Problem Details:
Hello! This is my first post on the forums. I have a problem. Apparently there's a new update and when i try to update, it says
"Unable to relpace file osu!.exe. please check this file isn't still open then try running the updater again"
Those are the exact words, replace is misspelled like that in the message.
I have tried deleting the Osu!.exe files and then try updating but that doesn't work either, a "Osu!.exe_new" just appears and i try deleting that and it still doesn't work.

osu! version: 20140725.10 (This is untouched, i don't know what version it is)

Did you try to delete osu!.exe and run osume.exe in that case? Also, as the error suggest, try to find osu!.exe in the Task Manager, under Process tab, and kill it either from ... clicking in Task Manager or from cmd.

http://gyazo.com/92c419b3fe5c900b5663006ae4323031 I just did what you suggested and it still doesn't update/work.

This is annoying because 2 out of 3 times i open Osu! now, it automatically restarts because there is an update and it just leads to a failed update.
Edit: Now it's like 100% of the time, it automatically restarts...

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? it's still happening :(
If I get lucky, it doesn't forcefully close osu to do a fail update and i can play until I close it, then it's usually back to forcefully closing osu!
