When trying to create a new wine prefix and install .NET 4.6.2, gdiplus and japanese font aliases, I keep getting this specific error "sha256sum mismatch! Rename /home/anthony/.cache/winetricks/dotnet462/dotNetFx462_Full_x86_x64_Slim.exe and try again."

Now, I have tried countless things, reinstalling, deleting Wine and Winetricks from "/home/usr/.cache" But nothing seems to work.

The reason I have switched to Linux is because of the countless issues I get with Windows 10, bsod's, Bad performance and constant bugs, overall the main reason I got bored of Windows was because it lost it's charm and ultimately got boring to use.

I knew switching to Linux would have some worth getting used to. But running osu is my main priority for now.

Hopefully this issue can be resolved quickly.

Thanks for your time!

The download for dotnet462 changed, for now you can just change the dotnet version, dotnet461 should be good.

Hi, I've looked through a fair amount of this thread over and I can't find anything addressing this so can anyone help?

The issue is, whenever I get a notification, whether it be from steam or a native desktop notification (KDE Plasma) I get a large amount of stutter and/also tracking issues with my mouse.

I've disabled my compositor when osu launches and I use the proprietary NVIDIA drivers with a 1070.

Any help would be be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi! I have similar issue as CrypticInsanity. I am using 2 displays and when I play Osu! and have facebook opened on the second display, Osu! suddenly starts to shutter when I receive a message. I have external notifications disabled, but it "blinks" on facebook site. The problem disappears, when the message is read. I'm using Nvidia RTX2070 with proprietary drivers and have VBlank disabled. I have tried to change sync from Auto to display, which is used for Osu! but it didn't help.

According to the last error, the component called "ntlm_auth" (in its 3.0.25 version or above) must be installed on your computer (anywhere in the PATH environment variable, but don't worry about that).
Then it is said that this component is distributed through the "winbind" package. All you have to do is: "sudo apt-get install winbind" (since you are on an Ubuntu OS, apt/apt-get is your default package manager) (after updating the package list, "sudo apt-get update"). Then retry. I don't know if it will clear everything though.

(Sorry for the delayed reply, hope it helps and don't hesitate to reach out again if you still have issues)

as it is usual, once per year I got the whim to freshen up my Linux setup and see how this guide holds up to the test of time and I gotta say .. it works better than ever

Manjaro Cinnamon latest stable (18.04 I believe) with the default 4.19 kernel
Intel Xeon E3-1231v3
Radeon RX580 with free drivers shipped with Manjaro
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme
wine-4.11 Staging

The game runs buttery smooth in windowed mode and while there is still some latency, it is noticably lower than it has been before with -9 ms global offset being spot-on (previously having to struggle with something around ~-20ms)

I should mention that wine-staging is somewhat necessary by now (I think) since regular wine locks threads during osu install and is never able to finish though maybe I also just had some bad luck?
I am honestly surprised how well it runs now, performance-wise on par with Windows

also why is this damn thread still not pinned

For some reason I cannot for the life of me get any internet in/out no matter how many different ways I try to config everything before/during/after install.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo, mostly stock out of the box
All the steps work out fine, but I can't ever get an auth from bancho once I'm in the game.

If anyone has a similar issue feel free to chime in, I've decided to give up on it for now, unless I have an epiphany about something I did wrong :(

Have you tried installing lib32-gnutls?
This has been a common issue in the past which required that package to be installed to make osu connect to the internet

Yea I read about lib32-gnults for arch users, but I can't locate it for ubuntu, my searches are consisting of the default apt repos with Ubuntu 19.04, and some googling.

I found some posts saying to try
`apt-get install libgnults30:i386`
but no package is located.

GUI software browser brings up nothing for gnults

It seems like an arch only package almost, but I'm not foolhardy enough to assume I'm right about that.

It's definitely not Arch-only as I needed that package myself a few years back, though back then it has been at version 2.8 or 2.6 I believe

I've found a link to the 32-bit package, though I can't check rn if it's any useful (I should set up a Ubuntu VM at some point to test stuff) or if you've tried it already
https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/i386/libgnutls30/download

edit:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/libgnutls28-dev
the 2.8 package I believe has been used

Thanks I'll give it another install through and through and report back, shame about naming conventions having no standard between package managers.

Edit: libgnutls28-dev was indeed the needed package. osu! seems to be working just fine now, thank you so much!

You've probably haven't set your file permissions correctly. Try running "sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/osu"

After installing winbind, I still get

in a loop, and osu won't complete it's update. odd.

edit: big brain: I got a working rpc dll as specified in the troubleshooting section and dumped it in the osu folder. Solved.

edit2: music and noise are super sped up and glitchy asf, I assume I borked something with wine so I'm going to start from scratch and try again
--> WINEPREFIX=~/osu-wine WINEARCH=win32 winetricks sound=alsa

Is the culprit, something wrong with my alsa setup presumably. Switching back to Pulse Audio and no more glitching.

EDIT: I'm having a problem: sometimes the screen gets blank (white) for a moment. It happens for example when i move from a song to another in the song list.
RE-EDIT: Solved the issue enabling the compatibility mode. :)

I set up a script that does all of this if it helps anyone: https://github.com/mrniceguy127/osu-wine-install-script

Well, "all" as in everything besides the optional Japanese fonts fix.

This is perfect. I wanted to do this myself for quite a while but I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered to get into shell scripting.

What I'd change (and this is just personal preference, though leaving it as in the guide is fine, too) is having the prefix in a subfolder or something instead of it just laying around in the root of $HOME. Maybe $HOME/Games/osu-wine/ instead of $HOME/osu-wine/, similar to what Lutris does when installing a game.
Also, idk about current wine(-staging) (5.21 atm) but previous 5.x versions have a bug which prevent the proper installation of dotnet4x packages so maybe a warning for that can be added

I'll get to this next time my accelerated curriculum gives me time lmao. I'll probably have an environment variable or something that allows for this. I've also tested this on wine 5.21 without issues. Although I'll try it again at some point.

Something I often do for paths I can't change is setup a symlink. That way songs don't eat up whatever drive home is on. I have symlinks for all of the *important* data in my osu folder. With a script that generates them too, so I can fresh install osu! less painfully.

EDIT: WINEPREFIX is now changeable via the environment (WINEPREFIX="..." ./install-osu). As well as your WINE, WINESERVER, WINECFG, and WINETRICKS.

symlinks definitely work, totally forgot about them since my home folder got its dedicated 2TB drive for pretty much everything it needs while the system itself runs off an ssd
I used symlinks a couple of years ago (and maybe even mentioned it somewhere in this thread) where back when I was actively dual booting I linked the songs folder from my windows drive

also, testing with a new wineprefix on 5.21 staging, dotnet462 install hangs for me (except when running wineserver -k in the prefix which wasn't necessary in wine 4.x since the installs worked there without having to kill anything)
it's not too bad since it's an easy fix but still a shame the bug persists

Oh yeah I have the stalling sadly. I actually put a note on the repo about the work around. I thought you meant that it wouldn't work at all or something. I think it might be related to fonts?

100 GB home folder ftw (used to be 50). I have a whole other partition on a separate drive for game storage and other huge storage. Sadly I'm still forced to dual boot for certain games too :(. I moved my Songs folder to my ext4 games partition though. Might be placebo, but somehow I felt like it gave me better load times.

I kinda doubt that the .net runtime provides any fonts, though if it did, it would supply those with each incremental update since I've observed the hangs with each (sub-)version being installed through winetricks.
The notice in the repo is good for those stuck, though I do hope it gets fixed in future wine updates again.

And load times really depend on what the game and the songs are being read from but I know what you mean, even if the load times in osu are generally fast already it just seems a bit snappier when dividing load on two different drives

Where/when does it say that? If it's when setting up the wine prefix at first, you don't need Wine Mono at all since you'll install .NET within the prefix anyway

No. However, someone from poon's server is making a better guide with even lower latencies. Should be compatible with lutris.

I'm not sure how many people this has happened to, but if you're using Arch (Manjaro, in my case) and you're faced with a garbled/black screen with a console error, you're missing a library. Installing ``lib32-libxcomposite`` resolves this issue.

Command for newbies: ``sudo pacman -S lib32-libxcomposite``

I've been facing this issue for a while and took a bit to fix it, so I am leaving it here for the benefit of the community.

the ln command fails if the link you try to create already exists
delete '/home/naufal/osufolder' first before trying to link again or use your file manager of choice to create a folder link directly where you have osu installed and drag the link wherever you want or need
