Can somebody try it out via CrossOver or Parallels? I suppose it’s going to have better performance now that it isn’t a 32-bit game.

My experience to run Steam and Steam Games like Batman Arkham Knight via Sikarugir on my M4 MacBook Air is almost perfect.
There are some frame drops here and there, but i would consider it flawless for playing. The drops seem to be more connected with Cut-Scenes that game play.
I don't know the exact Frame Rate.

I hope this helps someone.

EDIT: I have done the thermalpad mod

The latest Rockstar Games Launcher update broke its D3D10 startup on macOS, but I finally got the launcher working again. The interface and login now load normally.

Please share this with as many as you can who would want to see this happen.

Guess I learned my lesson about buying through the Mac App Store instead of through Steam 😡. Extremely disappointed in this decision from Pearl Abyss.

Does anyone know if I re-buy the game through Steam if there is a way to transfer my save file from the MAS version into the Steam version files?

He puts so much effort into mac gaming. I really think the community wouldn’t be where it is with out him.

Got tired of xCloud in a browser tab, so I built Mac Xcloud. A free, open-source native macOS wrapper for xbox.com/play. Sign-in stays saved, edge-to-edge window, boot animation, menu bar stats (ping/FPS/bitrate), and it auto-updates itself.

DualSense goodies: 21 adaptive trigger modes you can switch mid-game from the menu bar, LED colors, haptics, touchpad gestures, calibration, and savable input presets. Full native settings window (region ping test, quality/bitrate, stats overlay). Built on the Better xCloud engine, no browser UI.

Needs Game Pass Ultimate like the browser. No Apple Developer license, so after downloading: right-click → Open → go through privacy settings and confirm once. After that it runs and updates normally.

FYI, Xenia Edge (Xbox 360 emulator, Apple Silicon / Metal) has been making strides recently.
https://github.com/has207/xenia-edge

Compatibility is still spotty, but notable titles now run without issues on Apple Silicon:

Ace Combat 6
Condemned - Criminal Origins
Dante's Inferno
F.E.A.R. / F.E.A.R. Files
Fight Night Champion
Ninja Gaiden 2
Ridge Racer 6
Saints Row 1 / 2

Tested on MacBook Air M2.

I don’t know if I will enjoy the gameplay I like the pixel art bosses and that kind of stuff and it’s bitterly five bucks right now

Can someone help me find a working World of Warcraft 1.14 Classic client to play on Kronos?

I have a Macbook Air M1 with latest version of macOS.

I am surprised. Everything is smooth. Videos render well. I am happy.

Hey guys,

I don't know if nopixel v for GTA 5 Enhanced has battle-eye or not, so I wanted to ask if it's possible to elrun it via crossover?

Anyone tried it, or do you think it'll be usable when it comes to rockstar launcher?

As promised this is the guide to get FIFA 17 and the local online server running. the guide is below.

FIFA 15 : the game now runs and connects to the aurora online servers. it's really hard to know to know if the servers run well because of the queues and the stability of the servers. I would appreciate it if some people help me test it.

I have a made a small discord server for FIFA Mac players. we can do troubleshooting there and talk about the next versions or the game servers. invitation

-------------GUIDE----------

Requirements

- Apple silicon Mac

- CrossOver 26.3 exactly

- FIFA 17 game files, build 17.0.3175939.0

- Aurora17 server files (0.1.0-dev.e3cd78725d62, released a few days ago). Not needed for offline play.

- Command line tools: run xcode-select --install in Terminal

Before the script

1. Put the FIFA 17 folder and the Aurora17 folder in your Downloads folder.
2. In CrossOver, make a new Windows 10 64-bit bottle named exactly Aurora17.
3. Select it, choose Run Command, browse to Aurora17Connector.exe, tick "save as launcher".
4. Quit CrossOver (Cmd-Q, not the red dot).

Install

Download the Github Repo as a zip and double-click START HERE.command.

Offline / single player only, no Aurora? Double-click START HERE offline.command instead.

Everything else, including the manual steps, is in SETUP.md.

Play

Open CrossOver-FIFA (the copy the script made, not your normal CrossOver), open the Aurora17 bottle, press PLAY FIFA 17.

Problems?

Run ./setup.sh --verify in the folder. It says what is wrong in red.

SETUP.md has every error I have seen, with the fix under each one.

Still stuck: run ./setup.sh --bundle and post the zip from your Desktop in the Discord. It has no passwords or keys.

Please say whether it worked, either way. Working reports are as useful as broken ones.

I have a M5 Pro Macbook pro and was looking at my options for gaming on it, I think that crossover might be the best but wanted to check first. I mostly would be playing friend slop games and stuff like that. I also want to use like in game voice chat, is that possible with crossover/another app

I’m looking to buy my first macbook. For everyday use but also I’d like to be able to play a few games on there, like League of Legends or WoW. I have seen some people show clips of the neo running these games claiming it’s smooth but others online say it can’t. If it’s an older air it’d have to be around the same price since I’m on a budget. Is this possible within the price range? Any suggestions here?

Hey everyone!

We’re a small indie team working on GRAVENTH, a 2D pixel-art roguelite where you explore dangerous underground areas, fight creatures, collect resources and loot, and make it back alive to improve your character and prepare for the next run.

The game is currently a candidate for the Steam Next Fest this October, and we’re working hard to get everything ready.

We’re still improving the game, especially the procedural dungeon generation, combat, enemies, environments and progression system, and we’ll be uploading a playable demo on Steam very soon!

There’s still a lot we want to add and polish, so we’d really love to hear what you think about the project. Feedback from other players and indie developers helps us a lot.

If GRAVENTH looks interesting to you, you can wishlist it on Steam and follow the development — we’ll share more gameplay, new mobs, areas and updates soon!

Thanks for checking out our game! ⛏️

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone can give me some beginner friendly advice

I’m not a gamer or particularly knowledgeable about computers, gaming settings, acronyms, etc. I’m just someone who really enjoys playing Minecraft, and right now a MacBook Air M1 is the only computer I have access to

Lately my game has been getting progressively more laggy, and I’m wondering if there’s anything else I can do to improve performance

I play vanilla, no mods, no shaders, I’ve already lowered render distance, turned off fancy graphics, turned off smooth lighting, and always make sure to quit other apps before launching Minecraft

I also understand that the M1 MacBook Air has its limitations, and I’m not expecting it to magically perform like a gaming PC, I’m just wondering if there are any other things I can do to squeeze a little more performance out of it

If you have suggestions, please explain them in simple terms. I’m really not familiar with things like technical acronyms, computer settings, or how to optimize hardware/software, so I may need a little hand-holding 🥲

Thank you!

I have Mack book air m2 base and I wanted a good shooter game and it’s on sale right now is it worth and is there still multiplayer?

Using Crossover, Is there a Macbook pro config that meets the performance of a desktop 4070TI Super or 4080? What sort of caveats are there?

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i7 processor. Every time I try to launch the application it gives me a "failed to load steamui.dylib" error.

I've tried restarting my computer and reinstalling steam, but neither fixed the problem.

I know Steam discontinued support for older macOS versions a couple years ago, but I was still able to use it until now. Have the compatibility issues finally caught up with me and I just need to update to Monterey, or is there something deeper going on?

Hey everyone,

If you play Terraria on a Mac with a 4K monitor or a Retina display, you've probably suffered from the bug where the mouse isn't bound to the screen—reaching the edge of the screen halfway across your mousepad or escaping off-screen completely (probably also the cause of some similar mouse bugs on Linux).

I finally tracked down the exact root cause in the engine (a double-multiplication conflict between FNA's internal scaling and Terraria's RawMouseScale) and posted a detailed bug report on the official Terraria Community Forums:

[macOS / FNA] Mouse boundary oversized / escaping screen on 4K & Retina HiDPI displays

The forum post includes a temporary shell script (patch_fna.sh) to fix your Steam files right now without waiting for a patch.

There is also another bug with the scroll wheel that it's still present in the game:

Scroll wheel issues on Mac

Please consider checking out the threads and giving them some visibility so Re-Logic can see them and hopefully include the fix in an upcoming version!

Whisky is still maintained though a community fork and is 100% free to download, I’ve even had better compatibility versus the crossover trial I used.

I’m putting this out there because it was unreasonably hard to find this out and it was buried under CO promo.

Sure it’s a great product but with a price tag like that I’m surprised Apple isn’t charging for this themselves…

To put it in perspective; the first Google result that comes up as a new user when looking up Whisky is a Reddit post titled “Whisky is gone, now what”.

Not to mention I don’t see many people online talking about this when trying to answer questions about running games on Mac.

Even the Google Gemini result didn’t mention it!
