UltraStar Deluxe Release candidate is ready to leave the dock, ending the public beta state of your favorite karaoke game.
Many improvements were made since our previous versions:
- Platform independent (Mac, Linux, Windows)
- Visualisations with projectM
- Mouse and unicode support
- Video preview
- Background videos and music in the GUI
- Microphone configuration assistance
- And many more other enhancements…
This is the last step before introducing the final 1.1 version, continuing the development and revealing our plans for future versions of ultrastar deluxe. Help us on our last step.
Due to massive changes in our game we need to update …:
- … Translations: Some translations are incomplete, so please help us to complete them!
If there is a “ToDo” marker in a language file, we would love you for translating those sections and pass us your result. You could even do new translations if your language is not yet available. If you got any question, do not hesitate: Just see “Get Help!” for different ways to contact us.
More content, even prettier
Go ahead and see what the new skin system is able to do, play around with the new party mode and the lua plugins. You will soon be able to create your own game content which we would like you to share with everyone from our community and maybe even include your own theme or plugin in our next release. Still there are also many unknown artists out there, help them to find their way into our game and create some free songs for UltraStar Deluxe!

The RC ist really great! Thank you very much for all the work. It’s a big step in the big world of Ultrastar
Thank you for this great job !
But there is a problem in the menu “party mode – enter player and teamname”, when you clic on previous (for example, you want to change 2 players for 1 players), with the mouse, so, the number don’t change and it go on the next page…
Sorry for my English !
Have a nice day
Thanks!
This new build is fantastic !!
Great improvement !
Thank you so much !
This version dont work under Win7 Home Premium 64Bit (German). -.-
Hey,
can you explain what you mean by “dont work”.
Could you please post in our forum,
so that we can try to find the problem (and maybe fix it)?

Polish font with letters like ą,ę,ć,ź… doesn’t work. Instead of proper letters like mentioned before there are strange symbols. Can I choose another custom font than three build-in because none of them works with this letters.
Are you sure that files are saved with UTF8 encoding?
mar753:
prawdopodobnie problem o którym piszesz wynika z używania plików zakodowanych w CP1250. Odszukaj plik config.ini i znajdź linijkę Encoding=Auto. Zamień ją na Encoding=CP1250 i zobaczy czy widzisz dobrze polskie znaki. Jeżeli wszystko będzie działać to napisz tutaj że jest ok.
a ja nie moge wgrac innych opiosenek. Nie dzialaja mi ;/
Jestem w trakcie konwersji kodowania do utf-8 polskich utworów. Myślę, że do końca tygodnia skończę, więc jak ktoś będzie zainteresowany to udostępnię.
Hey,
it’d be great if you could stick to english language,
cause other users might be interested in your solutions.
Niestety UTF-8 nie idzie w parze z Ultrastar Managerem – powywalał mi nagłówki #TITLE z plików. Kontynuować nie będę (póki co). Zobaczymy co się pojawi w pełnej wersji.
thank you so much for updating usdx!
Using the ubuntu ppa to use the RC, but I have no audio in the game… any ideas? Maybe a dependency that the package doesn’t require, but the game needs?
Unbelieveable great work done guys!
Thanks a lot for your endless power in development!
Hi!!!!
I found the solution to the problem with polish characters. All the old txt files I had with my polish songs have wrong encoding. It is enough to open those files in notepad, then go to ‘save as’ and on the bottom of save dialog box choose ‘encoding:UTF-8′.
PS. The best solution is to write program in c# which will handle this problem for us
Witam,
Żeby rozwiązać problem z polskimi czcionkami wystarczy każdy plik tekstowy do piosenki otworzyć w notatniku i zapisać ponownie zmieniając kodowanie na utf-8.
PS. Polecam napisać program w c#, który zrobi to za nas w ułamek sekundy
Quisiera comentar que descargue la ultima versión que esta disponible de Ultrastar y comencé a tener problemas de audio, especificamente con el microfono creo… resulta que al comenzar un tema sea cual sea, comienza a acoplarse y chilla mucho…. el sonido es muy parecido a cuando uno acerca un microfono al amplificador ………. ademas de esto si pongo audifonos y estoy en esta version de Ultrastar ya sea en una canción o en el menu, logro escuchar todo el ruido ambiente de mi entorno ….. incluso escucho 2 veces lo que yo hablo …. todo esto no me pasaba con la versión anterior de Ultra…….. espero se entienda mi problema…. Que puedo hacer ….. hay alguna configuracion en el programa para esto ?????
salu2
Someone might wanna translate Rodrigos comment to help us understanding the problem
Just got something about mic and sound problems, so try to look in Tools – Options – Sound for “Microphone Playback”, if enabled, then disable it.
Else try to update your sound card drivers.

But is there another way to have Ultrastar for linux than the ppa ? what about an usdx for debian… ?
