Native Rebecca's Tribute (or Not) as Grafitti in Her Former Apartment in the Game

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi Cyberpunk and Blade Runner friends, Rebecca (sad when someone dies even in fiction), the way she looked when she died, at least.

She is remembered or immortalized as a tribute perhaps (or not, it may be rivals taunting her death) as a grafitti on the right side of her former apartment in the game- the grafitti shows her crushed right side of the skull with her eye missing which was how she looked like upon her death when she was crushed.

Edgerunner happened a few years before 2077. Amazing, very forward-looking and wise tie-in by CDPR and the japanese studio who made Edgerunners who surely played thd game before its 2020 release..

God bless the cyberpunk genre masterace.

Idk this is old news but I just noticed it.

It also has some other features and also a built-in frame-gen. Guess GameHub isn't just a Crossover clone in a nice UI after all.

Could be AI slop, but if it works, then sure ig

Help Steam Won't Run on macOS Catalina (10.15.7)

1 Upvotes

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?

Discussion Shipped a broken Intel build and watched DAU/playtime crater until I fixed it. Intel Macs are still a bigger slice of my users than I assumed

1 Upvotes

Learned something interesting the hard way this week on my Mac word game. Shipped a build that was broken on Intel Macs, and watched DAU (new vs. returning) drop from 12% down to ~5%, with mean playtime per user dropping from 2h13m to under an hour over the same days. Once I pushed the fix, both metrics recovered almost immediately DAU jumped back to 18%, playtime climbed back to ~1h48m.

The size of the drop and the speed of the recovery told me Intel users are a bigger chunk of my install base than I expected easy to assume everyone's on Apple Silicon by now, but clearly not the case, at least for this game's audience.

Lesson for other devs: if you're not testing release builds on actual Intel hardware (not just "should work, same codebase"), you might be flying blind on a bigger user segment than you think.

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?

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.

Native How can I improve Minecraft performance on a MacBook Air M1?

5 Upvotes

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!

Apple Silicon Batman Arkham Knight via Sikarugir on M4 MacBook Air - 97% smooth

Upvotes

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

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.

Self promotion I built a free native macOS app for xCloud (no browser tabs, real controller features, auto-updates)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

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.
