I've reported this one to realm: realm/realm-dotnet#3458

Hi, @peppy! Could you provide a bit more details under relevant issue in realm core?

[peppy]

@yesseruser can you confirm things were working before upgrading to android 14? And could you give more details on how you upgraded (was this an official release from your manufacturer? is it beta?)

[bdach]

I guess for general information I won't get android 14 updates on my only test device until apparently November so I cannot test this at this time.

[yesseruser]

@peppy yes, before upgrading everything was working just fine.

Same experience with my Pixel 7a running Android 14 (build UP1A.231005.007, stable, installed through OTA).
Lazer version 2023.1008.1.

Thanks for confirming. It looks like another developer has run into the same issues, so it's safe to say it's not specific to our project. Let's wait for word from the realm team.

[peppy]

Looks like this is going to require changes from our end (see realm/realm-core#7037 (comment)).

I'm not really aware of the current situation with android storage, but are we not already storing internally? Is the user in this thread choosing to move their game storage elsewhere? If so, with this knowledge, we're going to have to either disable that functionality, or selectively only store user data files externally while having the database internal.

Which sounds completely fucked and destroys any portability of installation, but is what it is I guess.

Apparently not: https://github.com/ppy/osu-framework/blob/cb21c4efc4b6aa4143fb4b746fc5e25292432c49/osu.Framework.Android/AndroidGameHost.cs#L72-L73

The screwed part is going to be figuring out how to migrate users. Android docs on this are terrible, I can't understand any of it. There's like a flag to keep previous behaviour, but it doesn't work on android 11, unless you set another flag, or something??? So I can't personally act on this until I get OS upgrades on my test device.

[peppy]

Just waiting for the next release of android to ban the same file operations on the root filesystem, and destroy realm completely...

FWIW, osu! opens on Android 14 QPR1 beta on my Pixel 6a and someone on Pixel 7 with the graphics being weird:

The thing is the changes in QPR1 won't be in stable until December (or approximately 3 months)...

until I get OS upgrades on my test device.

Does your device support DSU?

Seems like the actual issue was linked there

[qwertyuiii-code]

and how to fix its issue?

[peppy]

There's no fix, please wait patiently.

osu! opens on my pixel after the November update.
However, the graphical glitches are still present.

Closing as resolved and tracking the graphical glitches in #25189.
