[Archived] osu! randomly closing

Almost every time I alt+tab back into osu! or go from edit mode > main menu the client restarts. It doesn't appear to be crashing, because it doesn't throw an error, and maps don't need to re-import, and scores are saved.

Possibly related to t/185079 or a failed attempt at fixing it, except this happens to me in both full screen and windowed.
osu! version: 20140305.2 (latest)

It hasn't been attempted to fix yet. I don't think your issue is very common or more people would be complaining about it. How do you normally play osu!?

Fullscreen 1920x1080, only have a single monitor plugged in. Still happening. After being alt+tabbed and clicking on the tray icon (or just tabbing back in, even) it restarts. No crash reports, nothing. I started to think perhaps it was something wrong with my config file, something I may have edited causing it. I don't recall ever editing anything other than custom frame limiter one time, though.

Currently in the process of installing updated nvidia drivers.

Still happening after updating drivers. Ran driver sweeper, so it can't be a leftover component causing it. Even tried lowering CPU and GPU clocks, in case it was just something shitting itself. This is the only game where this occurs.

Here are my specs, for what it's worth.

This happens to me a lot too. I noticed it when I was livestreaming a while back: I would alt-tab between osu! and stuff people linked me, and osu! would often close/reopen itself when I tried to go back to it.
moshiri
in my case,

1. start osu with full screen 1440 x 940
2. playing few hours
3. Alt + Tab change to desktop to see skype or browsing
4. Alt + Tab back to Osu
5. CRUSHED ( it happened at least over 2 times while few hours )


this update so nice. cool fonts, useful Option UI,
Peppy could make reconsider us real life that stop such a good music games.

Thanks Peppy!

Seems to be happening more and more. I don't know what other information I can provide, this is fucking mind boggling.

I'm going to bump this every day until someone says something useful.

Daily reminder that this problem hasn't gone away.
TheVileOne
I don't know what to suggest. I've never heard of someone having a issue with spontaneously closing. I will bother the other teammates if they don't get to this thread first.

It's very annoying. Happens to me all the time in fullscreen mode going from menu -> editor -> menu.


julchiar
Editor doesn't support fullscreen so it jumps into borderless window every time you launch it. One of the recent patches introduced a change that makes the game go back into fullscreen upon leaving the editor instead of having you go into the options menu and go back to fullscreen manually.
The 'closing and reopening' you experience is the client switching into fullscreen.

No I'm talking about the client LITERALLY RESTARTS. As in, it disappears from the taskbar, and the giant pink osu! logo pops up to tell you that it's launching.

Doh, that's odd. Doesn't seem to happen to me.

apaffy is experiencing a different issue than I, from what I can tell.

This is what I get, several times an hour. Excuse the amazing quality, but you can clearly see what (lack of) events lead up to the "crash", if you can even call it that.

Just tried on test build, same dealio.
EineKrone
My osu also closes randomly(or just I didn't notice the pattern).
No crash report window appears, and it doesn't restart by itself.

1366x768 fullscreen, with the d3d9 antilag fix. no framerate limit, limited to 60 on osu(laptop user).
Any more details which could help? :?:

still happens

I haven't had that enabled (in the directory) for a while, so I'm not sure that it's this. At first, I was sure this was the culprit.

this happend to me already twice

I've already posted the problem on our issue board. Someone with access to the dev builds will know why this would happen. I don't know enough about this part of Windows to be of help. My thoughts is that the only way the game could restart is if the application tells it to restart. I don't know if this could be affected by drivers, and any other program that could cause this would need to have permission to close other programs without informing you.

The only part of the application that can instruct the game to restart is osu!me, the options menu, and the error dialog window. Perhaps you have a corrupted osu! file that is treating the reentering of the game as an update command. Removing the affected file and recreating it should fix such a problem. I don't know if that is even possible.
