Osu: Triangles intro freezes with no audio device available

[notpushkin]

Describe the bug:

Builds successfully, but only black screen with the “osu!lazer development build” bar on the bottom is shown. Additional controls are shown on resizing window (resolution), pressing alt+enter (screen mode name) or scrolling (volume controls). No music is playing, so I think it's unrelated to #4068 or #5199 (and other similar issues).

Screenshots or videos showing encountered issue:

(Debug build behaves the same way)

osu!lazer version: 2019.823.0

I have tried both Debug and Release builds:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(pwd)/osu.Desktop/bin/Release/netcoreapp2.2" dotnet run --project osu.Desktop -c Release
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(pwd)/osu.Desktop/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.2" dotnet run --project osu.Desktop

Logs:

Release:

runtime.log

Debug:

I'd say there is likely an issue with audio playback on your system.

@peppy Probably it is: I've tried an older build, namely 2019.530.0, and it runs fine, but I've had to change the sound device in settings before sound appeared.

I still think the game should load at least to the main menu in this kind of “buggy” environments (so the user can do some basic troubleshooting like I did :)

Having a black screen on launch of newer builds is likely due to the new triangles intro sequence relying on the audio track (#5789 should resolve this).

Try changing the IntroSequence value to Circles in the game.ini config file of lazer and try launching again. You should be able to reach main menu.

I'm having this issue as well on Fedora 30

Doing this does fixes video but there is still no audio

Audio issue has probably to do with BASS itself

Expanding this in scope to make this issue a catch-all for freezes with the triangles intro, as this can happen on any platform given no audio device is picked up by BASS.
