2.0.0 rebuilt the game. 2.0.2 is about making it feel rebuilt. Two new visibility mods that stack with everything you already run, a Song Selection screen that finally looks the way the game plays, and a launch that takes a fraction of the time it used to. And a website, so your rank lives somewhere other than your own screen.
WE HAVE A WEBSITE
lyniumgame.com is live. See your rankings, compare yourself against every player on every chart, and share your results with people who are not sitting next to you.
- WORLD RANKINGS for 4K, 7K and Standard, paged all the way down
- BEATMAP BROWSER with plays, likes and every difficulty in the set
- NEWS, live player counts and activity, straight from the same tables the game reads
NEW MODS
Hidden (HD)
The notes leave before they reach the line. You keep playing them anyway.
- SCORE: +10%
- STACKS WITH: Fade In, and every speed mod
Fade In (FI)
The runway stays dark. Notes only light up once they are near the line.
- SCORE: +10%
- STACKS WITH: Hidden, and every speed mod
Modifiers window
Redesigned, because you should not have to guess what a two-letter badge does.
- MOD CARDS:
name only⇒ every mod explains what it does on the card itself - SCORE MULTIPLIER:
buried in the layout⇒ its own meter, with the ranked state beside it - NIGHTCORE / DAYCORE: now show which step they are on
- NEW: one button clears every mod at once
SONG SELECTION, REBUILT
- NAVIGATION BAR: slimmer, out of the way of the art
- CARDS: rounded, and now reflecting off the surface below them
- SELECTED BEATMAP: an amber glow, so you always know where you are
- ARTWORK:
cropped and stretched⇒ fills the screen intact - TITLE, DIFFICULTY AND VERSION: a soft shadow carries them over any cover
Filter bar
- MODE, GROUP AND SORT:
three separate trips⇒ one row, straight over the art - BEATMAP COUNT: now sits under the search box, so you can see what your search left you
INTO THE SONG
- CAMERA ENTRANCE:
always the same one⇒ one of three - PAUSE SCREEN: now tells you which beatmap you are in — cover, difficulty, title, artist, keys, rating, BPM and mapper
- IN-GAME LEADERBOARD:
on screen and empty from the first frame⇒ slides in after the camera entrance
PERFORMANCE
The part of this patch you will feel before you read about it.
- BEATMAP LIBRARY:
re-read on every launch⇒ read once and remembered between launches - UNCHANGED LIBRARY:
several seconds to open⇒ a fraction of a second - SONG DECODING:
every time⇒ once - COVER ART:
reloaded constantly⇒ cached, and loaded at the resolution your screen actually needs, so cards stay sharp on large monitors - ENTERING A SONG: about two seconds quicker
- BEATMAP PARSING:
on press⇒ before you press, so starting a song no longer waits on the file - LOADING SCREEN:
a fixed wait⇒ lifts when the game is actually running smoothly
HOME, FEATURED AND STORE
- HOME COUNTERS: now show your real Lynium Points and the likes your beatmaps have collected — and both open the store
- STORE ICONS:
Lynium Points and contribution points shared one icon⇒ each has its own - FEATURED BEATMAPS: now say when they were uploaded and whether you already have them
- CLICKING A FEATURED CARD: plays it if you have it, or takes you to the download if you do not
BEATMAP EDITOR
- BEAT NUMBERS: 1 2 3 4 down the side of the playfield, so you can place to the bar instead of counting it
- TEST PLAY:
forced a save⇒ save and test, or test without saving and come back to your work exactly as you left it
BUGFIXES
- Usernames with special characters are displayed correctly again.
- Liking a beatmap from the song list now actually reaches the server. Before, only the like given at the end of a play counted.
- Escape pauses again, and closes whatever panel is on top before it touches the pause menu.
- Beatmaps with no cover art no longer show as a blank card, and the cover no longer turns white when you confirm a song.
- The playfield is no longer washed out in the released build.
- The background artwork no longer swings in, no longer fades in twice, and no longer reloads when you switch between difficulties of the same song.
- Beatmap cards no longer stay stuck at the selected size.
- Featured cards no longer say "Just uploaded" over a beatmap from months ago.
- The fifth row of the in-game leaderboard is no longer cut off.
- The filters in the beatmap browser can be clicked now, not just opened.
- Editor: break markers no longer wash out the spectrum, and they respect 7K layouts.
- Fixed the errors that appeared when leaving a song.
