Currently my odd problem, is that whenever I am playing and get to low hp, the screen goes entirely black, I am not even using a dual monitor setup or anything, it really hinders gameplay.


See my reply on a previous problem extremely to similar to this one.

thank you! runs 100%, except for one problem. i've installed yesterday and every time i play whenever the HP bar starts dropping to around 10-15% the game blacks out, really annoying cause then i just stop being able to see the game and obviously always lose as i can't keep playing to come back. soon as the song is lost i'm able to see the game just fine once again.

some help would be appreciated on this one, thanks

Only thing I can think of is OpenGL issues but your GL Version is only slightly lower than mine so I doubt it's a huge issue. You can try disabling as many graphical effects in the osu! options and if that doesn't work, enable compatibility mode. If even that doesn't work I'll add a section in my guide later that explains how to revert your Wine version to an older one that may work better.

[quote="catitaa6"]hey! worked for me - i moved some settings around, something was probably causing conflict and the problem is gone. not sure what it was as i changed a lot of stuff, but fortunately it's properly working again. thanks again for this lovely package now i can say it's fully running :)

As I posted before although skipped over, I am also having the lag problem but it is all throughout Osu! since the High Sierra update. Before, however, the wrapper worked perfectly. What causes this lag? It is unbearable. Thanks

Same here except my screen is black i cant see anything but i can hear the game

These tips were helpful when I still had Osu, but when I had it running in the background for about 5 mins, it suddenly froze and had to uninstall it. Upon reinstalling the game, I set up all the settings to what I had before uninstalling Osu. But now the game won't even launch. I have tried using all the steps in the post but still hasn't worked. I'm running on High Sierra. In Activity Monitor, I see the Osu app active for about a minute then immediately shuts down. I also didn't see the Osu wine commands active during the process.

Have you put shaders on?

I've looked through here and can't seem to find a solution for my issue. I'm using a Wacom Intuos P S (newest intuos tablet, also known as intuos draw) when I play osu! and when I'm playing, the cursor will freeze for a few seconds - every 10-20 seconds and make me fail. I have Wacom drivers installed, so I checked to see if it was my tablet by playing with my mouse and I get the same problem. The mouse & tablet works perfectly fine outside of osu! so I'm not sure what the problem is.

For some reason, osu will work fine but then will give an error message that reads,"Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application". I backed up my osu folder and reinstalled osu, but after I restored my backup, the updater opened and installed some files, and I got the error message after it closed. I'm unsure as to how to fix this, and I don't want to reinstall osu again in case the same thing happens.

I'm unable to open wineskin. Its constantly stuck on this small window that says its busy. Anyone able to help?

When it is on desktop it launches but won't launch when moved to applications. Also, when updating, replacing the dll file won't work and would still be downloading 17 files.
IkuKazumi
Is anyone having a problem where when you open up osu! it says unable to find version? I had pressed the "Click to Restart osu!" and it just told me it couldn't find a version?

My osu! opens up at black screen, I can hear the music and I can still navigate throughout the menu but only displays black screen!

When I try to update Osu, an error appears: you can not find a version of the runtime to run this application. Can anybody help me?
Whamo
i did everything you said here but it still wont run
JasmineMA
I have just found out that if you are in an update loop, you can delete the file "Wineskinx11" (Contents>MacOS) and it should stop the update loop.

This is only if you have updated all of the wineskin stuff beforehand - including the engine and completed the steps under "Help!My game wont start after updating to High Sierra"

This has just worked for me and I cant speak for anyone else but I hope it helps.

My Wine package worked fine until a couple days ago when osu! updated. I've updated the settings, but I get an error message saying, "Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application." I'm not sure why it's happening, but the log I checked from a Wine test run said that fonts wouldn't initialize (with the X11 from the computer). Future runs said, "No X11 Log info when using XQuartz!" How do I fix this?

The XQuartz file now just mentions hardware, graphics, and Wine engine used, but now Wine says something that I don't know how to fix. Here's what I got:
LastRunWine.log
winedevice.exe(17014,0x407e9000) malloc: *** error for object 0x2c883d0: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
DESUxDESU
Hey guys, I got xQuartz and Wine installed, however I have to cd to the osu.exe file to launch. And once I do this I'm stuck at can't download .NET.

Heres the logs:

Hey the application works perfectly fine but there is a noticeable cursor lag or just some slight FPS issues.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012) is what I'm running it on if that helps

It crashes When I turn on compatability mode and won't start up (had to reinstall). Is that a graphics problem or is there a fix to that?

don't have the logs anymore sorry

Probably some graphics issue.

If you accidentally turn it on in the future, right click on your osu! icon and hit "Show package contents" then go to "Contents > Resources > drive_c > osu!". Edit the file "osu!.pcname.cfg" in any text editor (TextEdit will do) and set the line CompatibilityContext equal to 0. Save the file and close the document and you should be able to start the game again.

Whenever I play this beatmap: https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/219380/#osu/724015
my game crashes.

After I played any other map, throughout the song everything was just fine until the very end as I was getting my score, the game crashes.

When I say "the game crashes" I mean the application doesn't close. It's just frozen for eternity, so I have to Force Quit OSU.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there any fix for this?

Try deleting and redownloading the map.

It didn't help. It's happening whenever I play any beatmap.

EDITED: Nvm.. I found out that the skin I was using was crashing my game. (I was using BeastTrollMC's skin)

I have an extremely hard time reading English so I prefer to play games either in Korean or Japanese. When I try to change my language to.. one of them, it appears as boxes. I'm using macOS.

I've tried to search for a solution but none has helped, can anyone help me on here?
CynTezu225
This was really helpful!! Ever since my computer updated itself to MacOS Mojave, I couldn't open osu at all... I just backed up the osu folder, installed the google drive folder, and restored the osu folder and it worked for me :) the only problem is the input lag now... but I'm just glad I got it to open right now.... phew! I thought I could never play again LOL

When doing a data backup it says delete all .dll files, (sounds dumb but) does this mean ALL .dll files(including the ones in the 'windows' folder or the just the ones in c_drive>osu?

Well I finally got osu! to work on Mojave(thank you); though a little choppy; but I haven't restored my backup, because it is from a stable(fallback) version and didn't work beforehand. Do you know if I can just replace the songs file with the one in my backup folder and it'll have them? it is the only concern. Otherwise I can just download them again over time.

The songs folder of all things should be fine to transfer over.

I'm not aware of an auto updater so I've added a section in my guide about updating osu! manually. Theoretically, osu! should update itself after it's been updated manually.

You need to download the latest osu!.exe from this website: https://osu.ppy.sh/home/download. Specifically, the button which says "Download osu! for Windows". You should get a osu!install.exe. Rename it to osu!.exe and then drag in into the folder.

So when I did that I got this error message, I uninstalled and reinstalled the way I had done before and it seems to have fixed itself.

Also I just discovered this button in the settings.
