Problem details:
osu! keeps crashing or freezing whenever I: finish a play, go back to the main menu, or sometimes just in the middle of a map.
This caused a lot of my plays not submitting, because osu! freezes and crashes right before the result screen.
Sometimes, when I'm in my map selection screen, the maps' bgs wouldn't show the correct bg (e.g. maps will show the bg of the map above it, or will not show any bg)

I tried using other skins, I tried beta and cutting edge version, I tried using repair osu!, I tried deleting all my broken maps. They all give me the same problem.
This only recently started happening, but the thing that annoys me the most is how often this happen, this happens at least once every 10-20 mins.
When it does happen, if my osu! doesn't crash instantly, it will blackscreen my entire monitor and making me unable to use that monitor, I can only open task manager if it just happens to be on my second monitor.

It still continues to use resources, it can sometimes continue to play music, but it won't fail me, and it won't do anything.

Video or screenshot showing the problem:



osu! version: Beta 20211224 (latest)
osu! version: Stable 20211225 (latest)
osu! version: Cutting Edge 20211223 (latest)

(Do you happen to have overwolf installed? If so, please disable osu! in the 'game overlays' setting in overwolf, and see how that works. Or you can just make sure to turn it off/close it out entirely when playing osu!, try this before below, to see if overwolf is the issue.

This also goes for discord, which I see is active in the image you provided.)

Please use the link below to find the crash log. Once found please copy and paste the contents into this thread.

Thanks, I've closed overwolf completely and it seems to have fixed the issue. If crashes start to happen again, I'll update the post. Though I do find it weird as I had overwolf on for some months now, and yet this has only been happening since the past week.

Seems that there has been a recent update with overwolf's overlay/app that conflicts with osu! Glad to help :).

I had the overlay disabled all the time, but it was still crashing on me. To stop osu! from crashing randomly, what I did was disable all the overlays for all games, including drivers and etc., and also disabled overwolfs' hardware acceleration setting. That resulted at the defeat of osu! crashes!! Finally, I can play at peace with no worries of crashing. THANK YOU!!!
