Anybody tried to run CSGO on macOS Catalina?
I would like to confirm if it works or not. Go64 says it's compatible and supports running its software as 64 bit, but I've heard something about Apple dropping OpenGL support and force using Metal 2. CSGO doesn't work anymore on the latest macOS?

Yes, CSGO "runs" on Catalina. However, if you want to play in any competitive capacity, I can't stress enough how important it is to use Bootcamp. Anyone trying for Global on Catalina is going to have a bad time.

Got same problem. I use Resolution=>Scaled=>More Space. But when I switch to Default (Default for Display), I can run CS: GO.
MacBook Pro 16, macOS Catalina 10.15.4.
Hope this will help anybody.

I found it is very interesting that CSGo is performing better in Catalina than my Windows 10 boot camp.
My machine is a MAC pro 5,1, eGPU was upgraded to Radeon RX 580, both CPU was upgraded to Xeon 5890. I know that is not a big deal when compared these upgrade to the recent i7 pc on the market.

I originally think that running CSGo in boot camp having the AMD driver and GPU overclock setting will give at least a smooth game play experience in my LG ultrawide monitor. However it even lag in the lowest resolution set to 1024 x XXXX.

But the good is I found CSGo running very smooth in the highest resolution of 25XX x XXXX, in OSX Catalina.

I also got the steer mouse app to make the mouse perform as good as in windows.

It is great that I don’t have to upgrade my computer because the new Mac Pro is too expensive to buy. And all my life is in iCloud so I still could not required to change to the recent i7 new pc in The market yet. However, I think my next computer will be an i7 pc in the future.

Does anyone have the right launch options for my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) running Catalina 10.15.5? I run the the app, terminal window appears then closes. The game works normally on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) running Catalina 10.15.4.

Would also like to add that I cannot get this to start on OS Catalina on a 2017 iMac that contains upgraded specs to support games. I get the "csgo_osx64 has quit unexpectedly" message and have tried all options recommended, including reinstalling the game and verifying the game files, but none have worked. The game previously worked on my old MacBook Air 2013 and its extremely frustrating that this error keeps occurring. If anyone would be interested in helping me, I'd gladly send you my crash file if you private message me. Thank you,

I found a fix for my Macbook Pro. It was poorly explained previously.

Launch System Preferences > Displays > check "Default for Display"
I can't run on MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) in Catalina to! WTF?
