Recently my laptop broke and i have to use my old pc with Windows XP, i downloaded osu and it keeps looping the update screen thingy. Can i get some advice on how to fix it?

xp is no longer supported

provide update logs (located in the folder osu is trying to install to, in subfolder called "logs", post update.log here)

Bump~

You can manually download and put the required file into your osu! folder. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x17jM9fnbyfbGM9vY6H54UXWECSILwlY/view?usp=sharing (that should be the required file) do know this is not an official download / fix, attempt at your own risk.

Apparently you can also just create a blank file and name it "discord-rpc.dll" and it'll "work". Though this may have adverse effects to your client. But I haven't seen any reported.

Just make sure you have file extensions enabled if you create that file manually, or at least make sure the actual file type is changed, and it isn't just discord-rpc.dll.txt"
