StepMania 5.0.8 released

never use Vsync. NEVER, at least, not in this game.
This is bad advice, straight up. VSync isn't a problem. If you notice timing offset just adjust your visual offset or GO.

The game's actual input timings are not tied to the rendering.
hold on a minute... are you saying that any offset/timing related issue is because of visual offset?

Also, you should add the SM 5.0.8 download link on the download page/tab.

Yes, just set the game to -1f (-0.016 if you use a 60hz monitor) to compensate for a frame delay if things feel funky (visual delay is the "right" setting to use, but some might prefer GO for this)

Also, you should add the SM 5.0.8 download link on the download page/tab.
Yeah, I should, but I might leave it until 5.0.9 because of some of the visual bugs in 5.0.8 (hold tails are weird, note animations are busted)

now that i think about it. the times when i had offset/timing issues was when i was using directx graphic thingy. But when i installed windows xp, i noticed that it was somehow using OpenGL and i dont have an timing issues. Now that we know this, do you think we could make it so that StepMania 5 will finally have good default offset?
