This started happening just now, haven't really touched anything but restarted comp after getting an error about audio/sound cards while playing. I have tried repairing osu and restarting but they both don't seem to work... Any help would be appreciated!

Problem Details:

System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.

osu! version: 20170731.2 (latest)

You most likely have a beatmap with an invalid character in the path. If you have imported any beatmaps recently, those would be the first to check. The path should not contain any of the characters in the picture below.



Navigate to your osu! folder (default path is C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\osu!) and look through the Songs folder for any folders that contain the characters listed above.
