Explain the issue you are having:
After the latest update I'm unable to start osu!. I come to the updater and press start, but after that nothing happends.



Is it reproducible? If so, explain the steps to do so:

1. Download osu! for Mac on your Mac
2. Update osu!
3. osu! won't start

3. Open package by right-clicking on osu!.app --> Show package contents

4. Run Wineskin.app right at where you are now

5. Advanced --> Tools --> Change engine

6. Select the latest (if you install the Winery for the first time, the only one) engine

7. Update

8. Enjoy your osu!



On clean install of osu! + Winery there will be some problems with CJK fonts. In Wineskin.app inside osu!.app, go Advanced --> Tools --> Winetricks and install necessary fonts.

Sorry but.. That's unnecessary when there is a mac version that peppy have posted. Wine is not something I want to download to my school computer either, I rather have them fix the bug which would make all of the mac players happy.

osu!Mac has some problems with the latest update. Please be patient, it may or may not be fixed for a while.

All the modifications listed above are to apply to official download of Winery-powered osu!mac (which is the only *official* I can see).


Basically, Winery-based official download is using wine, similar in some way to Winebottler. Wine will not be run as a service, nor it will make any noticeable fingerprint on your system. You are free to delete downloaded engines within Winery if you wish to do so.

Winery only provides bottled (read: isolated) version of wine, allowing to package the whole thing into an .app structure, which will be able to be run on any macs with no necessary-to-install daemons/services/libraries.

If there is something I missed out/misunderstood or if I should stop anywhere in detail, feel free to write me: depressivethinking (at mark) gmail

Well, I may not seem getting the whole idea of deleting Wineskin.app inside of package and uploading screenshots of what's left, and I am more than sure that the osu! alias points to main osu folder in drive_c.

Screenshots above are made basing on osu!_20121025.dmg, which is exactly what you get by clicking the OS X Installer link. Here it is anyway: http://mi.osu.ppy.sh/osu!_20121025.dmg If you are directed to any other image, please post link here, so we could diagnose that special file.

If you by any chance need Wineskin.app from inside of official osu!.app download from the link above, here you go.

Here, as you can see, I have posted a link to current topic. There were at least two successful results, not counting mine.

Again, I am basing off latest available official download here.




Any more questions, my friend?

Can someone build a new package for me so I can update the official one? I will do this myself when I find time, but if someone is capable this may help get it out to everyone faster.

Somewhat working osu!.app


Changes:

WS9Wine engine updated to 1.5.24 (25 and 26 are unstable)

CJK out-of-the-box. winetricks corefonts and CJK from Windows 7 are added inside drive_c/windows/Fonts. Further, I will try to delete all the unnecessary fonts.

(Trad. Chinese looks weird: seems like Japanese fonts have higher priority, so actual Trad. Chinese glyphs are only shown if Japanese version is not available)
(Japanese glyphs look bolder, Trad. Chinese are rather thinner)


That's pretty much it.

Yeah el_leopardo, I've been using the osu!.app that you sent since you posted it here, but I must say that it's extremly buggy and has even started to make my mac lag.
Bugs I've encountered:
-osu! freezing and needs wineskin to be closed
-osu! always needs to be closed with wineskin
-When you sometimes play either Taiko, CTB or mania you just start hearing the beeps like you're not in the program, making you fail the song.
-Using mods will crash osu! 75% times of the tries that I've done. (Tried 50 times in a 3day time).

Otherways it's good. And I can sneak in some ranks everyday.

I've also noticed that this osu! version is quite laggy and doesn't register everything on rhythm from what I've experienced. However, it is a half-working version (literally) that actually loads, so this is a step in the right direction.

It says my version of osu! is not up to date, I try clicking update but it just stays on the title screen. But now that won't even open for me.

OSU for my tablet stopped working, I click play and it says updating library when it reaches about 97% it says: unfortunately, Ous!droid has stopped working.
Does anyone know how to get it to work? :(

1.) create a new thread, aa this is not the same
2.) osu!droid has no production anymore, so it can not get fixed
3.) ask in the correct forum (the Osu!Droid forum) 86

My problem with osu is that it just keeps updating, i click on it, and it opens with it saying that it needs to update, it gets to 100% then closes then opens again and it does the same thing

Is this supposed to happen because i read that that it could take 5 minutes to open but i dont know if it is just meant to keep updating

Hello everyone!
Before I got Osu! I downloaded a program called 'Quartz' . For me, it helped a lot.
Sometimes you need to start it two times or so to run the game but all in all it's better than nothing I guess :D
