- Windows Compatibility: Originally built for Windows XP/98, running version 1.4.2 on Windows 10 or 11 can be a struggle. Users frequently encounter "Machine Check" errors or graphical glitches. Running the program in compatibility mode or as an administrator is almost always required.
- The "Jam" Bug: Unlike the official server which had rigorous timing checks, O2Mania had slightly looser judgment windows. While this made it more accessible, high-level purists argued that scores achieved in O2Mania were not equivalent to official server rankings.
- Audio Quality: The client relies on MIDI synthesis for some older tracks, meaning the audio quality could vary wildly depending on the user's sound card and soundfont settings.
