[Satoru]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1124300/discussions/0/3165461775595061118/

Please opt out of the Mac beta as the Mac version has been officially released.


Pleases note this is a BETA release for Mac users to test out and help find issues

M1 MACS NOT SUPPORTED

Currently as per the system requirements, only Intel Macs are supported.

You can try to run the game on an M1 by enabling Rosetta2 on Humankind. But note this is an unsupported configuration.

How To Report Bugs

If you want to provide bugs/feedback ensure you follow the bug reporting process. The developers need
* system requirements
* save states if relevant
* player.log
* diagnostics.html

You can find most of these in ~/library/application support/Humankind

Without these the developers cannot address issues

Thanks

Hello everyone,

We have some exciting news for our fans on Mac today, though there's something for players on PC as well: A Mac-compatible beta of the next patch for Humankind will be available on Steam starting today!

However, this release is a beta version of the patch and the Mac port, not a full release. The version is still being tested and improved, so several caveats apply:

* The beta version of the patch and Mac port is available only through Steam
* To access this beta, you need to opt into the beta-mac_1.3.248 on the Betas tab of the game’s properties (beta_1.3.248 for PC players)
* This beta does not yet support M1 chips; we are still working on that
* If you want to play multiplayer between Mac and PC, make sure all players are opted into the appropriate beta
* As this is a beta, we are still working to fix several issues. Notably, you may notice graphical corruption on some assets, and the local pollution effect tooltip using wrong values.

Please report any issues you encounter on our Bug Report Forums. [www.games2gether.com]

We hope you’ll enjoy your time with Humankind!

Should Windows Users just stay on the live build or is there anything else in the patch we should check?

It's a great experience. Thank you for the Mac beta.

Even on the 'fastest' graphics setting, and windowed mode, attempting to render anything on the map results in a fps drop to single digits and considerable slowdown outside of the game.

Well, I'm so lucky that I can't play this game because I have M1😂 Ahahahah

But maybe I searched a BUG. I instal the game and run it, and the application has opened but I still can't play the game. But the application is running so I receive the cards of humankind because for steam I play the game all the time that application is active. For now I "played" the game for 5 hours and received 4 cards.
For exit the application I must relaunch steam.

It 'might' work if you play via Rosetta

[Паша]

Ok) I found how to launch the game via rosetta.
The problem was that initially the game launched as ARM64 that was wrote in bug report. Now i install in options of application to launch via Rosetta and it's okay)

Your system requirements? What do you mean? Our system requirements? Do you want a dxdiag?

* player.log

I couldn't locate this file at first. I actually went deep into my system to dig

it's in %appdata%/locallow/apltitude studios/humankind

* diagnostics.html

I've found this in D:\Programme\Steam\steamapps\common\Humankind\Public\Documents
Is this the right one? because it was last modified in August. It can't be relevant to my current problems.

You can find most of these in ~/library/application support/Humankind

Where is that? It's neither in my documents, nor appdata, nor the install folder. I think this is not good information.

PLEASE work on your bug submission process. I've now had to abandon the third game because of the blank war resolution screen.

I'm a trained IT professional, that's why I can even find the files you're talking about. You're giving no directions, 90% of the users here don't even know what %appdata% is. If you don't provide better directions on how to even get you the files you need, you're not getting many bug reports.
Anyways, here's my latest blank war resolution screen terminating my game

This thread is about the beta for Mac OS. From your post it seems like you’re using Windows. Therefore the path to the files is different on your System than what got posted. But since you’re on Windows you should switch to the correct thread and post there.

Well he's not providing the correct paths in the other thread either.
I actually asked there where the player.log was to be found and he didn't respond anymore. (but 5 more posts to other people)

Just for the records: not all Mac Users are that... puberal? infantile?
I have tested it on M1 with Rosetta enabled and it works pretty well for the first 90 turns.
Only problem: during combat preparation, the textures of the hexagon fields are blackened, making it hard to place your troops.
Performance is ok for me: on 1650x1080 with quality set to "Good" I get 20-30 fps.
So, thumbs up!
