improperly initialised realm after resetting storage to default location

[ILW8]

Type

Game behaviour

Bug description

If osu!'s storage is set to a non-default location and that location either becomes inaccessible or gets deleted, the user is prompted with a dialog to reset to the default storage location. When the user presses the reset button, osu!'s storage is reset to its default location but legacy rulesets among other things are missing in the new realm.

Everything works again after a game restart.

Another thing, if the default storage path already exists and contains a valid database, clicking the reset button here will create a new database and start from fresh. I think osu! should at least try to find and use an existing database if it exists

Your logs don't seem to have anything about the error you encountered. I'd expect to see at least:

osu/osu.Game/IO/OsuStorage.cs

Lines 115 to 116 in df5b389

	if (error != OsuStorageError.None)
	Logger.Log($"Custom storage location could not be used ({error}).");

They are also missing log headers.

If possible could you please provide the full logs?

among other things are missing in the new realm.

Could you please list other things?

It shouldn't, there's no logic to do that..

Tried again looks like logs end up in two places:

• first part of the logs is written to the custom storage location's logs directory
• second part of the logs (after clicking "Reset") end up written to the default storage location's logs directory.

Yes, well client.realm is completely empty after resetting the storage location. Whereas deleting client.realm and starting the game populates 4 Skins (the default skins), 10 RulesetSettings, 4 Rulesets, and 261 KeyBindings

I'm not sure what led me to this conclusion, but I'm unable to reproduce this anymore. What I do remember is that at some point, my main installation's client.realm (at default storage location) was gone and I could not find any recent backup realm file

Easiest solution is likely to restart the game. Probably dependent on #26558.
