Problem details:
I play with the entire Overlay (and therefor the leaderboard) hidden but for some reason the leaderboard in Multilobbys still shows no matter what i do. Toggling the "hide Leaderboard" button ("Tab" for me) doesnt do anything either.

I really dont know why this is happening and if this is intended or not.

osu! version: Lazer 2024.1009.1

Thanks in advance <3

Currently there is no way to disable it. We are aware of frequent complaints about this matter but last I heard this was a conscious decision because the leaderboard is considered to be an integral element of online play.

thank you very much for the reply

thjis is a stupid decision, why cant yall let the player decide?

Seconding this. Very stupid decision. It can be disabled in classic, so why not Lazer?

I am in shambles about the fact that I can't turn it off, I find it really distracting personally, but at least I can understand the intent behind it. But I'd still prefer for it to be toggle-able, with it just being set on by default.

The leaderboard is an integral element of online play, but is less relevant while actually playing a beatmap. Seeing everyone move around distracts from gameplay. Please reconsider!

I really hope you can re-consider, as someone with ADHD I'm easily distracted especially when the leaderboard is constantly moving and seeing myself as no.1 makes me nervous. So, I always have it off in stable.

+1 re-consider

Last consensus on this is that we will be adding a way to hide the leaderboard, but there will be some other unhideable HUD element to distinguish multiplayer from offline play. My intention is for it to be there but not to be intrusive.

I wanted the option to hide the multiplayer leaderboards as well but after thinking about it, maybe add an option for it to not update so often? Maybe you can choose between instant updates or updates every 30 seconds or so, so it can still serve it's purpose without being super distracting when there's multiple players moving up and down all the time.

I'm confused on why multiplayer would need to be distinguished from solo. What purpose does that even serve?

Could you move the multiplayer leaderboard into the same HUD layer as the other overlays, so it follows the global HUD visibility settings and can be toggled with Shift + Tab? Also, when “Hide” is enabled, please ensure the leaderboard is fully hidden—even in multiplayer lobbies. This would keep the screen clutter-free during play while still letting us switch it back on when we need it.
