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.
help, i have a mac 12 inch (2012 version) running osx 13.6. i have followed all your instruction but my game wont load. in activity monitor it appers but after 1 min it disseapear and the game does not show
Thank you so much for posting this guide! I love osu! and recently switched from Windows to Mac and this guide helped me get osu! to finally run after installation!
Do you know how to fix the Japanese characters showing as boxes?
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?

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?

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

I thought I could never play again LOLWhen 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?

Only the ones the osu folder
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.

I am still confused about how to update osu!, the update section of the thread is too confusing for me to understand

Can you elaborate on which part is confusing? The location of the osu! folder is specified at the start of the guide in the Miscellaneous Information section.

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.
I just got a new computer, and I'm currently trying to reinstall osu again, but whenever I click open it just never opens
Is there any way to fix this? OS is mojave

I had the resolution set to 2560 x 1600 (native) so that the quality is clear and crisp. However, when using my tablet, the higher I set the resolution the less space I have to move my cursor around. It seems like once I set my resolution to 2560 x 1600, my cursor can only move within the top quarter of the screen (using the tablet). Any way to fix this?
Thanks for making this guide.
I was having an issue that no one else seemed to have where osu! would quit immediately and the logs would not open (or maybe they didn't exist). In addition, any Wineskin changes I made would reset the minute I left the menu. To solve this I had to remove the quarantine attribute (which prevented osu! from writing) from the osu! app with this command:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /path/to/osu!.app
I hope that helps anyone having the issue I was having, because it took me over a year to figure it out.

Thanks for that command. It seems a lot of people also can't get osu! to open and I suspect that they haven't managed to get rid of the quarantine attribute either.

You... don't? Just drag the beatmap into the beatmaps folder and then press F5 when you're in game to load the new beatmaps?...
Hi uh after about 4-5 minutes of running the game, my game crashes. Does anyone experience similar situations, and how do i fix this.
P.S. I used Beasttrollmc's skin btw

I need help. look ! It's posting an error message " Error! cannot write to info.plist, there are permission problems, or you are on a read-only volume. This cannot run from within a read-only dmg file."
What do I do???
What do I do???
Something to note when you download, make sure that your osu! application is not in your iCloud Drive. My desktop is linked with my iCloud and when I tried to open it, would not open. Make sure to keep the file somewhere actually on your computer.
I use a Mac, and whenever I type (Let's say I'm playing Mania right now), there are these letters appear which respond to what I type. This causes my mac to be laggy. Is there any way to disable them? Thank you.

I cant find that file.
pcname will be replaced with whatever the name of the user account on your computer is. If you have run the game successfully in the past, and you didn't intentionally delete that file, it will be in there. Just look harder.Anc3lPlayz wrote:

Use U.S. International-PC instead of using other input source
I did almost everything in this post, all i get when i try to open osu is "The Program osu!.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." This error started when I tried to update osu earlier today.

Have you tried the "Updating the osu! executable" section of the guide?

Please read it carefully. The only thing it asks you to do is to replace the osu!.exe file which will not change any of your user settings or songs.
