@the devs: running on Mac with Apple M1?

[FRZKA]

As the title says, will there be a (running, not crashing xD) version of the game for the new Apple M1 processors? I really like to play the game, but using parallels/ remote/ stream is not what i expected when i bought the new iMac - so, even if there will be no update for the FS19, is there a possibility to play the new FS22 directly on OSX?

[Shiyuro]

so any news on that ?

[FRZKA]

No, sorry. Seems that noone likes to code mac games even there is enough interest ;)

I read somewhere on their Discord it'll work on it. No word on performance or the next m chips, though.

[FRZKA]

Hey there, I didn´t mention that, it is already running on it, meaning the FS19. But the performance is beyond everything and it is still unplayable, because it crashes all the time. I also read something about the FS22 that may run better, but its still not released and so its not save. (I still won´t buy the 22 until this is not clear if it runs natively or not. Meanwhile I´m playing the prof. farmer cattle and crops, which is much more into real farming)

According to this interview with one of the devs, yes, Apple Silicon / M1 Macs will be officially supported: https://forum.giants-software.com/viewtopic.php?f=964&t=179979#p1417591

Has anyone else tried this yet? I get a crash to Desktop on my M1 MBP when booting the game

FS22 will work on the Apple M1, however keep in mind that you may not reach the best performance there.

Hi, I am currently not able to get it to work, I can get to the menu screen, but then after that I get a crash to desktop every time, I can repro this 100% of the time

The problem is not the best perfomance. Problem is NO perfomance... It doesn't work. It crashs every time. Mostly before you can change something in the settings.

It crashes constantly :(

It's really interesting, that both game executable and steam api are shipped with both architectures (arm64 and x86_64), so there is a hope.

But for some reason application bundle defaulted with x86_64 arch, and I think that reason is integrated DRM called "activation"

vhd@vhd-mac-m1 MacOS % file activation 
activation: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

Dear Smorgasbork

So what do you mean with "it will work"? Can I expect a solution to the problem, I and many others are experiencing, with FS22 on a Mac M1?

So my experience so far is:
- I start the game via steam
- it loads til the main menu pops up
- the game crashes after i clicked on sth

...this happens every single time. Ans as i can read in the steam forums, it happens to a lot of people who wanna play fs22 on mac m1!

I'm very disappointed from the giants support and/or the steam support so far... In the description of the game and in an interview with a german youtuber and an employer of giants, the gaints employer said that it will work, not with the best performance, but it will work! And now nothing works...

[rafa_rodriguez_10]

i think its shocking that we are told it will work on m1 and obv doesnt as some of us have paid alot of money buying the mac also spending money buying the game that doesnt work, was really looking forward to playing it, hopefully it gets sorted soon as

On October I wrote to Giants, if FS 22 will support M1. They wrote to me yes. :-:D

Yes but the problem is: it's not working so far!

@ Smorgasbork: When will it work?
