So it's been a few weeks since I played this game. I was running the game as usual, going through patch downloads and stuff. But when the splash screen comes up, the game instantly crashes. I had to dig Event Viewer for the error message and the following came up:

Application: osu!.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.AccessViolationException

osu! version: 20150509.1cuttingedge (but I did tried with using the safe mode feature by holding Shift during the splash screen, and changing to any version of the build doesn't do anything, be it Stable or Beta. No re-downloads at all)

While I can't really say anything about the crash itself...

Switch release streams and then click the "repair osu!" button? That should work. Otherwise grab the installer, rename it from osu!install.exe to osu!.exe, place it in your osu! folder, and run it.

Tried redownloading. It works fine on Stable build, but when I moved onto Cutting Edge build again, the problem persists.

Manually install .net framework 4.5 and above and perform windows update after it.

Update or re-install your graphics drivers and try again. If it still doesn't work report it in the cuttingedge thread (including the error message and whatever may be relevant). t/259747

I already have .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed and fully updated from Windows Update before this issue appears.

Well, that sucks. That means I prolly would stick on the Stable build, because my laptop is no longer supported by the manufacturer anymore, and installing the driver provided by Intel may cause BSoD randomly, so I'm stuck with outdated Intel GMA driver. It's already about 8 years old, so yeah. I guess I should consider getting a new laptop...

Anyways though, I don't have anymore error messages I can provide, than what's posted above.

How about 4.5.2?

Post it in that thread...
When the new OpenGL implementation will roll down to stable (which it undoubtably will eventually) you won't be able to play at all anymore on that PC if whatever the issue with this is doesn't get fixed.

Doesn't sound like your device can even be capable of running OpenGL.

Sorry, it was a typo. I had 4.5.2 installed, not 4.5.1.

I'll post there anyway, but I do believe this might be the right time for me to get a new one since the current one I have is pretty old.

It does run, but rather unstable with older Intel drivers.

osu! will run properly only when under VSync OpenGL mode, but there's a very huge input delay (almost 0.5 seconds!!) if I used that mode. Although I do question why it was running properly on Cutting Edge build 3 weeks ago under 120fps...

Which Intel GMA do you have?
