After I had just downloaded the .dmg file and try to open it, a screen pops up saying that it can't be opened because it was not read. Can anyone help me with this?

So I didn't know that skins weren't working in this OS X beta release so I changed my skin and now I can't even access the game. Every time I start up osu!, it fails to open and I get an error window.

On June, July and August, osu! was working perfectly ! And after the mac update, osu! keep bugging and everything.
Please, can you do something about that ?
Because i really want to play online. Thank you.

Around 2 weeks ago (with the new update), my osu started to freeze when you select a song (after around.. 20 minutes or so of gameplay). Normally this wouldn't be a huge deal for me, but after every freeze I am unable to re-open it for over 15 minutes because osu! is still running, and force quitting it does not help.

I use Version 10.7.5.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

With the newest update, all my spinners disappeared, and my score screen was a little unaligned. o.o

However, when I went to mess around with the settings, I clicked on fullscreen, and then osu immediately crashed. From then, I couldn't start osu again since all that popped up when I clicked to open osu was an error screen, and trying to restart osu ended up with the same error screen.

Here's the error code if it helps with anything

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Unfortunately, with the new update, I can't seem to load any of my beatmaps. Guess I'll have to lay off the game for a while now. :(

Go to Advanced settings as in my guide above, but click Winetricks in it. Both CJK and All Fonts packages may help you. The ー symbol, as in コーヒー will still be displayed as a square. Only that one symbol.

If any further help needed, depressivethinking (at mark) gmail

I did that, now it just doesn't launch at all. I doubt it's related though, the error is "Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded." thanks for help with the fonts!

EDIT: works great! it wasn't launching because it was in a subdirectory of my Applications folder. kind of odd, but whatever.

Is it normal that there is no more score screen after finishing a map? If so, I find it quite annoying -.-

After downloading OSU and dragging it onto Application, when i open it and the updating process is complete, it keeps showing a small menu saying there's an error and gives me to options which are to restart now and quit osu, and restarting doesnt fix the problem, just keeps leading back to the same small menu

The Easy Way: download osu! from the link in the latest message.

The Hard Way: read the whole thread and make yourself your own bundle.

I've had Osu on a Windows PC for a few years (I played on and off for about a year before making this account), so i'm well experienced with skins, beatmaps, etc, so I already have skins, so on my Mac I manually placed them in the skins folder and on Osu when I tried to change my skin Osu crashed. Might wanna fix that :3

Also I would LOVE it if Taiko mode were up soon, I have a PC desktop and a Macbook and i'm on my laptop (macbook) alot at home, and would love to play taiko on it, but hey i'm no game developer so I don't know anything about this stuff X3

Every time when I load a beatmap, osu just says 'beatmap could not be loaded successfully'.

It is 10.8.3 that breaks it. I ran it on our iMac when it had 10.8.2. Worked fine, slightly laggy, but worked. Now the iMac has 10.8.3, and the game will not load just as mine doesn't.
Tristan9_old_1
Work in 10.8.3 but the mouse is all funny. IE it teleports sort of randomly during the game, quite annoying lol.

I tried using the InfinityRaw engine from The Porting Team to fix the performance issues and it went from 30 to roughly 160fps.
But still the mouse issue, I have no idea where it comes from tho :-\
lunase
That's a meaningless stuff.

OSU was created on .NET, this is only a virtual environment & .NET & OSU

So, there is no need to download and test it.
pinoychan51896
ok so the beta has been pretty buggy for awhile on my macbook and now its not even working anymore all together. whenever i try to start it up an error occurs and it either gives me the option to restart osu or exit. it wont even restart and the same screen comes up again. im pretty mad about this since its my favorite game on pc and now i dont have anything to pass time to. has this happened to anyone else? i wanna play osu again! r :cry:
Llian_old
I can get the songs on osu but I can't play them is there a fix for this or no?
roubz_old
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but when I open Osu, the game immediately tries to update which it then fails to do every time so the game crashes. When I open osu after disconnecting the computer to the internet. it works!!!! It doesn't try updating so it runs perfectly for me!

I am able to access all parts of the game until attempting to play a song. I keep getting the error "Beatmap could not be loaded successfully." I am able to load Beatmaps to osu! but this message pops up and i cannot play the songs. (OS X v. 10.6.8)

I have seen this in the forum as a question, however, I have not seen any solutions. Am I missing something?

I have uploaded a new build of the os x release at the same location as the last one. Unfortunately as this is a wrapper update, the update process isn't automatic, so you will need to copy your osu! data across to the new one. It shouldn't matter if you replace the whole osu! folder included in the new distribution.

You can find it here: http://osu.hiroto.eu/osu!.app.20130523.zip

Hey, whenever I move my cursor to the edges of the screen, they jump to the other side.
Is this supposed to happen?
If it is, then it works fine at x1 mouse sensitivity. However, if I increase the sensitivity, the mouse gets stuck switching between the two edges of the screen every time I go near a side. On the other hand, if I lower the sensitivity, the jump puts the cursor quite a bit away from the edge.

Also, is there a way to create new beatmaps in the iOS version. It doesn't allow the dragging of files into the window. Is there an alternate way to add mp3 files?

It works fine, but when i go to play a song, the health will load, but about halfway it stops, and the song doesn't load. Any Help????

Is it just me or did something odd happen to the fonts?

i cant change resolution without osu crashing and all settings dont save
twosushi
Osu freezes quite frequently in 1.8.3
I also cannot change the resolution to fullscreen, it just exits.
:(
Cyclohexane
Game often crashes when switching from and to fullscreen/windowed. Also crashed when switching from DirectX to OpenGL and didn't save.

Pretty solid outside of that, although I'm worried about my framerate which is really low compared to osu! on my Windows 7 partition. (~100fps as opposed to 1000+).
The text is pretty screwed up also, I think this is a recurring problem, it cuts out and doesn't display all the way.
Also uploading the screenshot made osu! freak out, the window completely disappeared and I had to kill it using cmd-Q.

I think that's about it for now. Oh, by the way, I'm on 10.7.5.
Creyslz
Osu tries and fails to update for me now. It runs the update and then starts the program, but it goes back to updating and the cycle continues.

because there is no public version for Linux, based on gnome? :( Linux users have to do many steps to run osu! in linux
This, but I'd rather be it QT5 based instead of GTK, so that it looks and runs the same on all DE's

But yeah, I love the game but I can't play it until you make a Linux version as my Windows partition is exactly how big it needs to be for Windows 7 + Photoshop, and I refuse to go through the trouble of re-installing Linux on a smaller partition size in order to add Osu... or anything else for that matter :P. I am very much so looking forward to a Linux version for this reason :D

//On the subject of the thread
Good job with porting a game for windows to Mac though. I haven't read trough all the comments on this post but I know it's not exactly easy to port from one OS to the other so if it plays any songs, I call that a success ^.^
prince_david
What would I need to look into in order to change the screen resolution?
Cyclohexane
When booting osu! in full screen today, controlling the cursor was impossible, it kept fidgeting around a lot until I eventually switched to windowed which fixed it.

Yeah, I don't know the technological details but I think Macs or the Wineskin Wrapper don't do OpenGL thus why it don't save.

I can't upload my beatmap using the BSS since the "Upload Beatmap..." option is located in the 'File' header of the menu bar, and the Osu! application running on X11 only has the 4 osu!, Edit, Window, and Help headers, I cannot access it. Is there a way to make the File header show, or maybe another way to submit beatmaps?

To access to the menus, you'll need to use the keyboard shortcut "command+F" and use the arrow keys.

Adding beatmaps to my 'Songs' folder (or dragging the .osz file to the Osu! icon) doesn't update immediatly. This is a problem when I'm trying to play with friends and I'm not the one hosting the match (I would have to restart my game every time a new beatmap comes on I don't already have). Any solutions to this?

You'll have to press "alt+F5" to get it to do the refresh action because I think F5 on a Mac will hide/move windows out of the view.

Hi Peppy.

Thank you for responding. Here is a picture on one beatmap: http://puu.sh/3qxDL/1925473cab.png and here is another picture from another beatmap: http://puu.sh/3qxFk/e1656f9562.png

This happens to all of the beatmaps loaded on my computer.

I have the same problem but on CtB. When i play some beatmaps i don't see my character or the fruits. Sometimes i play a map, it works perfectly, i restart the game, and the map doesn't work. And it happens with 80% of the maps i add.

EDIT : Also i had 700 beatmaps at the beginning and now i have 258 cause most of them are bugging

A problem regarding corrupted beatmaps :

I downloaded an unranked beatmap and installed it. However, the message "Unable to importe beatmap [beatmap name] blablabla" appear in the bottom right corner. I figured out that the mp3 was just missing, so I wanted to fix this.

I can open the .osu file containing the difficulty without problems (separated download), but I can't do anything to the .osz file. Yes, I've searched for similar issues; yes, I've looked inside the failed folder to see my trashed beatmap; no, there isn't any debug-report.txt in the osu folder.

EDIT : Also, when loading a beatmap, there's a chance it will crash halfway the loading. Nothing will show up, the only option is to use Ctrl+Q.

I don't know if this is a problem for all computers or just mine, but the flashlight mod is not working as intended. Instead of creating the flashlight effect, it just dims the whole screen (i.e As if I just lowered my brightness setting by a few ticks). This makes playing with the flashlight mod almost trivial, artificially boosting scores.

Only seems to affect you. I tried it right now, there's no apparent problem with it. Try adjusting your settings (osu! or Monitor)

Can you provide a screenshot ?

I've experienced this before too but in the earlier versions. Sometimes when I would load FL mod, it would dim the screen without adding the small circle of light to see through. So basically, it's like not having FL on at all. The only function that would continue to work would be holding sliders (which with FL, causes the screen to dim even more).
Creyslz
I messed around with the flashlight mod some more. I ended up finding a map where it did create the flashlight effect, but it also dimmed the screen, making it surprisingly difficult to play as I easily lost track of the osu button things. However, on other maps, it still only dimmed the screen.

I took a screencap video of myself demonstrating both.
No Fail is turned on because the screen cap program will occasionally lower my frame rate to unplayable levels.
