Was able to play osu! on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 + AMD Catalyst 12.8 + latest version of Wine (1.5, or whatever is listed on the site), without much issue at all.

I first did a 32-bit arch of Wine, installed dotnet20, did gdi and fonts, started osu! installer and let it fail, backed up the osume.exe file, started installer again (makes desktop shortcut I think), ran osume.exe, started osu! I also was using Gnome Classic with no effects.

I had the Shader box unchecked in options, resolution at 1024x768, FPS at 120 (menu and game), and I was able to play just fine for the most part. I say for the most part, because there was times where the entire game would hitch/pause for about a half a second, and then I would fail. Not sure if this was the game itself, Wine, something with my GPU/drivers, or maybe I had a spike in system activity...

osu! also worked fine with no corruption in DirectX mode, and had some minor border issue I think (not really a big deal at all) in OpenGL. Performance (aside from that hitching issue above) was great though in both modes.

I've got a few images, I was wondering if anyone could lend a hand.

I let it install. I run "osu.install.exe", it seems that it installed it in "Program Files (x86). So, I go in there, into osu folder, and all the files are there (dll's, xna framework etc.). When I try to run either "osu.exe" or "osume.exe", it doesn't seem to respond.

This smells like a pulseaudio problem. Try running task manager and killing pulseaudio before running osu! Also, if you've setup any customized audio interfaces disable them see if it works (if you're unsure about this, you didn't set up any).

Also, are you running osu on the Intel or AMD card, and what drivers do you have?

That's very odd. It means it tried to load both sets of drivers, although it's possible only 1 set worked. Could you upload the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to somewhere like http://pastebin.com so I can see the whole thing? Also post the output of "glxgears -info | grep -v EXT" if you can. Also also, you did install version 1.0-6 of the deb, right?

I really have no idea whether osu is running on the Intel card or the AMD card. I don't know how to check this so I really can't tell. My graphics driver is AMD Radeon 6600M and 6700M Series. I checked and didn't find any drivers for the Intel card anywhere here. So I think normally apps should run on the AMD card.

Irelia Lito wrote:

So after a bunch of mind-duckery I have finally managed to launch osu! in wine, but the problem I get is the game is incredibly laggy. It seems to happen whenever there is a new element to be rendered, so switching between songs, menus and other things are incredibly slow. FPS when everything is up is fine though.

And yes, the game is not playable due to this at all, I've ran many other games in the past and I know stuff like WoW has been working, so it's definitely not related to performance.

Any thoughts?

1. First, you'll need a 32-bit Wine prefix
   

   WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

2. At the bare minimum, you need dotnet20 to even start the installer or game, but gdiplus also helps fonts look nicer (but not required; may want to skip gdiplus for now if your internet connection is slow)
   

   winetricks dotnet20 gdiplus

   (it does not appear you can use Mono as a replacement to dotnet20)
   
3. Next, you want to download and start osu!'s installer
   

   wget 'http://osu.r-a-d.io/osu!install.exe'

   wine osu!installer.exe

4. On the installer, you want to press Next, Next, and then you want to stop (the installer should throw an error or something, don't click Don't Send)
   
5. Go to your Wine's Program Files folder
   

   /home/USERNAME/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files

   (replace USERNAME with your username)
   
6. Take the osu! folder and drag it to your Desktop or somewhere safe
   
7. Now go back to osu!'s installer and hit Don't Send, Close, and then Finish
   
8. Now put the osu! folder you put somewhere safe, back in Wine's Program Files folder
   
9. Go into the osu! folder (either GUI or Terminal) and run osume.exe
   

   wine osume.exe

10. Quickly uncheck the Automatically start osu! after updating box (you might not have to do this anymore; might be unchecked by default)
    
11. Wait for it to get done, then hit the start osu! button
    
12. From here, I've had very inconsistent results. Sometimes osu! would just crash on first startup, other times it would start fine the first time. If it doesn't start successfully the first time, go back and try it again.
    
13. osu! should now be opened, in a borderless fullscreen mode. You should be prompted to login, but the login box is behind osu!. If this happens, you want to just press esc to skip the login.
    
14. Now go into Options, and set a Windowed resolution. Your screen may then just lock up, but osu! should still be active. You want to press Esc, Esc, 1 in that order (back out of Options to Main Menu, then Exit Game confirm).
    
15. Re-open osu!, it should be windowed, and you should be able to login just fine now.
    
16. From here, osu! is pretty playable for me in this state, aside from two problems (and a third that rarely happens). The problems are:
    
    
    1. Combo Fire renders weird (wrong colors, faded, etc.)
    2. Usernames on the in-game scoreboard (while you're actually playing a song) show as corrupted, along with the song title when it first appears
    3. Combo popouts (pipi) appear garbled (this is the rare one)
17. I've been messing with osu! for a few hours, and have no idea how to consistently fix all three issues, but I managed to randomly fix the last two issues (not combo fire). It involves basically re-doing osu's settings until it "just" works (deleting your user cfg, re-opening osu!, and doing the resolution stuff). Hoping it just doesn't break again later though.
    
    OpenGL mode still doesn't appear to work either.
    
    I also have a Radeon HD 7850 GPU and I'm using AMD's 13.3 Beta 3 drivers.

I'm sure peppy could port it all over in just a few months (less?) if he dropped everything and worked on nothing but porting it. Keep in mind that he's regularly updating and maintaining the game though, and since wine works so well it's not huge on his to-do list.

There are so many threads about linux, because people want to play Osu! in it! It was never difficult to get the game running in linux, it is difficult to get it to run well. I had it running okay and now I am getting an unhandled exception in .NET. I really wish Osu was available in my primary OS. I hate having to boot in Windows just so that I can play Osu, especially when my other games such as League of Legends/Portal 2/Skyrim run fine with Wine..

I get that Osu is free software. But I'd definitely pay for the game if it means that it will be available in linux.

Edit:

The unhandled exception was due to me having dual monitors. Apparently launching the game on anything but the primary monitor causes it to crash (with Wine).

Are you installing to a clean 32-bit Wine prefix and using a modern version of Wine (at least 1.4)

Hmm; if you get complaints about the architecture not being compatible or anything along those lines, you're likely not using a 32-bit prefix. If you're using a x86_64 Linux distro, and Wine 1.5, it defaults to a 64-bit prefix.

One pretty easy way to actually check though; look in your .wine (or wherever the prefix is) folder and check for a Program Files (x86) folder. If it exists, it's a 64-bit prefix, and won't work.
