Bug description

I played todays beatmap of the day, which had a mandatory HD modifier and used a DT x1.2 mod on top of that. The hidden modifier worked partially: The enclosing circles around the hit circles were missing, however the hit circles (and sliders) did not disappear before I had to hit them, which made the HD mod significantly easier (I did not submit a score). The bug reoccured when restarting the beatmap after dying. Previously on the same day, with the same version and a lower DT x1.15 mod the bug did not occur.

Unfortunately the bug occured just 5 minutes before the beatmap of the day was closing so I had no time to test it thoroughly. Therefore I could not check if it was still there after restarting the game. Also taking a screenshot was not possible well, because I had to stop playing and then died before the shot was taken. Maybe you can see it below anyways: While being on the slider, the following hit circles which should have already disappeared are still visible.

After restarting the game, using HD modifiers on other beatmaps and the new beatmap of the day worked fine.

I took a short video of the beginning of the song using my phone, which clearly shows the bug. In case this is helpful I can provide it.

I think you are talking about hidden with the 'only fade approach circles' option enabled maybe? Try the map again in solo, enable hidden and toggle said option on in the customize dropdown menu, sorry if I'm misunderstanding your problem

I think you are correct. Sorry, I didnt know this customization option existed. I did not change it deliberately at least. In this case, HD was mandatory for the daily beatmap. Do you know if it is possible to customize a mandatory mod of a daily beatmap? If not, then it changed on its own due to some bug.

Glad I was able to help, and yes, it happened already once in daily challenges, I don't remember which one though, but you can check it hovering the HD symbol in the beatmap card of the daily screen and the tooltip will say the option is on.

I think we can improve the appearance of the icon to clear confusion here, I'm certain this is not the first time someone thinks this is a bug.

Today's daily challenge just started, what you saw a few hours ago was a previous challenge.

I am just talking about the challenge from 2024-11-25 (COMA Atm's Insane). When I set my score 6hours ago the HD mod for me was definitely the usual one without the "only fade approach circles" option. And about one hour ago, when I tried to improve upon the score the "only fade approach circles" option was active.

I am very sure of this because I have never seen this option on the HD mod before the play 1h ago. Despite that, the score I set 6hours ago https://osu.ppy.sh/scores/3918930610 is actually saved in the database with the mod "HD (Only fade approach circles: On)".

So either there was a bug which led to the "only fade approach circles" option not being activated during my tries on the map 6h ago. Or it was somehow possible to change this option for the daily map, which probably should not be the case. (And even if it should have been possible there would be a mismatch between the mod which was actually active during my game and the mod information of the online score)

The only possible case here is that the option did not work in your previous attempts for some reason, but there's really nothing to work on based on that alone. If you find a method to replicate this bug reliably, then send an email to [email protected] with the details you have found and action will be taken from there.
