Problem details: Osu executes and the osu updater says my client is being updated and then immediately says my osu is up to date and then the window closes and then the osu logo appears on my screen for 2-3 seconds and closes and nothing happens after that, this happened when i downloaded 2 of the same maps and put them in my osu songs folder and pressed F5. it said checking new files and crashed immediately. Don't know what to do so I put the error log in here.
