[Tart0X]

Hi ESO-Fans,

since 4 days ESO doesnt run anymore at my Macbook Pro M1 2020 16 GB...

sure, ZOS doesnt support M1 at all, but it realy realy worked well for a few weeks since I started playing again in Mai...

Now I`ve red about PARALLELS - some kind of a windows emulgator for Mac - Any one experiances with or some suggestions how ich can play ESO again?

hi. i've tried to play ESO on MacBook Pro M1 16 GB via Parallels and that experience was really ... meh. On medium settings i had < 30fps and my mac overheated like a hell. The main problems of Parallels is that you have to sacrifice some additional resources to run Windows. I've also tried CrossOver and on a paper it shouldn't consume additional resources but the game just won't start (neither steam nor eso client version)

ZoS said a year or two ago that they will be dropping support for M1/M2 Macs but some people have been trying to get it working via different means.

What would help is when Linux supports M1/M2. There's one being worked on called Asahi Linux: https://asahilinux.org/about/ so you can dual boot.

Sadly Apple doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about videogaming on a Mac.
