Whoa... quite funny :D
So thanks Novixion.
Another question.... I'm having... a bit feeling of lagg or something when playing osu!std...
The cursor movement are just... a bit unnatural and glitchy, unlike when you play on windows.
Maybe it's because of the graphic cards? Thanks again~

Edit
Have anyone tried playing osu on root?

I used to have it a lot, then I realized it was because I was running took any things at once (too many Safari tabs, apps not napping, background changing every 5 seconds.). I just closed my tabs.
Also, I noticed that while playing in 1280x800 windowed, I do experience a lag spikes every now and then (enough to disrupt gameplay) whereas playing in 1400x900 (borderless) doesn't give me any of the lag. Try running it in the largest resolution it can be for you screen.

I have a similar thing. I sometimes have the approach circles appear a bit jittery/laggier than normal. It doesn't bother me too much, but it is a bit annoying when playing ar9 maps. If I notice it's jittery, I just command-tab to switch applications then switch back and try again. I do this until the approach circles aren't laggy anymore. It only takes maybe twice or three times.

Lag in general has gotten better for me, but I find that if I have a livestream open in the background (not as active tab), my game lags significantly. If I have Facebook open as the active tab on my web browser, my game will lag occasionally. (I think this is because of the live feed on the right side for facebook).

It's just me or the Mac version is getting REALLY unstable lately?

It is crashing a lot, and i'm getting this about 3 or 4 times before it actually opens

No crashes at all in the past three days except for after I closed the application. I played probably played over 18 hours total in the past three days too.

Today I did notice that my game was really 'laggy' and I kept having spikes to ~15 fps and it was impossible to play, but I just restarted my computer and it was fixed.

It might be just me then. I'll reinstall it, that should fix it.

I only crash if I keep it open for over a day or click too many links in game too quickly. I reduced the lag by increasing my frame limiter from 60 to 300 (your comp. might heat up though). I also noticed a VERY,VERY small difference in computer cursor and in game cursor in some rare instances.

I saw something similar once when some of my songs did not register even tho unpackaged by the unarchiver, never caused me a crash though.
It might be related to you having a beatmap not registering properly. Check your beatmaps and see if any are unloaded.

I've been having a problem playing CTB for the Mac recently. Whenever I load into a song, the catcher disappears from the screen. So I can't catch the fruits because the character you control is invisible. I don't really know why this happened. It just randomly stopped working about a week ago.

Is there anyone who figured out the problem with Razer Synapse yet?
I just bought a Razer Naga 2014 which required an update of Razer Synapse so I had to update... now at version 1.14 osu won't open anymore

No idea. As far as I know, Osu on windows is compatible with Razer Synapse. I don't have the interest of debugging the error since I use a tablet for playing osu on my mac.

Im having problems with either my mac or Osu!, every time i play for an unknown period of time, it'll keep running, but the second i close osu!, it'll dim the screen and tell me to restart my mac, is it just me and is there a way to stop this?

Are you running it off the disk image file it came in? Are you running Osu! off your flash drive?

If you're running it off your flash drive, make sure everything is closed before you pull it out. If you are dragging the disk image to 'safe eject' your flash drive, make sure that it fully disappears from your desktop before you pull it out of your computer. The same message happened to me on multiple occasions because I was impatient.

If you're running it off the disk image file, I can only assume you need to close Osu!.app fully before you eject it. I haven't run it off the disk image file before.

If it's anything else, then I really don't know.

oh ok because i dlwd it on my mac, not on a flash drive i think im overheating my mac, is there a way to avoid/check?
EDIT: it crashes my whole Mac, so it either has something to do with Osu.app or my mac not being able to handle it, if you want my specs i can give it.

Is osu! causing your mac to heat up more then usual after the last couple of updates? I noticed my fan is on more frequently even though I'm running the same settings as before.

If you don't have a razer mouse or keyboard, just completely uninstall razer synapse and don't worry about it.

The application not responding is a first. Maybe try wait it out a bit before force quitting the application or something.

I have tried waiting just now for about 6 hours leaving the application open and still no response. What I am trying to do now is using it with mavericks or playing it from an external unit (flash drive).

Running it in a lower resolution helps. Also, running less things in the background significantly help.

It helps but it will still heat up. i have zero other applications open, a minimal window for osu and on OpenGL but will still heat up quickly

Well, I was afraid that my macbook is overheating because he runned always on high temperature. But fact is that macbooks were made to run very hot, if your macbook will get harmed there is fuze that will automaticaly turn off macbook when temperature will reach certain limit.

Maybe you have unlimited fps turned ON ? If so, try to use custom frame limiter instead maybe it will help.
Also a crucial thing that drasticaly helped me to keep macbook much more cooler was cleaning the dust and dirt from fans.
U can buy cooling pad for laptops too.

And also its because of wineskin. When you run a Windows application through Wine the game's code is first taken to Wine, then X11, then OS X and then finally to the hardware. which is kinda resource intensive and can cause lags and delays. This may vary from game to game how much lag and delays you get.
I personally use 300 FPS limiter.
OpenGL might be your problem, OpenGL is more resource intensive. I use DirectX mainly because I can't run in OpenGL (my Osu! is super bugged for some reason).

I've had this problem for awhile but hadn't really thought of posting it. The problem starts after a few games played (without exiting/restarting osu).
Fixing it is no problem - simple forcequit and run it again but... still a problem.

I got a friend to spectate onto when I 'reached' this point

Edit: The problem - Sliders began to 'disappear' or lightly flash.

Currently, what frustrates me is that, when you play four or five songs, by that time, frame rate starts to drop. When frame rate drops, it doesn't read spins as fast, slider breaks occur more often, and accuracy is lowered because the cursor can't move fast enough. Anyone else experience this?

I dont experience that, but I do notice that I get a lot of random lag spikes. They don't occur enough for me to get mad at them, but they have made me lose new records I get on my songs. Sometimes when I use DT on some maps like Crayon Pop - Saturday Night (Hard), the approach circles appear laggy, but switching applications with command-tab and then switching back a few times will magically make it stop happening. (Or maybe it's just that restarting the map fixes it after doing so a few times).

I only really get the bad lag Tsuchi is talking about when something pops up with Mac's stupid application update message. Sometimes Mac's message 'loads' but doesn't appear for a few seconds, so I'm left wondering what is making my game lag. I open activity monitor, and see the update task and then I just end it, and the mac update message appears for a split second before just disappearing, and then my game is not as laggy anymore.

There needs to be either a native mac client or the editor to be fixed. Right now, there is no way to go into the menus of the editor (file, edit, etc at the top). So you can't save beatmap as new difficulty or do new difficulties for a map. Or maybe I'm overlooking something?

Were there any solutions for the mentioned delay? i am still needing to use -200 universal offset with effects turned off. what could be causing this? and does that inply there could be huge lag on my system even outside osu?

I am playing windowed 1024x768, frame rate is always stable

Make sure to stop your desktop background image from changing every X amount of time (if you have this on).
Also I noticed I tend to have frame skips and lag strikes more often when running osu! in a window that is not as large as the screen. Set your resolution to 1440x900 (I presume is your max resolution available).

I actually have the same problem, although i'm running an old mac. I think it has something to do with a delay on the keyboard-input.
I'm not sure though. Would appreciate any help.

I've tried running only osu! and a black background (not automatically changing). Didn't help. ._.

Processor: Intel Core Duo @2,4GHz
RAM: 8GB 1067MHz DDR3

Actually, yes. I noticed that it hasnt been working since i installed Razer Synapse but then again I havent played osu for a while long before I installed it so i assumed the game was simply not up-to-date. Does Razer Synapse interfere with the game?

It's only bouncing on the dock then disappearing as if the app opens then immediately closes on its own.

Yes, apparently there is something in Razer Synapse 2.0 that interferes with Osu! on your mac. It seems to be Osu!'s fault, as it used to work before with Razer Synapse a long time ago (I used Synapse too).

Unfortunately there has been no solution for it posted since it started happening. I have no idea what the problem is myself. It's been suggested that you find an older version of synapse for your mac (1.2 or something). People said that still works.

Sorry, can't help you there. I started using my trackpad as a tablet before Synapse stopped working, then just uninstalled synapse and kept playing. I now own a tablet and haven't used my Razer Mouse for Osu in well over 5 months.

I recall someone has found an earlier version, though. I can try googling in my free time later.

I'm not sure if anyone post this here yet, but some mouse like the deathadder 2013 has onboard memory. You can install synapse 2.0, set the dpi, polling rate, and the acceleration that you want, unplug the mouse, uninstall synapse, restart your mac, and plug the mouse back in. The settings should be saved so you can play Osu on the settings you want without using synapse 2.0. The only problem is that you would be stuck on that setting for all other applications unless you reinstall synapse again. Look up if your mouse has onboard memory before you do this.

Apparently there's a problem with razer synapse and osu on mac.

Possible solutions are to downgrade to synapse version 1.2, or perhaps uninstall synapse altogether.

I don't use razer synapse

HI, im having some lag issues with osu. When im on the start up screen or get into a song, i get aroun 120 fps. However when the slide things load up, my game stutters and fps drops making it very difficult to play. Is there a fix for this? Ive tried turning off all the details and going into cfg to change it to a lower resolution. I dont have any background things running which can affect performance.

here are my specs, i am running 10.6.8 snowleopard, amd radeon 6750m graphics card. Using WS9Wine 1.7.16

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 8 GB

Are you sure there are no background things running that affect performance? Your computer has better specs than the mac I use to play Osu!. Try check again and see if you have the update popup thing appearing. If you dont, then try see if you have Facebook open as the active tab on your web browser (This actually makes me lag. I've tested it).

If nothing else, I think it might be that you're running 10.6.8, and I'm running 10.9, but I don't know too much about the technical side of this, so I can't be 100% correct.

i dunno, im scared there will be problems if i switch to maverick. Quite content with snow leopard at the mo and im unsure about the transition. And yeah i thought it would run smooth. Even counter strike at high settings i average 100fps . dunno why i have problems with osu hahahaha

You shouldn't have any system problems when switching over to Mavericks. I've encountered no bugs since I've switched. It might help with the lag and stuttering you are getting.

I've been playing osu on my windows computer, and I just recently switched over to mac, and downloaded the beta, but I can't play online!! :( It says I can't connect because osu needs to update, but there's no updater to update osu like on the window version! What am I doing wrong, can I just not play online anymore?

When you open osu!, you should see the "update osu" button on the bottom. If you don't see it, I think if you go to options and look for "updates" you might find an update button.

Yep, at the end of options menu there's a "launch osu! updater" button.

Is there more input lag or FPS lag when playing the OS X version versus playing on Windows? Also, would a Macbook Air be able to run the OS X version well?

No lag here. Air should be okay.

depend on your MacBook Air model identifier (you can see it by click apple menu>about this mac>more info>system report)
mine sometimes lag, fps can reach 200+ in unlimited setting

I'm trying to get used to playing this game on OS X and I'm having terrible offset issues. It seems like it needs to be set somewhere around -150 or so! Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Edit: It seems I also have to have hitsounds off as well. They don't sync up at all.

What I suggest you do if use the default hitsounds for now and work out the correct offset first. Then after you've corrected that you will then be able to determine whether it's your hitsounds that are off (some are and consequently maps will be unranked if such hitsounds are on) or your offset.

In regards to Mavericks - I'm completely fine and I play AR10.8 lol. Occasional lag but that's normal (I think lol - in any case, it's not too bad).

id just like to say this game is really fun and i run it on mac but because of this game my computer has crashed several times and it also has made me bring it into apple because it destroyed my logic board ik it is in beta but is there any way you guys could try and fix this.
I still would like to continue to play and enjoy this game but until it is fixed i will not touch the game.
Please get the mac beta version fixed as soon as you guys can thanks.

I've been playing Osu! on my mac for over 7 months. I know friends with macs that have ran osu on it with no problem. What mac do you have, and what are the specs of your computer?
