I was trying to get into the test build
then there was an error about a beatmap problem thing and the test build crashed and launched the updater
After that when i log in on the main client 1000 of my beatmaps were gone(from 6667 beatmaps to 5500) (most are recently downloaded) and even after redownloading the beatmaps my local replays were gone too.....
I am wondering if this only happens to me
And i will be glad if this is restorable

Not too sure how this can happen, but it's hard to say what happened. the test version stores its database to a separate file, so in theory they should never conflict.

I noticed the file is still inside the song folder...

Notice that there are 2 versions of that song but the game only displays 1

But it isnt showing up in the game.
Ive tried pressing F5 many times

This is the newest thread on the issue so I'll use this for my post.

There's another thread that has little information (and my original post on this) here: t/92737

So the same thing happened to me, kind of. None of my beatmaps went missing that I know of, but all my local scoreboards were wiped clean. I figured out how to do it just a bit ago. It might not be the most direct way but these steps worked for me.

1. Open osu! public build.
2. Play a beatmap. Be sure to check "save local replay". I played this one: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/54675 (Hard)
3. Observe the score in your local scoreboard.
4. Open osu! test build.
5. Press play; it processes beatmaps.
6. Observe that the score from the first map is not stored locally. This is probably intentional?
7. Play another beatmap. Be sure to check "save local replay". I played this one: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/41770 (Easy)
8. Observe the score in your local scoreboard.
9. Open osu! public build.
10. Check your local scoreboards. None of them have scores in them. Not the maps you just played and not any other maps you have.

The only workaround to restore these is to double-click replays stored in the data/r folder but that's a pain when there are thousands in there.

Here's a zip of screenshots in case they're helpful in some way. http://puu.sh/V1ar

edit: flipped steps 5 and 6, then added a step between 4 and 5

I noticed that opening test build creates a backup copy of your local scores (it's named as scores.db.bak). Probably there's a chance that the scores.db format is different between test and public build.

You can remove the glitched score.db and rename the backup by removing the ".bak" extension.

I don't have a scores.db.bak.

I ended up restoring most of my scoreboards by writing a script to rapidly open every replay in my Data/r folder but I'd still like to see this issue fixed properly.
