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.

Now I have to play on Windows again 
well at least I have the joy of having a new mouse
well at least I have the joy of having a new mouseMine is not working. ㅠ.ㅠ It just doesn't open!! 
So pissed off.
It just doesn't open!! So pissed off.Do you have Razer Synapse installed on your mac as well?
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.
It's always ±99'C when I run osu
Hey am I the only one that has osu not even opening anymore? is there any way i could do to fix it?

If you don't know what I mean, read the past 5 pages. Any of them, really.
Do I really need to have the older version of razer synapse? because i have uninstalled it and now I have tried opening my osu and it the application is not responding. I have no razer mouse or keyboard. if anyways i will try the older version of synapse. to see if its still not responding.
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.

How does one go about to keep his/her mac cool while you play osu?
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.IchigoSaki wrote:

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 quicklyNovixion wrote:

I personally use 300 FPS limiter.Agrrox wrote:
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.
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.

What mockingbird said, check if it isn't your mac itself causing the problem(s).

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?

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).
My game wont load anymore for some reason. I have tried re-installing it but had no luck. I dont know how this happened or how to fix it. Please help
Did you install Razer Synapse since the last time you opened it?

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.Nuek wrote:

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?mockingod wrote:

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

That's like mine, and yeah it's because of Razer Synapse being installed. Is there a way of playing osu with out Synapse being removed?
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.

probably someone in here should upload it (synapse 1.2) then give it here
searching in google are too damn difficult

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.
i ask for it not for myself but for others who have the synapse problem
actually i don't have any razer things, and apple's trackpad is more than enough for everyday use and playing some game

have you ever uninstall then download it again?
or do you use razer synapse?

Possible solutions are to downgrade to synapse version 1.2, or perhaps uninstall synapse altogether.
I don't use razer synapse
I'm having issues with my client. Whenever a song has the * symbol in it, wherever it may be, I can't import the song to Osu. Is there any reason why?

omg thanks soo much!!!
This is terrible, I can't play osu if synapse is installed ;_; I can't find the version 1.12 for synapse, I've tried asking razer and they didn't reply (foreveralone)
why not try using other mouse (non razer mouse)
Because it would be a waste of money if you cant use the gaming mouse you bought because of a silly compatibility issue with the latest version
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?

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 closed down my browser and every program. The osu i have is the most updated version as well
why not use Mavericks instead of Snow Leopard?
with that specs, osu! should've running perfectly in your mac
have you re-install osu!?

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'm using a keyboard for my macros, also need synapse to make the buttons work.
And I have a logitech mouse (G400s)

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?
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.
Thanks guys! I was scared I couldn't play my beloved game again!

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

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.

osu! is software and cannot destroy hardware.

every time i try to play a beatmap, it lags every couple of seconds. and i mean to the point where i miss half the song and fail. id there anything i can do to fix it?
Whenever I play osu on my macbook pro the audio seems to be slightly off, which messes up my timing on beatmaps (the music and hitsounds are off, I took off the hitsounds but then I noticed the music was slightly off as well. I know the maps arent the problem because I've played them on my windows computer and theyre fine). Is there any way to fix this or am I stuck like this haha

Personally I've been using these few terminal commands for the past year. http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/02/kill-os-x-mouse-acceleration-from-the-command-line/
The only downside is that you need to do the command "./killmouseaccel mouse"(or trackpad) in terminal every time you restart the computer. It works very well, though. I've played with my trackpad without mouseaccel and could get pretty decent accuracy on some jumps.

Not sure if it's only me, but the cursor is moving very slowly after the acceleration is turned off ( through some terminal commands )
I'm going to try that smoothmouse to see if it's different.

It's more or so the same, but it's possible to increase or decrease the speed/sensitivity with smoothmouse.

playing osu! is not recomended using magic mouse, seriously, it's hard to control
also i play on my late 2013 iMac (2.7 GHz) but sometimes got laggy and maximum framerate is about 400fps, but when i play on my friend's MacBook Pro (model no. md103), it better than play on iMac, why??
