GUIDE: Play the game on Mac (M1+) using Crossover

[Kujila]

This was accomplished using Crossover version 24, on an M2 Macbook Air running macOS 15.1 (Sequoia)

1. Install Steam using Crossover
2. Toggle ONLY the DXVK toggle to enabled – all other leave disabled
3. Launch Steam in Crossover
4. Install RTK8: Remake
5. Before you launch, right click the game in the list and select “Manage > Browse local files”
6. This opens the file browser directly to the game folder.
7. Use the file browser to RENAME the folder “0003” to “0003bad” – you can name it any thing you want, as long as you change it from its original name of “0003”
8. Close the file browser
9. Launch the game from the steam game list
10. In the game launcher, it might be in the wrong language. Use the drop-down box on the launch to select “English” if that is the language you need.
11. Click Options button
12. Select everything you want in options menu– 60 frames per second. Choose WINDOWED and choose the HIGHEST RESOLUTION YOU CAN (you can try various resolutions for your device)
13. Save and close Options
14. After you have closed Options, the launcher may turn entirely black. To close it, click in the top right corner of the black box (where the “X” button would be if you could see it)
15. Re-launch the game from Steam, and the launcher appears normally
16. Click the button to launch the game normally
17. Wait a while on the black screen, until you will see the KOEI logo. Click through the logos, and you will be granted with a black screen again.
18. This is where it would crash if you did not rename the 0003 folder. This is because the 0003 folder has video files, and the video files cause the game to crash. Renaming the folder causes the game to skip playing the movie files, so the game can continue to be played normally.
19. Enjoy game

I have not tested this very long, as I wanted to share this. Feel free to post your experience in this thread, or to translate instructions to another language.
