Problem details:
I have started experiencing this about a week or two ago.
Basically, on only some maps, the first note of the map will freeze before the approach circle closes in for a seemingly random time, which makes hitting the first note incredibly hard.
Closing and opening osu only seems to make this bug "change" maps, but its the only way to make it stop happening on any given map, at least for me.
Both the point at which the note freezes and how long it stays frozen seem to be random from play to play, making it even more unpredictable and harder to hit the first note.
What's stranger, if I'm recording my screen with Window's xbox screen recording thing (the one in the Win+G menu) the issue stops completely, but I get way worse performance so I can't possibly always be recording if I want to play.
