I just recently built my new rig, and I should be able to play osu! with no problems. 32 gbs of DDR4 Ram, and a Nvidia GeForce GTX1080 graphics card. But osu! won't even open and after a lot of experimenting it has begun to annoy me. Any suggestions?

Moving to Help. I suggest you read the General Discussion Guidelines. This gives a run down of every subforum and it's contents.

Anyways, for the actual problem in hand, do you know what version you're on?

Did you install your Graphics Drivers yet?

I did, nothing happened

Try running the game in compatibility mode
Method 1: Launch Repair Dialog
  1. Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard.
  2. While holding Shift, double click the osu! icon on your desktop.
  3. Continue holding Shift until you see the recovery dialog prompt.
  4. From there, under Renderer, check "Compatibility mode"
Method 2: Shortcut
If you have the "repair osu!" Shortcut, opening that also works.

Method 3: Config Shortcut
If you don't have the "repair osu!" Shortcut, you can create one instead.
  1. Right click osu!.exe > Create a shortcut
  2. Open properties of the shortcut
    1. Select then Alt + Enter or
    2. Right click > Properties
  3. Set Target to ...\osu!.exe -config
  4. Press OK then open the shortcut

Method 4: Text document
You can also force the updater to run by creating a new text document in your osu! folder called "help". Right-click in an empty space in your osu! folder, and choose New > Text Document.

Name it help and then run osu! to start the updater in forced maintenance mode.
