Quaver Update 0.22.0 Patch Notes

A new Quaver client update has been released! For this week's update, we've introduced a few quality of life updates, performance improvements, and bug fixes.

Download Screen Audio Previews Are Back!

[previewyoutube=tLa5LlsDFtI;full][/previewyoutube] The audio previews in the download screen have returned! You can now listen to songs before you commit to downloading them in-game. Because of the high influx of users upon launch, the audio previews were using a very large amount of bandwidth. This caused us to have to temporarily disable them while we work out a solution. You should see no difference compared to how it was on launch. Also, if you haven't noticed already, you can now listen to audio previews on our website as well!

Toggle Gameplay Overlay

[previewyoutube=HkxvZWui-iE;full][/previewyoutube] By pressing Shift+F6 during gameplay, you can now show/hide all of the UI during gameplay. This is another feature that many of you have asked for and is very useful if you find the UI distracting during gameplay. You can also change this setting in the options menu.

Update Ranked Statuses & Open Game Folder Buttons

In the Miscellaneous section of the options menu, you will now find two new buttons. The first button is self-explanatory. It will open up your file explorer and take you directly to the game's folder. This is useful if you want to fiddle around with your configuration or find files quickly. The second button is a quality of life feature that many of you have asked for - a way to update all of your maps' ranked statuses. If you click this button, the game will find any maps of your's that do not have the Ranked icon in song select and update it. This currently does not work for unranked and is only limited to ranked.

Gameplay Startup Speed & Loading Screen

For some players, the speed at which the game launched was fairly slow. We have added a loading screen that the game goes to at launch which makes the window display faster. This should provide you with some feedback that the game has launched and is loading. We are still investigating an issue that makes the game take abnormally long to launch for some players. During our investigation, it seems that it has to do with player hardware (Integrated Intel GPU). We will keep you updated as we find out more. If you have any information or have found ways to fix this, please reach out, so we can make other players aware and/or implement a fix.

Song Select Search Filter Additions

• You can now use != when filtering your search by ranked status and original game (status!=ranked, game!=quaver)
• A "short name alias" has been added for the ranked status filter. You can now use s=r which is equivalent to status=ranked and s=u which is equivalent to status=unranked.

Other Additions & Bug Fixes

• Added a setting in the options menu to toggle the game's process priority from normal to high (can help with performance/stuttering)
• We have fixed a bug where the map would never end while spectating a user.
• The game no longer soft locks when importing while spectating a user.
• The built-in audio offset calibrator's map offset has been corrected.

We hope you enjoy this update! - The Quaver Team
