Problem details:
Hopefully not a duplicate, but I couldn't find anything similar here so...
https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/825377 (Look in the comments)
This problem is probably caused by a max path limit forced in the "C:\Users\your_name\_something_\Local\osu!\Songs" folder. (It's not a Windows issue either, I removed the 260 character path limit as well)
You are most likely getting this problem if "your_name" and "_something_" are very long as well...
If you don't see the problem on your PC, just rename the beatmap folder downloaded on the above link with something even longer (or the .osu file inside)
To fix the problem you have to manually edit the folder with a shorter name (This is painful if you plan to add multiple beatmaps folders inside a "long name subfolder" put into the Songs folder)
What happens with this map (or other maps inside "long name subfolder"):
They are named by the game as "//" and usually listed as 0 star difficulty sort (or by just pressing F5 they will be instantly selected)
Attempting to open them will result in two different events based on how long their folder name/.osu file name is:
1)The map won't load and will trigger a "Can't open map" message
2)The map won't load and the game will constantly attempt to refresh songs indefinitely until you force close the game with task manager...
Video or screenshot showing the problem:
(I might add screenshots later, but they are not really needed...just download the beatmap above and try to make the beatmap folder name longer, if you don't get the same issue explained above)
