Problem Details: i opened up osu! the other day and it said something about a corrupt file attempting to repair it, then the game started. most of my maps won't calculate for difficulty and my collections are gone. randomly doesn't register notes when i hit them in taiko mode. not sure what to do, please help.
also when i play ranked songs it doesn't submit them.


Video or screenshot showing the problem:



osu! version: 20150109.1 (latest)

create a file called help.txt inside your osu! folder and run osu.exe

The collection.db has probably gone corrupt
You can try deleting osu.db when osu is closed for a full reprocess of everything when opening osu
Also, is your internet good?

To marco, what does the help.txt do? I have never heard of that xD

In your osu! folder, the first one.

Also, this is collection.db

The problem means there is corrupted data either in one of your .osu files or a file is named using an invalid character.

You will probably have to reinstall.

NEVER reinstall, that should never fix anything (words from peppy)
Instead, delete collections.db and osu.db

i have done these, still looks like nothing has changed, except my songs are calculated now. still drops notes alot, it's not my keyboard either. works fine on any other game.
