New Beatmaps not loading (May have found a fix?)
liamdugan opened this issue · comments
So I know that this release is not being supported but there has been an issue bugging me for a while, namely the inability to load new beatmaps. Usually the game loads new maps fine, but at some point along the way it gets broken. After that point, when loading a new beatmap, the game just sits on the loading screen forever, it moves the .osz file into the songs folder, but never unpacks it into a folder. This will make you unable to play any maps until you manually go in and delete the unpacked file.
I think I may have found a fix. I think the issue is caused by a certain number of maps being skeletons (that is to say that they have a folder within the "Songs" folder, and they have a .mp3 and a background, but no .osu beatmap file). I know that skeletons get created by choosing the "Delete all visible beatmaps" at song select, but I think there are other ways as well. After a certain number of skeletons, new maps will not load and the indexing of the thumbnails of beatmaps at song select will also be off.
To get rid of skeletons:
- hit f5 at song select (EDIT: this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, I'm not sure why)
- If the song that starts playing mysteriously does not have a beatmap associated with it, then you have a skeleton
- look at the name of the song playing in the top right corner of the main title screen, the song name should be the name of the .mp3 in the skeleton, this will help you find it
- Go to your applications, right click on osu, click "Show Package Contents" then navigate to your songs folder and search for that .mp3 file's name
- Once you find the beatmap, double check to make sure it's a skeleton (no .osu file inside) then manually delete
- Hit f5 again to repeat
Not sure if there could be a fix for the "Delete all visible beatmaps" option creating skeletons or not, I'll try to see what I can do, but any help is appreciated.
Same issue. I can't find skeletons using f5 though. It just processes beat maps like normal.
Same problem. But I don't get what you mean by "Skeletons" and plus I did everything you prompted us to do (people with the problem) but its still the same (For Example: The New Airman Map Is Giving Me Loads Of Problems)
