[h3]The "Muse Music Pack" is now out featuring 5 DLC songs and a brand new Experience![/h3]

Join us for an interstellar journey with Muse as we present five tracks including their best-selling single of all time and spanning twelve years of their career from 2006 to 2018.

Available for purchase now, this pack pays tribute to these incredible British electro-rockers - influenced by electronic, progressive and glam rock, classical and rock opera, they blend these styles into a truly distinctive Muse sound, topped by Matt Bellamy’s soaring vocals.

Included in this pack is a tailored Synth Riders Experience for their massive hit, “Starlight”, a truly epic intergalactic rock ballad. Set sail across the oceans of space and time that separate a traveller from his loved ones, while he has a great “black hole revelation” of what truly matters in life and love.

Check out the trailer:

[h3]“Muse Music Pack" features 5 paid DLC songs:[/h3]

• Starlight + Experience
  
• Uprising
  
• Madness
  
• Pressure
  
• Reapers
  

You can grab each song separately, buy the entire Music Pack, or the "Complete Collection" with all the DLC songs for an even bigger discount!

While we are committed to continuing to add new, free music for you with our compilation packs, the nature of music licensing is complex! In this case, being a dedicated artist pack, we are unable to give away these Muse songs for free.

We hope you will enjoy the new Music Pack! You are invited to join our Community on Discord and write a review to support the development.

[h2]Twitch Integration[/h2]
- Common request queue command shortcuts added to !close and !open the request queue, to go with existing !top and !oops commands.
- Improvements to !srr search algorithm:

* OST (for the game's soundtrack) is a searchable term now as well as the unique ID (hash) of the song.
* You can use the full details of a map to add an exact request in the format (, )
* On identical maps (same song name, artist & mapper) the one with the newer modified timestamp will be used (handy for testing maps which you've created!).
* If a search returns multiple results, that result can be selected by the person who submitted the request when using its index number, starting from 1. The index to results can continue to be used until a new request is added without using the old index:

[h2]Bug Fixes & Improvements
[/h2]
- When a score upload fails, the game will now retry twice more before giving up.
- Filters corrected to show only cross-platform player scores.

- Fix for intermittent black screen affecting custom songs, particularly seen in multiplayer.

[h2]Accessibility Improvements for Color Selections[/h2]
We've made quite a few changes to the color selection screen in Settings > Color:

• All colours may be selected from the picker or by direct entry of RGB hex values.
  
• Each note type may now have a different note texture selected, to aid visibility for players needing extra contrast which doesn't rely on color alone.
  
• Preview panel updates to show you how your selections will appear in game!
