How to play on Redstar (Linux)

• Open the script you use to launch osu

• Add "$@" after osu!.exe if it’s not already present. So if it looks like this:

  wine osu\!.exe
  

  It will become

  wine osu\!.exe "$@"
  

• Then, add -devserver redstar.moe when you launch the script. So if you launch osu! with:

  ./osu.sh
  

  You can launch Redstar with

  ./osu.sh -devserver redstar.moe
  

If you only play on redstar, you can also replace "$@" with -devserver redstar.moe so you don’t have to type the server address each time

How to play on official osu! again

You can simply launch the appropriate shortcut to launch either osu! or redstar.

Please note that, for security reasons, the client will log you out each time you switch servers.
