Descriptor Proposal

Name	lazer only
Short Description	Only allows leaderboard submission on the osu!lazer client.
Long Description	Maps that are "lazer only" can only have scores submitted to their leaderboard when played on the osu!lazer client. At the moment, the only way maps can have this requirement is by having a maximum score higher than the 32-bit integer cap of 2,147,483,647, usually through being extremely long gungathons. As development of osu!lazer continues, differences between the stable client and the lazer client are expected to grow, and with it the possible reasons for a map being lazer only. The "lazer only" status was added to osu! on 22nd June 2026, with THE ORAL CIGARETTES - Songs Compilation (Nevo) becoming the first ranked lazer only map on 2nd July 2026.

worth mentioning that object overflow (7000 objects if I'm not mistaken?) causes scorev2 to be triggered in stable, which would make it lazer only

That aside, seems like an easy win for a descriptor

stable score cap is 2.147 bil cause they use signed 32-bit ints right?
