Problem Details:
It's been many month since I change my avatar.
My new avatar didn't want to update on osu!client.


Video or screenshot showing the problem:

osu! version: 20170222.3 (latest)

It should take a little bit to update, but normally a restart should fix it. Is it still not updating?

I have the same problem.I tried to restart the game and sign out and then sign in but it doesn't change.How can I fix it?Also can you tell me if this picture is inappropriate?Because I am not sure and I am new with the game for about a month. http://beta.assistiranimes.net/img/8f121ce07d74717e0b1f21d122e04521.jpg

I solved the problem by going in the game options and then go to maintenance and click the Run osu! updater.It will close the game and then it will restart with your new avatar. 8-) I think I helped you shiranui48

When did you change it? It can take a while to update on the client, but if it changed on the website you shouldn't have to worry

When I did change it? It's been a loooong daay :) | My avatar changed on osu!website but not on the client.

Should I reinstall the osu!client again? :'3

Sorry for not answering guys.Strange that it didn't helped but it worked for me.You shouldn't reinstall the game because you will lose the songs but not your achievements and ranks.I had reisntalled the game because i had a problem with saving the songs(because i didn't open them with the game client) and i know that you keep your progress but not the songs.If it doesn't fix with nothing else either with the way i told you or from the options of the game reinstall the client.But i don't guarantee you that it will fix even then.I just hope that you will fix the problem and keep playing the game because it's worth it.

I found a way how to fix your problem.

Navigate to your osu! directory and look for Data folder (It's a hidden folder, so you should set the visibility of hidden folders in system settings first). Afterwards, there is a folder called simply "a" full of files without any extension. Find the number by your profile ID (in your case it is 7856087) and restart osu. The avatar should be finally changed. Try it and let me know if you succeeded.

I've found my osu!ID, then what should I do before I restart the client?

I forgot to write you have to delete it. Forgive my stupidity. Then it should be fine.

Thanks shiranui48 for the help. :) Eventually my way didn't work (i can't understand how it worked from the beginning) but yours it worked instantly without even restarting the game!You are the best!But i have one question.Will i have to do this every time i want to change my profile picture or not?I don't mind to do it again because it is very simple with the way you tell! 8-) I am simply just wondering.

This thread is 2 years old. Please make a new one next time you are having issues.

If you just recently changed your avatar on the site, it may take a bit to change in-game. Give it a while. If no avatars are appearing at all, that's most likely an internet issue (maybe on an ISP level) that usually resolves itself over time as well, but it won't hurt to try clearing your DNS cache and maybe renewing your IP.
