We have released StepMania 5.3 Alpha 4.5.9. This update features more performance improvements and bug fixes, as an interim release before our next major build, Alpha 5.0.

We are migrating to GitHub for public issue tracking going forward.

Notes

If you have a crash on the music selection screen, delete your banner cache in the /save/cache folder and change the ImageCache preference in Preferences.ini to Imagecache=Off

We have had reports of some animations and tweens (movements of things on screen) moving too fast on some mod files and computer setups. If you see this behaviour, please let us know, including the specific pack/song/etc., your PC specifications and operating system, and what was running too quickly. "We may have hit the crescent of the hill on math optimisations and it's now giving some quirky behaviour. I have not seen it here on my machines, nor on any of the Linux boxes I've tested, (or my MK6 cab) but please let us know if you see anything 'odd'." - Squirrel
