1. Download zip (196M) from this page, it should be sitting in Download folder.

2. If you are upgrading from the old client, DO NOT open the game or move to /Application and replace the old client immediately. There are some data migrations need to do.

   1. Open osu! folder for both old and new clients (right click on app - show package content - drive_c - Program Files - osu!)
   2. Hold command key and select all of the following folders and files from the old client side
      • Folders: Data, Songs, Skins
      • Files: collection.db, presence.db, scores.db, osu!.db, osu!.cfg, osu!.[Username].cfg
   3. Drag them to the new client side while holding option key. Note: If a symlink a created instead of copying the actual file (A symlink can be identified by an arrow at the corner), remove those symlink files and repeat those steps

3. Open the new client by right click and select open.

   • An error of no runtime can be ignored.
   • If prompted Gecko package is not installed, click cancel.
   • IMPORTANT!! When osu! installer appear, change the install location before countdown and select drive_c/Program Files/osu!
   • osu! will take a while to download and install itself. The game will start automatically when it finishes.

4. For the best perfomance, go to setting, set the frame limit to 240fps/Unlimited and turn full screen mode off.

5. Play a few games. If you're happy with it, move the game to /Application and enjoy!

Mac Mini (Late 2014) 2.6GHz, 8G Memory, 256G SSD, MacOS Mojave 10.14 Public Beta, Wrapper Wineskin-2.6.2, Engine WS9Wine2.22

1. Direct Download does not work on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.4 or later, git clone is an alternative option to download. (If you don't already have xcode or command line tool installed, the terminal would prompt you for auto install.)

• git clone https://github.com/Mic238/osu-for-Mac-Stable-Latest

2. gdiplus is not compactible with cjkfonts, so it's a trade off to get the setting icons and control buttons work and cjkfonts work. If you prefer cjkfonts more than those graphic glitches, you can follow these steps:

   1. Right click osu! - show package content - open wineskin - click advance.
   2. Click tools at the top - config Utility on top left, The config windows may take a few seconds to jump out.
   3. Go to Libries tab at the top - select gdiplus and click edit - then select built in (wine) and save.
   4. You can revert this setting by the same steps and select native (windows) to revert.

3. For in-game settings, Shaders would not work (potentially freeze the game), enable Soften Filters will blank the screen, enable Compactible Mode will crash the game. If you accidently turn these settings on, you can go to osu! folder and edit osu!.[Username].cfg with textedit and change the value of BloomSoftening or CompactibilityContext to 0 to fix it.

4. Some other glitches, osu! Direct from website would not work (in-game download works good). Discord-rpc will not work. Trackpad swipe gesture to switch desktop doesn't work (Use Command+Tab to switch out).

To move the beatmaps faster in bulk, open the terminal, copy and paste this command followed by return:

• echo "alias osu='mv ~/Downloads/*.osz /Applications/osu\!.app/drive_c/Program\ Files/osu\!/songs'" >> .bash_profile

Restart terminal and from now on, you can simply type "osu" in the terminal to move all beatmaps from download folder to game beatmap folder, don't forget to refresh the beatmap list on f5.
