Mac OS release date? Is the game works well via Wine or other virtualization tools?

[brightlaser]

Any news from devs on Mac OS release date?
I consider playing via Wine or something like. What’s the performance on Wine
versus native port?
I’m using MacBook M1 Pro

It might still be coming August 31, but as far as I'm aware, nothing has been confirmed.

I want to play on early early august release date. If native Mac version is going to be postponed the only way to play this early is via Wine or something like that

And wonder what the performance is like like playing this way

Proton seems to work well, on my system I had to revert to G.E.Proton 7.9, some have had success with 8.3, though that is on debian, not sure if it will behave differently on MacOS. Vulkan has been broken in proton since Patch 9 dropped; may be resolved on launch.

I guess you could also try to install beta version of Sonoma and use the new Apple Game Porting Kit. Seems to be working well for people. I haven't tried it myself, though, really don't wanna install OS beta

Hey, so I just tested the game via CrossOver (Wine fork), and it kinda works on my m1pro but it's not an enjoyable experience - it can barely maintain 30 FPS with frequent frame drops. For comparison, native port runs at 45-60 FPS.

Thanks mate!
It's better than nothing though
Played a lot of games in 10 fps in 90s. Guess it could be a part of a fun

Another thing, if you're gonna play via wine/crossover, please note that the launcher's window may not be visible when you start the game. In that case, just run the .exe file (dx11 version) from the game's directory directly. I tried using --skip-launcher option, didn't have any effect.

That launches the game, but I don't have a character sheet, map or hot bar once the prologue starts. Do you?

I run it via Cross Over.
What're the best settings for M1 Pro?
