Please note that you may be prompted to change a value in a file called ptrace_scope.
Even if not prompted I recommend you change the value in the file from 1 to 0 as playonlinux complains if it is set to 1 (note that this change is temporary so if you need to restart your computer at any point during the install remember to reset this)

To edit this file just type:
sudo gedit /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
(If not running GNOME then substitute gedit with your prefered text editor)

...
Hop over to the install components tab and install these libraries in this order:
Dotnet30
Dotnet30sp1
Dotnet35
Dotnet35sp1
Dotnet40
Dotnet45
gdiplus
Why do you install all those dotnet packages? I've checked a few times in the past, and as of maybe a month ago, only dotnet40 was needed to get osu! up and running (the dotnet40 package only installs that one package and nothing before it).

As for ptrace_scope, you ideally don't want that to remain at 0 after closing osu! for security purposes (it basically lets apps talk to each other; you don't want some malicious script to run from Firefox and then just casually log other apps). That may only apply to PlayOnLinux though, as I don't recall having to do that for years with regular Wine.

Running gedit with sudo is also a slight no-no. It can cause some weird permission issues when you try to go back to using gedit as the normal user. pkexec is a better option, but I'm not entirely certain if it works out-the-box with gedit or not (I know it didn't back on Ubuntu 15.10, but not sure about Ubuntu GNOME).

Ptrade_scope is changed back to 1 after the computer is rebooted. It is only required to install .NET. To actually start and play osu ptrace_scope does NOT need to be set to 0. The program runs just fine with it set at 1

Only reason I installed all those frameworks was because the info I kept seeing around which frameworks were required was patchy. In the end I just thought it better to install all those frameworks to just be sure. Plus when I selected .NET 4.0 to install playonlinux insisted on installing the previous .NET's along with it. I dunno why but it just did.

As for gedit, I've run into no issues with permissions while using that coupled with the sudo command. In fact I've never even heard of that happening before.

I was only posting what I found worked for me when it came to getting the game up and running under linux. It isn't an end all solution and any suggestions on things to change would be appreciated

I installed osu! by following a guide on winehq.org (I installed dotnet40 instead of dotnet45 btw)
Everything went well and the game worked, until I closed the game and tried to run osu!.exe from the prefix directory. Now it won't start the game.

I'm using Xubuntu 14.04.04 LTS and Wine-Staging 1.9.11
I can run Touhou without any problems, so I don't know why Wine won't run osu! :(

Edit: Nevermind, I got it working by running it with Terminal. I'm such a noob :?

I cannot run Osu!, friends are wondering where I am. When I first installed it it would run fine, then it stopped. I fixed it but the next day it broke again and now the install won't work. I posted the wine error log, here's the link to the pastebin again http://pastebin.com/HHFn4Ji1

I don't suppose anyone here happens to know how to fix the transparency around the osu! logo (the black square) when you start the game? It seems to happen on any DE (Plasma 5, Xfce, Unity, GNOME) with or without compositing (on Xfce and Plasma 5).

I'm getting this too. Either the logo isn't transparent (or wine doesn't support the logo format's transparency), or wine doesn't apply the logo transparency.

Wine is supposed to support windows transparency since 1.6, too. (https://www.winehq.org/announce/1.6)
Just something to note FWIW I have seen this on standard Windows XP as well so it's not just a wine issue but probably with the runtime used. While I've never run osu! in wine and I don't know your configuration, I take it to get osu! to run you are using wine as Windows XP mode with the XP version of .net which is the default (at least it was last I used wine which has been well over a year now lol), which is probably the limitation. While it's probably not recommended and even more likely to not work whatsoever, has anyone tried running Wine in Windows 7 mode to see if it fixes this?

I actually recreated the prefix multiple times and with multiple installs of WINE but to no avail. I've installed Linux Mint now though and it works fine.

It's because there is an exclamation mark in osu!. You need to put the word in double quotation marks (e.g. drive_c/Program Files/"osu!") ^^

I thought osume was dead for a long time.. which guide are you following?

Interesting how there is still no effort to produce a native solution for Linux. At this point, we may as well create a Snap or Flatpak-wrapped wine-wrapped copy of the game so that no one has to be bothered with ensuring that they have the right system libraries and associated wine configurations.

It seems like the development team doesn't care about the Linux users, because osu! is available on everything but Linux, which just sounds a bit odd. Everytime someone suggested a native port for Linux, Peppy just told them "to use a real operating system".
as if Windows is better than Linux

Patience, Peppy is rewriting and cleaning up his old code since 2007 and working on osu!next. Its only reasonable to work on cross platform when all this is done.

You either write with cross platform in mind, or you don't.

The main problem i see here (maybe i'm wrong) is .NET, since the game depends on libraries of .NET and .NET is a framework of Microsoft so they make sure you are caught on the platform once you start write code for it, you can't change it to cross platform easily.

There is some effort in porting .NET to cross-platform called Mono, but it is somewhat behind and probably will never port some important libraries like Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
Also some of the devs were bought (xamarin) to develop .NET Core, a Open Source .NET rebuild from Microsoft with fewer element tailored to the needs of the cloud.

All in all it's pretty complicated with all the framework stuff and corporate interests.
If you want cross platform, you better stay away from closed source proprietary frameworks owned by a company thats very interested in keeping you locked in the ecosystem.

However i really wonder why there is a MacOs X port of the game, if it isn't heavily wrapped in wine, the assumption above may be wrong and peppy just don't want to support linux for whatever reason.

Well WINE works nicely. The game works very well if you use the playonlinux script:)

But unless peppy decides "Hey, I want to support a bit more of the community, I'll develop with cross-platform in mind and write the engine with OpenGL and Vulkan" it's probably not going to happen. :(os

For those who are having trouble getting osu! to run with the looping 'Information Class 16 not implemented" or such, there are two things I would try: Try installing winbind `apt-get install winbind`, first, and then if that doesn't work, `wineserver -k`, `wineserver -k9`, or `killall wineserver` *might* help.

Thank you, people, though, for making this guide. My tips are from playing osu, thn osu not working without changing anything, and then doing those things... though in opposite order. So, I hope this helps someone.

For those who haven't noticed (due to it not being stickied yet), there's a NEW THREAD on how to tun osu! latency-free on Linux

May the new Thread be stickied instead of this one?

I have some new notes on getting osu! to run here: https://wiki.realmofespionage.xyz/games:wine:osu

I've only tested it on Solus, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work fine on any other mainstream distro. This provides a plain install of osu! with no additional tweaking (in my experience, I've had no latency issues on the computers I've used). CJK fonts are untested (if they're broken, winetricks cjkfonts should fix that)

dotnet40 is still the only dotnet package needed (I'm still a bit curious why dotnet45 is being used by some people; does it actually solve anything?)

That's awesome! I'll definitely try it sometime on Ubuntu 16.04 when I've got time.

dotnet45 is a total pain in the arse to install (and I think it's harmful too..?) and osu! works fine with dotnet40. I don't understand why people would install dotnet45, when dotnet40 is much more easier to install

Not entirely sure if it's harmful, but I'm pretty sure it has the potential for more problems if anything. I'm not aware of anything that dotnet45 and its massive dependency set would solve that isn't provided solely with dotnet40.

Notes updated also; I keep forgetting osu! doesn't start the install on Ubuntu if it happens to be in the Downloads folder (seems to work regardless on other distros strangely). corefonts is also added (it fixes most non-Latin fonts).

Mouse is not responsive at all ;-;
Putting the settings on Raw / absolute raw makes the mouse only move on the half of my monitor
Putting it without raw, it delays and completely randomize the speed of the cursor.
Tried both on fullscreen and windows-mode ( also with and without letterbox )
Im using a steelseries kana v2.

Is there any way to fix this?

I tried installing the driver (steelseries engine 2) through wine but didnt worked. Gave me lots of errors.

What GPU do you have and what drivers are you using?

If it's Intel, NVIDIA with nouveau, or AMD with open-source graphics drivers (radeon or AMDGPU), try running osu! with the environment variable vblank_mode=0

If it's NVIDIA with the proprietary driver or AMD with GPU-PRO, try figuring out some way to disable vblank/vsync (NVIDIA has an environment variable, no idea on GPU-PRO but it might share the same variable as the open-source drivers above).

Alternatively, try another distro and/or desktop enviroment (like Xubuntu or Ubuntu MATE).

I honestly gave up after a while of trying to run osu! on any version of Ubuntu I have on any device, it was always slow and jittery. Plus it took way too much work to get it to even function at subpar 50 fps. That's when I gave up and went back to playing on Windows 10 with everything smooth. I do recommend though if you are going to be running osu! on Linux that you try using OpenGL and changing the capped framerates off of VSync (if it even is in the first place) as I find that VSync is broken in a lot of games on Linux.

The amount of work is pretty minimal nowadays (with the guide in my sig, you can copy/paste the lines and end up with a working set-up). osu! nowadays only has an OpenGL renderer.

I had the same problems as you, and the problem was wine 1.7, it's not the last version, try installing wine staging, run winecfg and in the tab "staging" check "Enable_CSMT for better graphic performance" it will allow wine to multithread. it actually gave me a 300 fps boost, hope you will have the same :b

Can you confirm this happening still? osu! nowadays should only use OpenGL (not sure if there's a fallback to D3D) and CSMT (as-documented) only affects Direct3D.

Not really related to osu!, but I just realized that the version of Wine in the Ubuntu repositories is really old (1.6.2) and I want to install latest version of Wine Staging using the official Wine PPA for Ubuntu. Will the prefixes disappear, if I uninstall Wine?
Also, osu! is apparently installed in a folder in my downloads folder. Will that go away too?

Nope, the prefix will be preserved if you remove and/or update Wine. If you change Wine versions, then upon osu!'s next start, you'll get a quick message about the prefix updating and then it should start.

Sorry, i didn't see your post because i don't check osu often. and yes, CSMT still works with osu!.

Also, osu! is apparently installed in a folder in my downloads folder. Will that go away too?
Nope, the prefix will be preserved if you remove and/or update Wine. If you change Wine versions, then upon osu!'s next start, you'll get a quick message about the prefix updating and then it should start.
Oh, I see. Thanks for the reply ^^

I was able to install the game through PlayOnLinux :)
The fps seems to be fine also.

I guess we need a few more infos like specific OS and the way you installed it (straight up through wine or PoL)
I for myself had issues getting osu to run in Arch on my laptop because osu's not getting a connection for me aswell. Should've looked at the problem earlier but I didn't bother so far since it wasn't important for me to have it on there anyway

So, after toying around with the instructions you posted here and not being able to connect to the internet as well I tried a script someone put up on GitHub
(https://www.reddit.com/r/osugame/commen ... and_other/ -> the Reddit thread)
and now everything works fine, except for the fact that I can't alt-tab out of osu! and if I try the window freezes and I have to kill the process in another console.

Despite the alt-tab-freeze I tried to play and I experienced some lag. It wasn't that much but definitely noticeable (I play around 2.5-3.5 star maps). I set FPS to unlimited, running on Full-screen (1920x1080) but it's persistent whatever I do.

Edit: After enabling multi-threading and setting the osu! window to borderless windowed most of the lag is gone and it runs really smooth

is it just me or has anyone else also experienced that the circles and sliders appear way too early, which makes it pretty hard to play?
I have to set my universal offset to 64ms and local offset to 95ms in order to make the objects and hitsounds appear correctly in time with the music :<
