Quaver v1.7 Update Patch Notes
A new Quaver client update has been released!

This update contains a ton of new features, improvements, and bug fixes!

Please read below for all information regarding this update.
Mines
Mines are a new note type that explode if you hit them. Hitting a mine counts as a miss and will reduce your health and combo.
This new note type provides mappers with new opportunities to make patterns more strict, allow maps to be more representative of the song, or create brand new effects.
1-10 Key Support
Watch on YouTube
As highly requested, Quaver now supports 1-10 Key Game Modes.
These new game modes are currently unranked, so you will not be able to gain performance rating for them.
If you are a donator, you will still be able to view and compete on unranked scoreboards for them — similar to the scoreboards for unranked & unsubmitted maps.
MacOS Native Support
Quaver now runs natively on Macs running M-Series chips, which improves boot times and performance even further.

There is also a "Prefer macOS Input Handling" option in-game to allow inputs to not be FPS bound (use the Limit FPS type with it).
New Additions
Added an "explicit" filter for maps in the download screen.
Added the ability to filter clan ranked maps in the download screen.
Added clan tags in the chat and on scoreboards.
Added letterboxing option for the gameplay playfield.
Added the ability to scale your scroll speed with the song playback rate.
Added the ability customizable long note missed release judgement.
Added a new mini progress bar element.
Added a slider to tweak how much long notes lengths are shrunk.
Added an option to change the editor skin. The gameplay and editor skins are now separate.
Added a button to sync map metadata across an entire mapset in the editor.
Added per map scroll speed overriding.
Added an epilepsy warning for scroll velocity maps.
Improved the tournament viewer when spectating more than two players.
Quaver files now have icons and you can now open them directly with the game.
You can now import and export entire playlists to the game.
Added various skinning changes, improvements, and fixes.
A lot of skinning changes improvements & fixes
Added a keybind to reset map offset.
Added a keybind to change the audio pitch toggle.
Added a keybind to remove all modifiers.
Various performance improvements game-wide.
Bug Fixes
Fixed chat messages overlapping.
When play testing a map, you now return back to the editor.
Replay controls no longer cause weird issues when clicked before the audio starts
When audio source disconnects, the game will now pick the next available source
Refreshing maps no longer change the Date Added
When downloading a map, the game will automatically select the next map in the list.
Fixed the seek bar not updating properly after modifier change.
& many more!

Quaver v1.6.0 Update Patch Notes
A new Quaver client update has been released!
This update contains a ton of new features, improvements, and bug fixes!
Please read below for all information regarding this update.
Clans Private Beta
After first being teased in 2022, clans are finally arriving to Quaver!
Clans is an interactive game mode where players work together to achieve the highest scores on maps.
We are currently releasing it in private beta which is exclusive to donators while we work on ironing the game mode out.
If you want to participate in the private beta, you can grab a 7-day free trial of donator here.
Here's How It Works
The clan ranking system is fairly simple, so here's how to get started.

Make sure you and all of your clan members are donators, as only donators will be able to participate submit clan scores during the private beta.
Create your clan on our new website here.
Invite members to your clan.
Every day, one map per game mode will be ranked. These are the maps your clan needs to play. You will receive a notification on the new website, in-game, and on Discord when this happens.
The top 10 scores from your clan will be combined into one clan score which will be used for scoreboards and your clan's overall rating.
Tips
Here are some tips to help your clan have the advantage.

Make sure you have at least 10 active members in your clan.
Make sure the members of your clan are diverse when it comes to their skillset. If you have players who excel at one particular skillset but not others, you are at a disadvantage.
Log in every day to keep up to date with the newly ranked maps.
Clan Customizables
If you would like to customize your clan's profile, any member of your clan can purchase customizables for $9.99.
The clan leader can customize any of the following:

Clan Name
Clan Tag
Avatar
Banner
About Me
Accent Color
Timing Groups
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXOhdH6hBgo
Timing groups are a brand new mechanic that pushes the limit of the visual effects of maps.
This allows different sets of notes to adhere to completely isolated visual effects. It is now possible to make maps where some notes are bouncing and some are going backwards — all at the same time.
As a scroll velocity player, this means that you may now see much fancier maps coming out in the future.
As a mapper, this means that you could now assign different scroll velocities to different sets of notes by using the new Timing Group Editor.
You can also find that in the scroll velocity editor, you can now make separate SV effects for different timing groups.
Scroll Speed Factor
https://youtu.be/QWOYMk2HoWY
In addition to scroll velocity, which changes the velocity of notes, you can now directly manipulate the spacing between the notes.
With Scroll Speed Factor (SSF), you can scale the spacing between notes. This has the same effect as directly multiplying your scroll speed by a factor, hence the name 'Scroll Speed Factor'.
As a mapper, you can now find the editor for SSFs under `Tools`. It has the exact same view and behavior as the scroll velocity editor. The SSF will smoothen between adjacent SSF points, so you can easily create effects with a few points (e.g. parallax effect).
Editor Keybind System Rework
The editor input system has been reworked, so that you could now customize your own keybinds for most of the actions in the editor. You can check this out via the `Keybind Editor`, located under the new `Keybinds` menu:
The default keybinds have undergone a massive change. You could find all of the existing keybinds in the screenshot above.
Furthermore, you can also share your keybindings to others using the `Show Keybind File` button. All they have to do is drag the file into the editor window so they could use your keymap.
Hit Bubbles
Hit Bubbles are a new skinnable element which displays an ordered version of the previous judgements that were achieved during gameplay.
You can learn how to skin the Hit Bubbles on our wiki.
New Additions

Added & improved sorting options in the map download screen.
Added cancel & retry buttons to the mapset download notifications.
Added an experimental option to smoothen the audio to reduce lag at the beginning of maps.
The layout of the panels in the editor now preserve its location.
Improved song select mapset searching. You can view more info here.
Updated audio engine libraries.
The window title now displays the game's build revision.
Improved the speed of mapset importing by retrieving online information asynchronously.
Added the option to disable Discord Rich Presence.
Migrated network usage to API 2.0.
Updated ImGUI to the latest version.
Various editor plugin API improvements.
Various performance improvements
Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue with judgement burst & combo bump.
Fixed longer replays not loading.
Fixed an issue where the map background would not update when changing difficulties in the editor.
Fixed various issues when playing converted maps from other games.
Fixed an AutoMod issue with feat., ft., etc metadata.

Official Quaver 4K Tournament 2023 Winners
The third official Quaver tournament has concluded! Congratulations to the following players who won the tournament and took home a $300+ prize pool:

🥇 1st Place: kaijuu
🥈 2nd Place: Koshepen
🥉 3rd Place: Btf Konkawe
Thank you to everyone who participated, and we hope to see you in the next tournament!
New Additions
Editor Bookmarks
You can now add bookmarks to your maps in the editor. This was a feature request that spanned back about three years. Bookmarks are another useful tool to keep track of what you're doing while creating maps in the editor.

To create a bookmark, simply click the "+ Add Bookmark" button at the bottom of the editor, or press CTRL+B.
To edit a bookmark, you can left click one of the yellow ticks in the timeline.
To delete a bookmark, you can right click one of the yellow ticks in the timeline.
Multiplayer Server Rewrite
Over the past few months, we've been working on rewriting our original multiplayer server, so that we can provide a better experience for everyone. The original server was buggy, had frequent disconnection issues, and was becoming increasingly more difficult to add new features. With this rewrite, things should be more stable and also open the door for us to experiment with new realtime multiplayer features.
However, we made the conscious decision to remove/change some of the features the old server had:

Auto Host is now an option that can be applied to any multiplayer game instead of having their own dedicated lobbies. This should remove the clutter in the multiplayer lobby, as well as give the host more control over when the matches start.
Team mode in multiplayer is no longer available.
The jukebox screen is no longer available.
The #announcements channel in-game has been removed, and will be replaced with a #first-places channel soon.
The #offtopic chat channel in-game has been removed.
If you experience any bugs with the new server, please report them on GitHub, so we can put out a fix ASAP.
Other Additions

In the miscellaneous section of the options menu, there are now settings to prioritize the game mode and difficulty rating that is automatically highlighted when you choose a map in song select.
Increased performance during gameplay — notably during intense scroll velocity sections.
Increased performance while scrolling through a lot of maps in song select.
The grade in the results screen is now skinnable.
Added the skin.ini option to change the y position of the song progress bar.
Added a setting in the options menu to to enable "Tap to restart" during gameplay. This makes it so instead of holding the restart button for a brief period of time, simply tapping it will trigger a restart.
Increased the range of the audio and visual offset settings to -500 to 500.
The experimental theater screen has been removed.
Bug Fixes

Fixed the sound effect volume not being consistent with the master volume.
Fixed the "Player Profile" button in the leaderboard directing to the incorrect user.
Fixed a crash in the editor when placing an object without a timing point.
Fixed an issue that does not render objects in scroll containers.
Fixed time signatures and timing lines not being copied when copying timing points in the editor.
Fixed duplicate scroll velocity and timing point selections while shift clicking in the editor.
Fixed an issue with replays failing when missing long notes.
Fixed an issue where the the 7K+1 scratch lane was not ignored when using the Inverse, Full Long Notes, Randomize, and Mirror modifiers.
Fixed an issue where the game would not launch with some controllers plugged in.
Fixed a crash when changing modifiers in multiplayer while being host and not having the selected map.
Fixed duplicate ghost users in multiplayer.
Fixed disbanded multiplayer games showing up in the lobby.

Quaver 0.32.0 Update Patch Notes
A new Quaver client update has been released!
This update contains a ton of new features, improvements, and bug fixes!
Please read below for all information regarding this update.
AutoHost Multiplayer Games
We have added a new feature to multiplayer - AutoHost. These are multiplayer games that are hosted automatically and select ranked maps at random in a given difficulty range.
These lobbies are useful if you want to discover new maps from the community while playing with others. It is also possible to play by yourself while waiting for other players to join.
To use this feature, just head over to the multiplayer section of the game, and you'll find 16 lobbies with varying skill ranges and game modes.
No Miss Modifier
A No Miss modifier has been added to the game. When activated, this modifier will automatically fail and restart your gameplay session when you break combo.
If you combine this modifier with a custom combo break judgement, you can quite easily create an "Absolutely Marvelous" or "Perfectionist" modifier.
This modifier is ranked and can be used to submit scores.
Other Additions

Added the ability to import playlists from the website. However, currently it does not download new mapsets. It only syncs maps you already have downloaded. Downloading will most likely come in a future update.
Added the ability to set your audio output device in the options menu.
Disabled the windows key during gameplay.
You can now press F10 to play test from the start in the editor.
Old map backgrounds are now deleted when adding a new one in the editor as long as it is not in use by another map in the set. This is to reduce the file size of the mapset folder.
The BPM Affects SV option in the editor is now defaulted to off.
The Miss and Okay windows for the default judgement presets no longer scale.
Added a small delay when play testing from the start in the editor.
Added the ability to change a map's local offset in the multiplayer game lobby.
Improved the performance of playlist loading. This should improve game load and import times if you have a lot of playlists and maps.
Screens now refresh when reloading your skin (main menu & song select). This should make the process of designing menu skins easier.
The location of the modifier display in song select has changed. This change was made due to modifiers not appearing if the song difficulty name was too long.
Bug Fixes

The applause sound effect now stops when exiting the results screen.
Layers for reference difficulties in the editor no longer hide even if they are set to.
Fixed a positioning issue when using the WidthForNoteHeightScale skin.ini config option.
Fixed profile pictures not displaying in local scores.
Fixed scores not submitting if you paused prior to the map starting.
Pressing ALT + Enter in song select no longer starts the map.
Autoplay no longer gets toggled when pressing tab if the chat is open.
Fixed an issue where a song would keep playing when entering the map downloader screen.
The online user count now displays "OFFLINE" if you are disconnected from the server rather than "USERS ONLINE."
Map ranked statuses now update when refreshing your maps with the F5 function.
Minor Update Patch Notes
We've released 4 other minor updates from 0.31.0-0.32.0. You may have missed the changelog if you are not in our Discord server. Below are the changes that were made.

Fixed the NSV modifier not displaying correctly in the tournament viewer/theater mode.

Quaver 0.30.0 Update Patch Notes
A new Quaver client update has been released!
This update contains a ton of new features, improvements, and bug fixes!
Please read below for all information regarding this update.
In-Game Leaderboard Additions

Scores that are played with the No Long Notes, Full Long Notes, and Inverse modifiers now submit to the server. These scores are unranked and do not count towards your overall rating.
You can now view No Long Notes, Full Long Notes, and Inverse scores on the "Mods" leaderboard.
Added a new "All" leaderboard for Donators. This displays both unranked and ranked scores on one leaderboard.
Donators can now view 100 scores on the leaderboard instead of the usual 50.
Local scores with the No Long Notes, Full Long Notes, and Inverse modifiers now display the correct performance rating (only applies to new scores). This also applies to multiplayer and gameplay UI.
Steam Workshop Editor Plugins
Editor plugins are one of the many great features of Quaver. They allow you to extend the functionality of the editor in virtually any way you choose!
Previously, sharing editor plugins was not directly supported in-game and was a hassle to do. You can now upload plugins for others to use in the editor with only a few clicks.
Downloading plugins for the editor is now available on the Steam Workshop. It follows the same process as installing a skin - just click subscribe!
If you are a developer, and you would like to learn more about creating editor plugins, check out our wiki.
Other Additions

You can now customize which judgement causes combo breaks in the judgement window modifier dialog.
Holding down Page Up/Down now zooms the playfield in the editor.
A right click option to add/remove friends was added to the song select's leaderboard.
The hitlighting animation now plays when releasing long notes.
Added a keybind (F4) to test play maps in the editor.
Added a keybind (Shift+F2) to undo random song selection in the song select screen.
Players in a multiplayer lobby now change color depending on their status (Gold = Host, Blue = Not Ready, Green = Ready, Red = No Map).
Pausing before the song starts no longer unranks your score. It will now only unrank it after the first note has past.
Bug Fixes

Fixed the "Unknown Server Error" issue when attempting to log into the server.
Fixed an issue when uploading mapsets to the server with slow upload speeds.
Fixed the incorrect song length displaying for maps in the download map screen.
Fixed a textbox issue in song select when the map preview's autoplay is turned off.
Fixed the LeaderboardScoreColor skin.ini value being flipped.
The editor now requires a timing point in order to test play.
Fixed a crash when a textbox's character length is too long.
Fixed the judgement texture height not being scaled correctly in the judgement window modifier dialog.
Fixed the "Download In-Game" button on the website not working for some maps.
Fixed various dropdown menu issues in the options menu.
Fixed a crash when a judgement window's preset name is the same as a default preset.
Fixed an issue where the game resizes itself on a loop on secondary monitors.
Fixed an issue where you cannot select duplicate scroll velocities or timing points in the editor.
Disabled the retry hotkey in the multiplayer and spectator results screen.
Fixed the scroll wheel audio seeking not working on the map preview in multiplayer.
Fixed a typo in the upload mapset dialog.

Quaver 0.28.0 Update Patch Notes
A new Quaver client update has been released!
For this update, we've opened back up the ranking queue, added a new AutoMod feature to the editor, and much more!
Please read below for all information regarding this update.
Ranking Queue Reopened & Ranking Process Changes
After a few months of the ranking queue being closed, we've finally opened it back up for submissions. Throughout that time, new tools and systems have been developed to make the ranking process flow smoother and be less overloaded.
Submitting Mapsets For Rank
Previously, to submit mapsets to the ranking queue, you needed to go on the website and submit it there. This has moved to in-game via the editor's "File -> Submit For Rank." option.
This change was made because the game now runs the AutoMod (see below) on all of your maps to make sure they fit the ranking criteria. If there are errors in your maps, it will be able to detect and require you to fix them before they are allowed to be submitted.
Ranking Process Changes
A couple of changes have been made to ranking queue submission in an effort to keep the queue less overloaded.

When getting a mapset denied for rank, you will now need to wait two weeks before being able to submit it again. This does not prevent you from submitting other mapsets - only the one that was denied.
The ranking queue now has a slot system depending on how many ranked mapsets you have. This is an effort to make users to choose more wisely about which maps they submit to the queue, as well as reduce some of the queue's backlog.

Ranked Mapsets Allowed Slots
0 1
2 2
5 3

Editor AutoMod
A new "AutoMod" feature has been added to the editor. This is a tool that will allow you to view any errors and warnings that your maps have.
The AutoMod checks for things such as:

Overlapping Notes
Metadata Errors
External File Errors (background, audio, etc)
Errors With Timing Points Or Scroll Velocities
Miscellaneous Ranking Queue Errors
& Much More!
As mentioned above, this same tool is also used when submitting mapsets for rank. If any errors are detected, then it will prevent submission.
To access this tool, you can use the "Edit -> Enable AutoMod" option in the editor.
Results Screen Performance Rating & Health Graphs
In the last update, a graph was added to the results screen to display accuracy throughout plays. In this update, two new graphs have been added to display your performance rating and health as well.
Other Additions

Added "mods.txt" and "mapid.txt" files to the "/temp/Now Playing/" folder for use with live streaming.
Editor plugin descriptions now display in the file menu bar when hovering over them.
Gameplay now takes custom timing signatures into account when rendering timing lines.
Added Ctrl+Shift+V to paste without re-snapping in the editor.
Added links to the Ranking Criteria and Ranking Process to the editor's help menu.
Bug Fixes

Fixed the difficulty seek bar in the editor scaling incorrectly with playback speeds.
Fixed the recently played sorting option in song select not working properly.
Fixed subsequent skins not exporting when attempting to export the default skin first.
Fixed objects being unsnapped when pasting in the editor.
Fixed online offset using the incorrect sign.
Fixed Ctrl+Backspace functionality in textboxes.
Fixed Drag/Input/SliderInt2/3/4 editor plugin functions to take an array.

Quaver Update 0.27.0 Patch Notes
A new Quaver client update has been released!
For this update, we've added difficulty calculation updates, main menu skinning, editor improvements, bug fixes, & much more!
Please read below for all information regarding this update.
Difficulty Calculator & Leaderboard Updates
A few changes have been made to our difficulty calculation system. It may take up to a day at the time of writing for leaderboards to fully update.
Upon launching the game, your maps and local scores will automatically recalculate as long as you are in the menu screens.
Here are the following changes:

Beginner and Easy Difficulties are scaled by density to provide a more accurate result.
Improved the quality of the short long note nerf from a previous update.
Hard Maps with easy sections that were previously underrated have been buffed.
Short maps below 60 seconds that were previously overrated have been nerfed.
For a more detailed explanation with graphics, you can read the following notes.
Main Menu Skinning
We have added the ability to customize the main menu screen.
You can learn how to skin the main menu on our wiki.
Menu skinning will be an incremental and iterative process - building out one screen at a time. Try it out, and provide feedback on GitHub with things that are missing or things you would like changed.
Editor Quality Of Life Improvements
Further quality of life improvements & bug fixes have also been made to the editor.

When using the "Apply Offset To Map" feature, the preview point will also be moved.
Implemented EditorActionBatch for plugins to group actions into a single batch.
When adding notes with the number keys, it will now add it to the currently selected layer.
Toggling layer visibility no longer adds to the "Undo stack" in the editor.
Time signatures are now taken into account when rendering the editor playfield lines.
The metronome now takes into account the current timing point's time signature.
Added the ability to explicitly hide timing lines in the timing point editor.
Added a file menu bar option that contains information on how to add a background image.
Added a file menu bar option & shortcut to force update the .qua file cache (for manual changes).
Added manual .qua file change detection.
Added the ability to add a new difficulty to a mapset from a .qua file.
Added a copyright notice on the upload confirmation dialog.
The number keys now change the composition tool when the "Place Objects With Top Row Numbers" option is disabled.
Results Screen Improvements
Updates have been made to the results screen such as the new addition of the "Accuracy" graph and improvements to the "Deviance" graph.

The deviance graph in the results screen is now scaled to the full map length - meaning if you fail, it displays the total progress made in the map.
The judgement window number labels on the deviance graph are now correct.
Added red lines to display misses on the deviance graph.
Added an accuracy graph in the results screen (use the "Graph" dropdown to access it).
Added the ability to use the retry key in the results screen.
Other Additions

You can now drag folders into the game window to import any maps inside of them.
Chat message times now display in local time.
Improved bulk song import speed.
Improved the load speed and look of the difficulty seek bar in song select/editor/multiplayer.
Implemented online offset & added a button to update all online offsets in the misc section of the options menu. We're currently working on adding online offsets for all existing maps.
Added support for "Edit" difficulty when loading maps from an external game.
Bug Fixes

Fixed long notes rendering past the receptors if hit late.
Fixed an issue where the config file would not be written.
Fixed songs from an external game not loading with a custom "BeatmapDirectory."
Fixed the client hanging on startup if the config file is corrupted.
Fixed banners not exporting to .qp files.
Fixed borderless window issues when starting the game.
Fixed banners not importing when loading .sm files.
