Describe the bug: Attempt to launch om aarch64 ubuntu linux does not succeed. What have failed:
- osu failed to load acodec-related libraries, as my distribution does not have
libavformat.so(and others) symlinked to actual library, onlylibavcodec.so.58is symlinked (for a concrete ABI version). Adding symlinks fixes the issue - after adding symlinks to avcodec-related libraries errors on video decoding appeared in the log (shown below)
- osu failed to load libstbi.so (probably due to lack of version compiled for aarch64)
- osu stalled while loading with 100% cpu load. As
runtime.logstops atLoading SocialOverlay..., I guess that it does cause the issue
Screenshots or videos showing encountered issue:
osu! stalls in this state:
