Hey! Thanks for this program. I have a question. When it does come out, will you update this to osu!lazer?

Technocoder wrote:

Here's an unofficial update to the osu! OSX package. This is a direct replacement for the official osu! Wineskin package that can be found here: http://osuosx.tumblr.com

It has several improvements and fixes several issues (in comparison to the official Wineskin package) including (but not exhaustive):

1. Fixes game not launching on High Sierra
2. Reduces input lag
3. Reduces frame drops
4. Increases FPS
5. Removes the need for XQuartz
6. Prevents f.lux temporarily disabling when switching windows
7. Smoother opening of beatmaps
8. Fixes erratic unfocusing of cursor when using keyboard to tap due to Location Services
9. Allows swiping to switch between windows
10. Fixes black screen issue with dual or more monitor setups
11. Fixes minimising of osu! when focus changes

Results may vary

If you're uncomfortable with using a file downloaded from a complete stranger (and you should be) you can follow my guide here to obtain (mostly) the same Wineskin package.
[Guide] Fixing Mac Issues: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/679205

How to install

Steps

1. First you'll need to save your osu! data so you can transfer it over later. See my guide here on How to do a data backup (apply it on the old osu! app): https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/679205
2. Download the package from the previously shown download link
3. Extract the .zip file
4. Move the osu! application out of the Downloads folder otherwise it will not start properly
5. Run (double click) on the osu! app. The osu! updater should run and start osu! after a while
6. Close osu!
7. See my guide here on How to restore a data backup (apply it on the downloaded osu! app): https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/679205

Now you can move the downloaded osu! application anywhere you want and it should work fine.

If you are having issues after you see the osu! logo/updater please include the osu! updater logs found in osu! > Logs.

If you are having issues before you see the osu! logo/updater please include the Wineskin test run logs found after running a test run. (osu! > Open Package Contents > Wineskin > Advanced > Test Run)

Troubleshooting

For those that are unable to open the osu!.exe file, such as nothing popping up, try moving the zip file (NOTE: Not the application, but the zip file containing the application) to another location, such as your Desktop or the Documents folder. Then, right click the application and select "Open". While this may seem redundant, this has a different effect to directly double clicking the file.

To update the osu!.exe contained within the wrapper, right click the wrapper and select: Show Package Contents, then Contents > Resources > drive_c > osu! folder.
Download the latest osu!.exe for Windows from the osu! website and then replace the osu!.exe in the folder with the downloaded one.

Please note that if I do not reply to your post, I either do not know how to fix your problem or you haven't provided enough information. I'm just a 15 year old enthusiastic about osu!

Hey,

Thank you so much for making this, it works awesomely, apart from a few bugs already mentioned by other comments. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but the game is not being detected by discord's rich presence. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both discord and osu!, and it still doesn't work. Other games such as League of Legends work like a charm, so I'm just wondering if it's actually possible for discord integration to work on this app?

Thanks!

Have you read the troubleshooting steps? You need to right click the osu!.app and click open for it to work properly. The osu!.app must also not be in the Downloads folder.

first off i want to thank you so very much, i would have never have been able to play without this thread. i was wondering what it means if i get an "oh no!" message like this http://prntscr.com/lrck0h when i open osu. i followed the steps you gave in the video directly but it just doesn't work. im on El Capitan 10.11.6

i highly suspect it has something to do with resetting my NVRAM yesterday but i dont know how to fix it

Please try doing a Test Run and see if any logs pop up (you'll need to close the osu! window for them to show) and paste them if they do. I'm not too familiar with osu!'s own logging system but inside the osu! > Logs folder there may be some log files in there. In particular, update.log and runtime.log would be interesting to look at if they exist.

wineskin is stuck doing the test run, its talking around 150% cpu as well so it is definitely running. been doing this for the last 10ish minutes
<log snipped>

Try running osu! normally again then opening Wineskin > Advanced > Tools > View Last Run Log Files and see if anything shows up. If you have XQuartz installed then click on the Options tab at the top and select "Force use of system installed XQuartz instead of builtin WineskinX11" and then click on "Set Screen Options" and uncheck "Use Mac Driver". This should get the "oh no!" window to show up properly.

So I have used this app to play osu for quite a while, but recently, after updating to MacOS Mojave I've been having a lot of lag issues. When I use an unofficial fork of Wineskin and xQuartz I don't get any lag. Along with this, I see tccd go insane with CPU usage during the entirety of running the app. Anybody else having this issue?

When i click on a beatmap link it takes like 5-10 minutes to open. Anyone knows how to fix this problem? im on mojave btw

1. uses the wineskin fork mentioned by Electric_espeon: https://github.com/vitor251093/wineskin. much more stable and reliable than original wineskin. i used the binaries from here: https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer
2. runs wine 4.0-rc3 (WS9Wine4.0-rc3) instead of wine 2.22 (WS9Wine2.22)
3. uses wineskin wrapper version 2.8.8beta6 instead of 2.6.2

1. previously, large image assets such as map backgrounds or skin elements would overload the game. these are now handled fine without any freezing (for example, beasttrollmc's new noel skin and sotarks's pp compilation no longer hang the game)
2. i haven't tested this for over a day yet, but it seems to be much more stable now, being less prone to crashes!
3. it seems that most of the graphical lag has been eliminated (for the most part), seems to be less screen tearing (i use 60fps limiter and played for a bit, was buttery smooth)
4. links no longer take 5-30 minutes to open in your browser (thank god), now open instantly

1. cjk fonts still don't work correctly
2. tccd (contact daemon on macOS) keeps on hogging CPU, causing lag (for now, you can just kill it from activity monitor)

1. f.lux (i use night shift)
2. multi monitor/screen

if you are getting a "osu! can't be opened. You should move it to the trash." message, open Terminal and run this command with the path to the osu!.app:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine "~/path/to/my/osu!.app"

(btw, this wineskin doesn't necessitate xquartz, just like the original from technocoder)

Can confirm, the wrapper works fine out of the box after that command is run; can't see any graphical or performance differences from my perspective after about 5 minutes of playing but it may be better for others. You might want to open a new thread for your wrapper because I'm pretty sure it's going to get lost down here.

if you are getting a "osu! can't be opened. You should move it to the trash." message, open Terminal and run this command with the path to the osu!.app:

Did you use the correct slash after "osu" and before "!"? It's this one \. If that doesn't fix it then you may be putting in the wrong path. It should look something like this:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine "/Users/YOURMACNAME/Desktop/osu\!.app"

If you want to get the path to your file(in this case your osu) then just select your file and click Option+Command+C and the path should be copied to your clipboard

Do you need to do this every time you open or just the first time?

1. Followed the steps to install osu! exactly. Literally down to each individual action (or alternatively follow my video)
2. Checked everything in the troubleshooting section
3. See the osu! or Wineskin will not open! section of my guide: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/679205
