Shit, I don't get this at all. Not to bash on that dude's English, but I couldn't follow the directions at all. I'm a noob at Linux, so that's probably why. Anyway, I already have a windows installation of osu! from a while back and I put it in my wine folder for osu!. What do I do now?

Ok, I'll tell you everything I had to do in order to play osu!. I use Ubuntu 14.04 btw, but it should work on most linux versions. Anyway, that's what you have to do in order to play osu! using this method:

1) Install osu! on windows and copy the entire folder to your linux folder. It doesn't have to be a wine folder. In fact, I'd say that it is better if it is not there. I have my osu! folder on a different partition and it works great. Wherever you put it, remember the path to your osu! folder.

2) Download and install wine. It should work on most wine versions, I use 1.6.2 and it works.

3) Navigate to your home folder and press ctrl+H. It'll show hidden folders. Look for a folder named .wine (notice the dot). If this folder was made as a 32-bit folder, then I guess you can skip this step and step 4 (not sure though). If it's 64-bit or you don't know whether it's 32 or 64, then rename the old .wine folder to something else, like .wine2. If you don't have the .wine folder, then you can move on to step 4.

4) Open the terminal (ctrl+alt+T on ubuntu) and copy & paste the following command:

WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

It'll make a new .wine folder with a 32-bit prefix. You need a 32-bit version to install .NET in the next step.

5) When wine finishes making the new .wine folder, go to terminal again and put in this command:

winetricks dotnet20

This will download and install .NET required to run the game. Follow the instructions and install it.


Congratulations! Now you can play osu!. Go to your osu! folder and double click the exe file, or right-click -> open with -> wine.

I guess you could create a shortcut on your desktop, but I have no idea how to do it. Just keep in mind that I'm a linux noob myself, so there's probably a better way to do all this.

Thank you so much! This is the first time I've been able to even get it running.

Unfortunately it seems to be running very poorly. I tried switching to OpenGL and it refused to let me do so, and I couldn't switch to Cuttingedge either. I tried changing both of those settings in the config file but that didn't work. Also, the player controls are missing.

Oh well, if I can't figure it out I suppose I could just dual-boot.

Try doing this:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

Open the Graphics tab, turn on both the "Capture mouse...blah blah blah sth" and "Use Native DirectX 9 ... blah blah blah" or something like that (remember to turn on both). It is much less laggy and actually pretty nice to play without any delay of input.

Is it possible to run osu with opengl on linux? It would make sense.

No idea. Maybe no

Used on mint with other commands and it works great :>

Got the latest Cutting Edge set up and working with dotnet45. 2000+ FPS consistently (which is way better than what it was on Linux), universal offset is -30 (compared to 0 on Windows) and there's a slight keyboard input delay: I have to hit the keyboard keys earlier (however I don't notice any mouse / tablet input delay).

it makes no sense.. Linux doesnt have directx, so it runs osu in opengl mode eventho it shows its on dx mode.. if you want to use directx mode, then u need to install library for directx..

I tested osu! cutting edge (and beta) on linux mint with the latest wine and winetricks (winetricks corefonts dotnet45) and encountered this strange issue:


Note how the game objects (sliders, approachcircles, etc) are really laggy, but everything else (score/combo animation, the combo stars flying around, all the menus, the cursor when auto is off) is perfectly smooth. (the frametimes are okay too!)

Keep in mind that this was done in a VM (so ignore the major audio desync and poor overall performance), but a friend of mine confirmed this on his desktop PC as well.

@YaLTeR: Did you anything besides "winetricks dotnet45" in a 32 bit wineprefix?

(path points to a non-existent folder right now, winecfg will create it)
WINEPREFIX=path WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
(set up username and organization, checked the autocapture mouse in fullscreen applications tick)
WINEPREFIX=path WINEARCH=win32 winetricks -q dotnet45 corefonts
(it somehow worked, previously it'd get stuck on dotnet30)
Copied osu!install.exe (the one that doesn't download the .NET Framework itself) to "path/drive_c/Program Files/osu!", cd'd there, WINEPREFIX=path WINEARCH=win32 osu\!install.exe

Hm, we used exactly the same commands.

On my friend's PC it solved itself, though, without doing anything.

For anyone having connection issues on cuttingedge using wine.

1. First of all, install -> wine-staging <- which fixes the missing SSL stuff required by osu.
2. Create a fresh wine prefix, set up your name and whatnot and close winecfg (make sure ~/.wine doesn't exist or change it)

   WINEPREFIX=~/.wine WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

3. Install winetricks through your package manager if you don't already have it (e.g. sudo apt-get install winetricks)
4. Install dotnet45

   WINEPREFIX=~/.wine WINEARCH=win32 winetricks -q dotnet45 corefonts

5. Download the osu!installer https://osu.ppy.sh/p/download

6. WINEPREFIX=~/.wine WINEARCH=win32 wine osu!install.exe

7. Switch to cutting-edge as soon as osu starts and restart when required
8. Close osu!.
9. You can now start osu through

   WINEPREFIX=~/.wine WINEARCH=win32 wine '~/.wine/drive_c/users/<your username>/Local Settings/Application Data/osu!/osu!.exe'

   and it should connect to bancho just fine

To minimize input and sound latency, I recommend this great guide t/256526 .

EDIT: I put together all the possible tweaks in this thread and other threads for maximum smoothness and best latency: t/367783

It only runs in DX mode for me under WINE. openGL doesn't work.

Did you make sure that you use the cutting-edge build and not the stable?

cutting edge is opengl only and runs smooth as butter. follow my guide here t/367783

Guys, I know this is probably old news but has anyone tested mesa Gallium Nine ( http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTg2Mjc ) with Osu? If you did, how was the performance between :

• - Open source + Gallium Nine
  - Open source + CMST
  - Proprietary + CMST
  - Propietary

FPS rate? Frame drops? Stuttering? Please share us your experience using such drivers with Osu!

Hi, I am involved in this project. It works really well with osu, but cutting edge is GL which is even better.

Sorry if I was too complicated.

By the way, if someone is experiencing low fps problems, I fixed that by updating to the experimental branch from an older executable because apparently the stable branch also brokes the updating system (for me).
I put a link of an old osu executable on the video.

it shows directx on osu! but if you're looking into the debugger, it's using opengl.. really.. thats why it was not that laggy

If you want a simple way of doing this, there is a way of making custom installs using PlayOnLinux that lets you set up wine drives without doing the dirty work.

This worked first try for me(Ubuntu 15.10)

• 
  1. Open Configure from the main PlayOnLinux window
  2. Click the New button at the bottom left of the window
  3. Click next on the wizard that pops up, and select a 32 bits installation. I have not tried 64 bits, but it might as well work.
  4. Select wine version. I used 1.7.52, because Leauge of Legends(also wine'd) was using it, so it was convenient. You can mix and match here, but for this small guides sake, let's pretend you need to use 1.7.52. If you do not have this version installed, see below.
  5. Name the drive whatever you want. Wait for the new drive to be created
  6. Select the newly created drive in the left side of the configuration window, and navigate to the Install components tab. Find dotnet45 on the list, and install it. In some distributions, you need to apply this fix before doing so: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-10534-Regarding_ptrace_scope_fatal_error.html
  7. Download the osu installer as you would on windows
  8. Back in the configuration window, navigate to the Miscellaneous tab, and click Run a .exe file in this virtual drive. Select the osu installer, and run it. There might be some errors, but for me it turned out to work anyways.
  9. (Optionally) Navigate back to the General tab, and click Make a new shortcut from this virtual drive. Select osu!.exe from the list, or browse to the binary yourself.

What if i don't have wine 1.7.52 installed?

• 
  1. In the main PlayOnLinux window, select Manage wine versions from the Tools menu item at the top of the window
  2. Make sure the x86 tab is selected
  3. Select the required wine version from the list on the left, and use the > arrow to add it to the list of installed versions.

As a side note, when it comes to audio delay, my experience is that i managed to bring it down to 14ms buffer latency by tweaking pulseaudio's config files. I simply ajusted osu's global offset, and after that, it was pretty playable.

Also, here is a screenshot of it working as a tile in the i3 window manager. osu! insists on still rendering for the entire screen, but it cuts in a way that doesn't put an offset on the mouse input vs graphics, so it's fine for me. http://puu.sh/m5rff/a075dcbb55.png

Got a touchscreen 2-in-1 recently so it looks like I might get back into osu! :p

Anyway, I wrote up a quick document on getting osu! running on my setups: https://gitlab.com/Espionage724/Linux/b ... ne/osu.txt

Here's a little more-detailed guide for Fedora 23 (easily adaptable elsewhere):

EDIT: A better procedure is here: p/4900459

sudo dnf install wine -y

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks -O '/home/espionage724/winetricks'

chmod +x '/home/espionage724/winetricks'

mkdir -p '/home/espionage724/.cache/winetricks/dotnet40'

wget 'https://gitlab.com/Espionage724/Linux/raw/master/Wine/Files/gacutil-net40.tar.bz2' -O '/home/espionage724/.cache/winetricks/dotnet40/gacutil-net40.tar.bz2'

wget 'https://m1.ppy.sh/r/osu!install.exe' -O '/home/espionage724/osu!install.exe' --no-check-certificate

mkdir -p '/home/espionage724/Wine Prefixes'

WINEPREFIX='/home/espionage724/Wine Prefixes/osu!' WINEARCH=win32 '/home/espionage724/winetricks' dotnet40

WINEPREFIX='/home/espionage724/Wine Prefixes/osu!' WINEARCH=win32 wine '/home/espionage724/osu!install.exe'

rm '/home/espionage724/winetricks' '/home/espionage724/osu!install.exe' && sync

That installs wine, downloads winetricks (Fedora doesn't come with it in default repos; this won't hurt anything on distros that include/have it), makes it executable, creates the temp folder for dotnet40 files, grabs some file that dotnet40 installer will tell you to download manually from MediaFire (uploaded to my GitLab), grabs osu! installer (no cert check because wget was unable to verify the cert at the time), installs dotnet40, and then installs osu!, all within an isolated 32-bit prefix. The final line removes winetricks and the osu! installer, and writes all changes to the filesystem.

If that process looks good; I'd recommend copy/pasting it into a text editor, editing the username, and making it one giant command line (use && in-between commands; see AIO on my GitLab doc).

The following is how to create a launcher for osu! for use with most desktop environments (I use GNOME):

mkdir -p '/home/espionage724/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/osu!'

nano '/home/espionage724/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/osu!/osu!.desktop'

-------------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Name=osu!
Exec=env WINEDEBUG=-all WINEPREFIX='/home/espionage724/Wine Prefixes/osu!' wine '/home/espionage724/Wine Prefixes/osu!/drive_c/users/espionage724/Local Settings/Application Data/osu!/osu!.exe'
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/espionage724/Wine Prefixes/osu!/drive_c/users/espionage724/Local Settings/Application Data/osu!
Icon=STM1_osu!.0
-------------------------

mkdir -p '/home/espionage724/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps'

mkdir -p '/home/espionage724/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps' && wget 'https://i.sli.mg/KyW4AM.png' -O '/home/espionage724/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/STM1_osu!.0.png'

That's my general go-to process for most things with Wine and it's designed to be pretty automated.

For some notes:

- Don't blindly copy/paste what's above; the file/folder structure should be pretty standard across most Linux distros, but you'll most definitely need to change the username

- dotnet40 seems to be good enough (it only installs dotnet40; whereas dotnet45 wants to install some other dotnet stuff); I'm unware if any issues from only having dotnet40 will arise, but starting the game and playing some of the stock beatmaps works fine

- Not sure why or if corefonts is needed; initial testing looks to be fine without it (might be needed for Asian characters judging by previous feedback; I'll wait until/f it becomes a problem)

- The above does nothing special in-regards to gallium-nine, CSMT, optimizations, or etc; osu! looks to work fine without any of that on my setup :p

This is due to pulseaudio. Adjusting buffer sizes should work. There are plenty of different ways of doing it, and i don't know how good my way is, so i won't write a tutorial on it. You will find stuff on pulse in this thread, though

Hi!

I installed osu! on my Linux laptop, but whenever I click Solo, or a new map, or when I fail or pass, it shows a pure white screen that only changes when I move the mouse (only for Solo), or whenever I click again or press escape. Any solution?

EDIT: Disabled shader, and it works now. Sorry for taking up thread space, but if anyone else has this problem this is the solution.

People who complaining of audio delay, please use my osulauncher script in ArchLinux AUR package:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/osu/
You can use this script on any Linux OS. It installs osu! into dedicated wineprefix and configures PulseAudio and DirectSound audio latency.

Also, read my old post on how to drastically decrease audio delay in Linux:
p/1400208

Hi!

I made this quick little script to install osu! on Ubuntu 12.04, with i686 arch. Should still work for different Ubuntu versions, and maybe difference arches.

add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa -y
apt-get update
apt-get install wine1.7 -y
WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
winetricks dotnet20
wget http://m1.ppy.sh/r/osu\!install.exe
mkdir ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/osu\! && mv osu\!install.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/osu\! && wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/osu\!/osu\!install.exe
echo "alias osu='wine ~/.drive_c/Program\ Files/osu\!/osu\!.exe'" >> ~/.bash_aliases
. ~/.bash_aliases
ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/osu\!/osu\!.exe ~/Desktop/
osu

Just copy and paste this into a .bash file, such as osuDownloader.bash, and then run ". osuDownloader.bash".

After that, I would recommend disabling Shader in the settings.
Also, once at a terminal, just type "osu" and it'll launch

ThePhantom_PCMR, absolutely all sudo calls in your script are unnecessary and harmful. Better to remove them.

ThePhantom_PCMR, absolutely all sudo calls in your script are unnecessary and harmful. Better to remove them.

Alright, thanks. Editing it now.

Here is a script I put together that installs osu! on Ubuntu (easy to adapt elsewhere), creates the launcher shortcut, and does this in possibly the cleanest manner possible with very little user input (only need to enter sudoer password for PPA add and packages). The script has comments to let you know what something does, and is verbose while being ran.

The script source can be found here:
https://gitlab.com/Espionage724/Linux/b ... pts/osu.sh

The script can be ran with any of the commands below (first method recommended):

wget 'https://gitlab.com/Espionage724/Linux/raw/master/Scripts/osu.sh' -O ~/'osu.sh' && chmod +x ~/'osu.sh' && ~/'osu.sh'

bash <(curl -s https://gitlab.com/Espionage724/Linux/raw/master/Scripts/osu.sh)

curl -L https://gitlab.com/Espionage724/Linux/raw/master/Scripts/osu.sh | bash

- The script installs wine-staging from the official Ubuntu PPA
- It uses dotnet40 and gdiplus (needed for cjk fonts)
- Installs osu! in an isolated 32-bit Wine prefix
- Uses the officially-included osu! icon (it is automatically created after the second start of osu!)
- .osz (and I assume skin formats and any other archives for osu!) also just-work (can open downloaded beatmaps from Firefox and open with osu! as-expected)
- CJK fonts don't work; if someone has a solution to this, please share it (corefonts, takao, fakejapanese, and cjkfonts from winetricks didn't help) (fixed)

If there's any issues or any known improvements that can be made to it, please report them!

Could someone try installing osu! with only dotnet40 and cjkfonts (in a 32-bit prefix and no manual dll overrides)? It would appear that gdiplus (and its huge 500+MB download size) isn't a requirement for cjkfonts. A quick way to test if CJK fonts work is to go to the select language drop-down in Options (if you see CJK characters, it works; if boxes, then it doesn't work).

My script currently does this for anyone who also wants to try it out that way.

Espionage724 wrote:

I tried this, and it shows some but not all CJK characters (and inconsistently). For example, when looking at https://osu.ppy.sh/s/198034 the source field (which contains the characters 東方) show up as blocks if and only if I prefer English metadata. When I enable "Prefer metadata in original language" the source filed is perfectly readable.

Even better, if I edit the beatmap title or source to include a hiragana character, the 東方 starts showing up correctly. So I suspect it's something about wine's default font selection algorithm that is not recognizing that certain characters aren't available in certain fonts.

hmm. tried on my ubuntu LTS 14.04
it wont go over 20 fps on ANY GPU for some odd reasons.

oh and

System information:
Wine build: wine-1.4.1
Platform: i386
Host system: Linux
Host version: 3.18.0-kali1-amd64

kali is for penetration testing and ethical hacking; so i suggest you don't bother with it..

For Debian (stretch/sid, x64), I had to install allfonts with winetricks before successfully installing osu!; until that, the installer was unable to find Sans Serif font:

Other than that, everything went smoothly!

What Wine libraries should you install to make the audio work?

Can someone please help me ? Does anyone know what are dependencies needed to run cutting edge on wine? im trying to make wine build for mac. thanks

I don't suppose anyone here happens to know how to fix the transparency around the osu! logo (the black square) when you start the game? It seems to happen on any DE (Plasma 5, Xfce, Unity, GNOME) with or without compositing (on Xfce and Plasma 5).

I'm getting this too. Either the logo isn't transparent (or wine doesn't support the logo format's transparency), or wine doesn't apply the logo transparency.

Wine is supposed to support windows transparency since 1.6, too. (https://www.winehq.org/announce/1.6)

Guild Wars 2's launcher uses transparency as well (all the area around the main rectangle) and looks to be fine, but to be fair, I'm sure both are using totally different methods. I'm wondering how osu! is handling the transparency and if it could be improved somehow.



On another note, I updated my script for installing osu!; it now sandboxes the prefix and locks the cursor to the window when fullscreen. Pretty sure I didn't miss anything, but if anyone could test it out, that'd be great

It only works as-is on Ubuntu (other distros may need to modify the top part of the script and to make sure wine and aria2c are installed; if other distros just ignore commands it can't run and continue executing later commands, then the script may not require any editing).

Can run the script with the following command (it's all one line):

wget 'https://gitlab.com/Espionage724/Linux/raw/master/Scripts/osu.sh' -O ~/'osu.sh' && chmod +x ~/'osu.sh' && ~/'osu.sh'

For anyone who didn't see the first post I made about it; the script above should install Wine (and aria2c), handle the creation of a Wine Prefix for osu!, dependencies (dotnet40, cjkfonts), create a desktop launcher, and install osu! with very little input needed and as lightweight as possible. Works out-the-box on Ubuntu, and can work on other distros with very minor editing.

Alternatively,I have my install doc here for osu! I use on my machines.

Thought I would share my experience about how I got osu going on my particular rig. Might help some of you.

Please note that you may be prompted to change a value in a file called ptrace_scope.
Even if not prompted I recommend you change the value in the file from 1 to 0 as playonlinux complains if it is set to 1 (note that this change is temporary so if you need to restart your computer at any point during the install remember to reset this)

To edit this file just type:

sudo gedit /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

(If not running GNOME then substitute gedit with your prefered text editor)

So I used playonlinux, a special automator for setting up windows games. There IS an osu script on there but I found it didn't work.

So anyway I opened playonlinux and added a game. Now in the add a game menu there should be an option for manually adding a game not listed, select that.

Name the drive whatever you want but MAKE SURE IT IS SETUP AS 32 BIT. THIS IS IMPORTANT

A menu should pop up, select the checkbox for: Use different wine version and Install some libraries

For the wine version select version 1.9.1.

For libraries to install you need to select

Dotnet4.0

Only select to install .NET 4.0, DO NOT SELECT 4.5 AS THIS MIGHT BREAK THINGS (We will come back and deal with the rest later)

When given the option to select a program to install do so. Browse to the osu installer (The new installer not the old installer) and select it. Click next and the program should install.

Now playonlinux most likely WILL complain and say something has gone wrong. Ignore this and wait until the install is finished.
Once finished osu SHOULD start. Once it starts, exit it and then select CANCEL in the playonlinux window (which should still be displaying some sort of error about the install failing)

Now click the configure button and you should see your virtual drive in there, select it.

Hop over to the install components tab and install these libraries in this order:
Dotnet30
Dotnet30sp1
Dotnet35
Dotnet35sp1
Dotnet40
Dotnet45
gdiplus

Now the installer will be a bit weird as each time you install a version of .NET it will "install" previous versions. I don't know if it is actually installing them or if it is just checking to see if they are there but it doesn't cause any problems.

Once you have finished installing those libraries go back to the general tab and select "Make a new shortcut from this virtual drive" then select osu.exe in the window that pops up.

That's it! You should be all set and ready to go! Note that while these steps worked for me they might not work for you but if they do please let me know. Enjoy!

Why do you install all those dotnet packages? I've checked a few times in the past, and as of maybe a month ago, only dotnet40 was needed to get osu! up and running (the dotnet40 package only installs that one package and nothing before it).

As for ptrace_scope, you ideally don't want that to remain at 0 after closing osu! for security purposes (it basically lets apps talk to each other; you don't want some malicious script to run from Firefox and then just casually log other apps). That may only apply to PlayOnLinux though, as I don't recall having to do that for years with regular Wine.

Running gedit with sudo is also a slight no-no. It can cause some weird permission issues when you try to go back to using gedit as the normal user. pkexec is a better option, but I'm not entirely certain if it works out-the-box with gedit or not (I know it didn't back on Ubuntu 15.10, but not sure about Ubuntu GNOME).

Ptrade_scope is changed back to 1 after the computer is rebooted. It is only required to install .NET. To actually start and play osu ptrace_scope does NOT need to be set to 0. The program runs just fine with it set at 1

Only reason I installed all those frameworks was because the info I kept seeing around which frameworks were required was patchy. In the end I just thought it better to install all those frameworks to just be sure. Plus when I selected .NET 4.0 to install playonlinux insisted on installing the previous .NET's along with it. I dunno why but it just did.

As for gedit, I've run into no issues with permissions while using that coupled with the sudo command. In fact I've never even heard of that happening before.

I was only posting what I found worked for me when it came to getting the game up and running under linux. It isn't an end all solution and any suggestions on things to change would be appreciated

http://pastebin.com/HHFn4Ji1 Wine crashes :/
I'll mess with winecfg for a bit and update if fixed by tomorrow.

I installed osu! by following a guide on winehq.org (I installed dotnet40 instead of dotnet45 btw)
Everything went well and the game worked, until I closed the game and tried to run osu!.exe from the prefix directory. Now it won't start the game.

I'm using Xubuntu 14.04.04 LTS and Wine-Staging 1.9.11
I can run Touhou without any problems, so I don't know why Wine won't run osu!

Edit: Nevermind, I got it working by running it with Terminal. I'm such a noob

I cannot run Osu!, friends are wondering where I am. When I first installed it it would run fine, then it stopped. I fixed it but the next day it broke again and now the install won't work. I posted the wine error log, here's the link to the pastebin again http://pastebin.com/HHFn4Ji1
And here's my terminal log:

I don't suppose anyone here happens to know how to fix the transparency around the osu! logo (the black square) when you start the game? It seems to happen on any DE (Plasma 5, Xfce, Unity, GNOME) with or without compositing (on Xfce and Plasma 5).

I'm getting this too. Either the logo isn't transparent (or wine doesn't support the logo format's transparency), or wine doesn't apply the logo transparency.

Wine is supposed to support windows transparency since 1.6, too. (https://www.winehq.org/announce/1.6)

Just something to note FWIW I have seen this on standard Windows XP as well so it's not just a wine issue but probably with the runtime used. While I've never run osu! in wine and I don't know your configuration, I take it to get osu! to run you are using wine as Windows XP mode with the XP version of .net which is the default (at least it was last I used wine which has been well over a year now lol), which is probably the limitation. While it's probably not recommended and even more likely to not work whatsoever, has anyone tried running Wine in Windows 7 mode to see if it fixes this?

I actually recreated the prefix multiple times and with multiple installs of WINE but to no avail. I've installed Linux Mint now though and it works fine.

It's because there is an exclamation mark in osu!. You need to put the word in double quotation marks (e.g. drive_c/Program Files/"osu!") ^^

Oh yeah, that too..

Interesting how there is still no effort to produce a native solution for Linux. At this point, we may as well create a Snap or Flatpak-wrapped wine-wrapped copy of the game so that no one has to be bothered with ensuring that they have the right system libraries and associated wine configurations.

It seems like the development team doesn't care about the Linux users, because osu! is available on everything but Linux, which just sounds a bit odd. Everytime someone suggested a native port for Linux, Peppy just told them "to use a real operating system".
as if Windows is better than Linux

Patience, Peppy is rewriting and cleaning up his old code since 2007 and working on osu!next. Its only reasonable to work on cross platform when all this is done.

You either write with cross platform in mind, or you don't.

The main problem i see here (maybe i'm wrong) is .NET, since the game depends on libraries of .NET and .NET is a framework of Microsoft so they make sure you are caught on the platform once you start write code for it, you can't change it to cross platform easily.

There is some effort in porting .NET to cross-platform called Mono, but it is somewhat behind and probably will never port some important libraries like Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
Also some of the devs were bought (xamarin) to develop .NET Core, a Open Source .NET rebuild from Microsoft with fewer element tailored to the needs of the cloud.

All in all it's pretty complicated with all the framework stuff and corporate interests.
If you want cross platform, you better stay away from closed source proprietary frameworks owned by a company thats very interested in keeping you locked in the ecosystem.

However i really wonder why there is a MacOs X port of the game, if it isn't heavily wrapped in wine, the assumption above may be wrong and peppy just don't want to support linux for whatever reason.

Well WINE works nicely. The game works very well if you use the playonlinux script:)

But unless peppy decides "Hey, I want to support a bit more of the community, I'll develop with cross-platform in mind and write the engine with OpenGL and Vulkan" it's probably not going to happen. os

For those who are having trouble getting osu! to run with the looping 'Information Class 16 not implemented" or such, there are two things I would try: Try installing winbind `apt-get install winbind`, first, and then if that doesn't work, `wineserver -k`, `wineserver -k9`, or `killall wineserver` *might* help.

Thank you, people, though, for making this guide. My tips are from playing osu, thn osu not working without changing anything, and then doing those things... though in opposite order. So, I hope this helps someone.

For those who haven't noticed (due to it not being stickied yet), there's a NEW THREAD on how to tun osu! latency-free on Linux

May the new Thread be stickied instead of this one?

I have some new notes on getting osu! to run here: https://wiki.realmofespionage.xyz/games:wine:osu

I've only tested it on Solus, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work fine on any other mainstream distro. This provides a plain install of osu! with no additional tweaking (in my experience, I've had no latency issues on the computers I've used). CJK fonts are untested (if they're broken, winetricks cjkfonts should fix that)

dotnet40 is still the only dotnet package needed (I'm still a bit curious why dotnet45 is being used by some people; does it actually solve anything?)

I wonder if linux kali works.

That's awesome! I'll definitely try it sometime on Ubuntu 16.04 when I've got time.

dotnet45 is a total pain in the arse to install (and I think it's harmful too..?) and osu! works fine with dotnet40. I don't understand why people would install dotnet45, when dotnet40 is much more easier to install

Not entirely sure if it's harmful, but I'm pretty sure it has the potential for more problems if anything. I'm not aware of anything that dotnet45 and its massive dependency set would solve that isn't provided solely with dotnet40.

Notes updated also; I keep forgetting osu! doesn't start the install on Ubuntu if it happens to be in the Downloads folder (seems to work regardless on other distros strangely). corefonts is also added (it fixes most non-Latin fonts).

Ubuntu 16 04 1
Mouse is not responsive at all ;-;
Putting the settings on Raw / absolute raw makes the mouse only move on the half of my monitor
Putting it without raw, it delays and completely randomize the speed of the cursor.
Tried both on fullscreen and windows-mode ( also with and without letterbox )
Im using a steelseries kana v2.

Is there any way to fix this?

I tried installing the driver (steelseries engine 2) through wine but didnt worked. Gave me lots of errors.

What GPU do you have and what drivers are you using?

If it's Intel, NVIDIA with nouveau, or AMD with open-source graphics drivers (radeon or AMDGPU), try running osu! with the environment variable vblank_mode=0

If it's NVIDIA with the proprietary driver or AMD with GPU-PRO, try figuring out some way to disable vblank/vsync (NVIDIA has an environment variable, no idea on GPU-PRO but it might share the same variable as the open-source drivers above).

Alternatively, try another distro and/or desktop enviroment (like Xubuntu or Ubuntu MATE).

I honestly gave up after a while of trying to run osu! on any version of Ubuntu I have on any device, it was always slow and jittery. Plus it took way too much work to get it to even function at subpar 50 fps. That's when I gave up and went back to playing on Windows 10 with everything smooth. I do recommend though if you are going to be running osu! on Linux that you try using OpenGL and changing the capped framerates off of VSync (if it even is in the first place) as I find that VSync is broken in a lot of games on Linux.

The amount of work is pretty minimal nowadays (with the guide in my sig, you can copy/paste the lines and end up with a working set-up). osu! nowadays only has an OpenGL renderer.

I had the same problems as you, and the problem was wine 1.7, it's not the last version, try installing wine staging, run winecfg and in the tab "staging" check "Enable_CSMT for better graphic performance" it will allow wine to multithread. it actually gave me a 300 fps boost, hope you will have the same :b

Can you confirm this happening still? osu! nowadays should only use OpenGL (not sure if there's a fallback to D3D) and CSMT (as-documented) only affects Direct3D.

Not really related to osu!, but I just realized that the version of Wine in the Ubuntu repositories is really old (1.6.2) and I want to install latest version of Wine Staging using the official Wine PPA for Ubuntu. Will the prefixes disappear, if I uninstall Wine?
Also, osu! is apparently installed in a folder in my downloads folder. Will that go away too?

Nope, the prefix will be preserved if you remove and/or update Wine. If you change Wine versions, then upon osu!'s next start, you'll get a quick message about the prefix updating and then it should start.

Sorry, i didn't see your post because i don't check osu often. and yes, CSMT still works with osu!.

Nice tutorial tho. My friend was searching this to run the game on his Ubuntu.

I was able to install the game through PlayOnLinux
The fps seems to be fine also.

I guess we need a few more infos like specific OS and the way you installed it (straight up through wine or PoL)
I for myself had issues getting osu to run in Arch on my laptop because osu's not getting a connection for me aswell. Should've looked at the problem earlier but I didn't bother so far since it wasn't important for me to have it on there anyway

So, after toying around with the instructions you posted here and not being able to connect to the internet as well I tried a script someone put up on GitHub
(https://www.reddit.com/r/osugame/commen ... and_other/ -> the Reddit thread)
and now everything works fine, except for the fact that I can't alt-tab out of osu! and if I try the window freezes and I have to kill the process in another console.

Despite the alt-tab-freeze I tried to play and I experienced some lag. It wasn't that much but definitely noticeable (I play around 2.5-3.5 star maps). I set FPS to unlimited, running on Full-screen (1920x1080) but it's persistent whatever I do.

Edit: After enabling multi-threading and setting the osu! window to borderless windowed most of the lag is gone and it runs really smooth

is it just me or has anyone else also experienced that the circles and sliders appear way too early, which makes it pretty hard to play?
I have to set my universal offset to 64ms and local offset to 95ms in order to make the objects and hitsounds appear correctly in time with the music :<

Offset seems fine for me.

Did that happen somewhere else as well?
If yes and you are using Pulseaudio, this might be the problem.
You could try to deactivate it and just use the Alsa Mixer.

I don't have that problem anywhere else, not even in the other Wine games.
But I'll try to deactivate PulseAudio anyway and see if it does anything c:

I don't know how to disable PulseAudio in Ubuntu, but then I found about pasuspender, which apparently is a pretty neat utility for disabling PulseAudio temporarily

But if I'm going to use pasuspender in terminal, am I going to type this:

pasuspender -- WINEPREFIX=~/.wineosu wine ~/osu/"osu!".exe

or this:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wineosu pasuspender -- wine ~/osu/"osu!".exe

Edit: Nevermind, I'm going to get rid of Ubuntu soon and install Debian anyway, so I don't want to spend time on that

Thank you for the guide
I would be really glad tho to see a native linux build in the future

There is actually coming a native Linux port! I think it'll be released, when osu!next gets released

Does anyone have any tips on running osu! on GNOME/Kali Linux?

Hey, have mint kde x64, but osu client from playonlinux app run only in x32. How can I fix this and run x64 version? Teach me, senpai.

Basically, there's a in-depth, up-to-date guide over here
There are sections on creating 32-Bit Wine prefixes for various conditions such as either using pre-existing or self-compiled wine versions
If you want to get it working as easily as possible I guess taking the PlayOnLinux route is your best bet but you're given various options (papa bless Franc[e]sco for all of his efforts of making and updating his guide)

I've been playing on Linux Xubuntu 16.04 in PlayOnLinux for a month or two now, stable fps, no tearing, same latency as windows, minor visual issues with settings side panel and non-latin letters. If you check my latest scores, given my skill level, it is the same as my pre-linux scores. So, with that as a metric, you could say it is the same exact experience.

How I got it running is simple:
- Make a new PoL drive (x32), with wine 2.0-rc3-staging (x32).

- Configure->Miscellaneous->Open a shell

- Enter the following (one at a time) :

Install newest winetricks:

  wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
  chmod +x winetricks

Install vcrun2015

sh winetricks vcrun2015

- Go to the "Install components" tab, install dotnet40

- Miscellaneous tab once again, "Run a .exe file in this virtual drive"

- Run your osu! installer

- Play the game

Hope it works for you too, didn't post up until now to test functionality.

just found this post and i also got osu! to run, but it doesn't connect to Bancho

On osu! Updater it says ‘An error occurred! Please check your internet connection.’ How do I fix this problem?

works fine on debian

you internet or wifi is slow ?

"An error occurred! Please check your internet connection" while installing osu

@kiran install lib32nss-mdns. Wine has some issues with net connection while it isn't installed.
So, open a terminal and (assuming you've got a debian/ubuntu/mint distro) type

sudo apt install lib32nss-mdns
