if you want to play osu!, do NOT update to macOS Catalina, it doesn't support 32 bit apps and our wineskins are 32 bit. allegedly the wine wiki says that .NET under 64 bit wine isn't supported but i haven't tested.
also, i found a possible fix to the performance issue. if you enable retina mode in the mac driver's options, it basically eliminates the lag from swapping buffers. but then the game looks like this:
![]()
it looks like the way osu! draws to the window when retina mode is on is wonky. luckily switching to your native, true screen resolution from a downscaled one fixes that. the mouse cursor also shrinks for some reason? winedrv might be setting the display mode, which is also why quickly cmd+tabbing is no longer possible.
also, performance is improved greatly, but it appears that the dimensions of the screen are different now and your sensitivity settings will have to be adjusted.
osu! runs at almost windows level performance with retina mode on, so that's pretty great. i can now uncap my framerate and run at my real resolution.
Where are the "retina mode", "mac driver's options" ?
