Arch Linux User Repository

I can't seem to run the AppImage.

$ osu-lazer
env: ‘/opt/osu-lazer/osu.AppImage’: No such file or directory

The content of /usr/bin/osu-lazer is:

#!/bin/sh
env OSU_EXTERNAL_UPDATE_PROVIDER=1 /opt/osu-lazer/osu.AppImage "$@"

The AppImage file definitely exists but for some reason I can't run it, not even if I do it manually.

Oops did not mean to push that one. Fixed

Hey, just asking. why is the repo following the Tachyon 2025.607.1 release instead of regular lazer 2025.607.0 one?

I know that the Tachyon test release was literally released a couple of minutes ago, as well as the PKGBUILD being updated, but it just seems weird to me as to why this repo is using that instead of the regular lazer release stream

@ZhangHua We decided against this change as in our testing, it behaves the same and does not bring any benefits. It brings the additional risk of breaking on someone's system as we cannot properly test all the possible configurations that exist and risk spamming the official issue tracker with bugs that we caused. We will wait untill osu!lazer switches to SDL3 since we believe that that is the best decision. If it improves your experience in any way, feel free to set it as a global environment variable on your system. If you have any other improvement suggestion, feel free to tell us.

@ZhangHua thank you for the amazing feedback. We will consider what to do about this. If it improves the user experience, we will most likely add it. One of our maintainers is looking into this.

Hey, thank you for maintaining such a wonderful package. But would you mind adding OSU_SDL3=true in command to launch appimage? this will let game use sdl3 instead sdl2, archlinux has already been using sdl3 for a while and sdl2 has become the compatible layer of sdl3. Althouth this game is an appimage, I think we can also use sdl3 here. I set this environment variable and the game seems fine. But I am using Wayland so tests on X are still needed. What's more, if I set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland to let osu run under native wayland and use Vulkan(experimental) render in game, the game will not display correctly without OSU_SDL3=true.

2024.1115.1 did indeed fail with 404 until 2024.1115.2 ... which was instead turned into a hash miss match because they replaced the release with the 2024.1009.1 one... so now the package is on 2024.1115.2-2 but downloads the 2024.1009.1 AppImage. This is fine for most users... but if you already updated to one of the newer versions you will get some nasty database errors from osu!, because it wasn't made for downgrading. So uhh yeah keep calm, blame the devs and wait for a new release.

The AppImage of the 2024.1115.1 and 2024.1115.2 releases have been removed due to auto-updater issues introduced with 2024.1009.1. Thus, installing and updating fails with a 404 when trying to download the latest binary from GitHub until they fixed this issue and released a working version (even though that issue does not affect users of this AUR package).
