How to open OSZ file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OSZ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install osu!

In this case, you should first verify that the osu! application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name osu! into the system search engine.

Step 2. Create association of osu! with OSZ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OSZ file still does not use the osu! program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the osu! application as the default for handling the OSZ file.

Step 3. Update osu! to the latest version

If, despite the association of the osu! program with the Osu! Beatmap Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the peppy website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OSZ file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OSZ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OSZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OSZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OSZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OSZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact peppy
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OSZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the OSZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OSZ file again. However, some background programs may block the OSZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
