've had major lagspikes in not just osu for years and my PC crashed once per day with no way to fix it that I've found, turns out discord is just garbage and that can happen to some.

Even if you don't have the issues I had you will still likely notice an improvement. Also make sure to set them back to low if you watch an embedded video or a stream since that will turn one of the threads back to above normal and another back to normal.

There are also regedit files that set it to low on startup but it will still force those two tasks I mentioned back to the default values once you watch a video/stream.

does setting discord to low priority affect discord in any way? as in, do you still get notifications? can you stream osu to discord without lagspikes?

streaming will set one task back to above normal which can again cause lag spikes, other than that it works as normal although being a bit laggy but that's not a big deal
