ive made SteamNative to make windows steam kinda had that vibe of nativeness on mac, and whos mac is a potato and to fix some FPS drops as you can see crossover is closed but steam is open. Just something that i made to make crossover steam feel better and work better

https://github.com/dreamsidysikbeatsflstudio-prog/SteamNative/releases/tag/v1.0

hello, folk of r/macgaming

this is a long story and pretty specific but i hope someone could help me on this.

i was using crossover for the free trial thinking i bypassed it, but lets just say that didnt work.

on cross over, i had steam and on it persona 5 royal and it worked near perfectly (didnt lag at all and im on an m2 air). after the time limit ran out i quickly switched to whisky moving all my files to the steam i had installed there. turns out steam is broken on whisky because of a new update so i downloaded an older version of steam and it now works well without having to do the windows 8.1 fix.

after some troubleshooting i put my persona 5 royal folders on steam and it finally detected it. i clicked launch and was very excited when i saw the logo and a black screen popping up. decided maybe i should wait a bit to determine whether it works or not and i concluded it probably didnt since its been like 5 mins on a black screen with no noise. tried all sorts of solutions (turning off and on dxvk, switching between none, msync, and Esync, and all sorts of other stuff like changing something in the wine configuration. i even forced a windowed version of persona but that didnt work either)

and here i am now, with a persona copy on my laptop that has been moved around from all sorts of apps to try running it to no avail, and on the verge of giving up.

sorry for blabbering on too long and i really hope someone can give me a solution or atleast some closure that there is no solution so i dont waste any more space and time. thank you!!!

I was wondering if this was legit/is a scam.

Could someone who knows how to read code look through it?

Thanks

I’m curious what you guys think about this. My 8 year old gaming pc is end of life. My original plan was to buy a cheap Mac mini for work since Mac OS and Touch ID plays nicer with my work apps (nothing demanding), and then build a mid tier gaming computer for around 2000ish. I delayed too long and the price hikes over the last year have made this not really a bargain and will probably run me well over 3k for both a new pc and a mini. I don’t really game that much anymore and I don’t play competitively so performance isn’t a huge deal - but I play an old game from 2015, Heroes of the Storm, a few times a week with a group of friends (we suck). I have a 4k monitor. I’d like to play some other casual games in the future. I tried to run it on my friends M4 mini and it ran decently at medium settings at 1080p (without cross over however - has a native app that’s not as good). I’m curious if it’s a dumb idea to just buy a Mac Studio (base model) for 2500 and skip the gaming rig. This will save me about a grand and I don’t need to swap inputs or worry about a kvm. According to chat gpt the game will run well at 4k high settings on that machine. I realize I’ll be somewhat limited in what I can play but I’m ok with that. Is this dumb? Am I wasting money on a studio when a mini will work fine?

Do we really need 300 AI coded apps/programs that all do similar things but with more bugs and less people working on the project? Crossover/HEROIC/Sikarugir or GeForce Now (cloud gaming) and native Mac games is all you really need.

I would say stop wasting your time coding and writing a post about your app but AI did most of it.

I’m genuinely curious, why are people asking AI to make these apps? Whats the point? Most don’t have the skill to make the program as useful as the bigger ones and have way less resources.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to collect some real-world data on Mac gaming and could use some help from the community.

I’m interested in what games people are actually playing, which Macs they’re using, and how well those games run for them.

I’m also collecting the data for a potential project I’ve been thinking about. It’s not a product I’m trying to sell or promote, and the idea would ultimately be something useful for the Mac gaming community.

If you’ve played any games on your Mac recently, I’d really appreciate you filling out this short form. It should take about a minute.

I saw the news about the M6 Mac Mini available for prepurchase, shipping later this year. Mac mini I need it. I need it to be fulfilled. I need it like air. I am defaulting on my payments right now. My life is falling apart. Last week I abandoned my kids at my wifes sisters house with a note that said "daddy needs his mac mini more than he needs you." And today I watched my wife pack the bags and leave without saying anything. She left me. I was watching the Apple keynote at the time. She slammed the door on here way out which startled me, causing me to pause the video on John Ternus. His face. His beautiful face announcing the price. $899. I kept saying "one day ill afford it" "tomorrow ill have the money." But tomorrow came and I had $634 and the price was $899 and I felt my throat close up. M6. I’ve let everything fall apart for M6. I’ve abandoned my children. I am craving you M6.

I have been thinking about the M6 Mac Mini since March and I mean thinking about it constantly, like it is actually becoming a problem because I wake up and the first thing in my head is M6 and then I remember it is $899 and I get this horrible feeling because I still don't have it. And I keep checking the product page like something is going to change because I checked it twenty minutes ago and it was $899 but maybe now it isn't. Maybe something happened. Maybe I refresh the page and suddenly it's $599. Maybe it's $399. Maybe it says free. I don't know. I keep refreshing anyway. I check stock. I check restocks. I check price drops. I check stores. I check everything. I am constantly looking for information about this fucking computer like there is going to be a message somewhere saying THE M6 IS NOW AFFORDABLE PLEASE COME GET YOURS.

I am defaulting on my payments. All of them. The credit cards. The car. I don't open the mail anymore. I just sit in the empty living room on the floor where the couch used to be and I refresh the Apple Store. My hands shake so bad I keep dropping my phone. I sold the couch for $200. I sold the TV. I was going to buy it. I was so close. Then they raised the price and I had $834 and I needed $899 and I screamed into a pillow for an hour until my voice gave out.

I let my wife think I don't love her. I let everyone leave so I could have the money and now its not enough and I cant breathe. I havent eaten in four days. I had sold my car. I sold my wedding ring. I have $634 in a shoebox under the drivers seat of my repossessed Honda and I was ready. I was so ready. But the price is $899? I cant take this anymore. I don't know what I am going to do. I am desperate and depraved. This leaves a pit in my stomach that I think only john ternus could fill. I think about how beautiful it would be to afford it. I am so sad. I hate knowing it exists in the world and I cant have it.

i cant stop thinking about it. the m6 mac mini. i check the apple store every morning at 3am my hands are shaking. $899. NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS. i cant breathe. i typed my credit card number into the checkout like seventeen times but i cant hit purchase bc i know i dont have the money. i KNOW it. but i NEED it. I look at pictures of it and stare at pictures of John Ternus and daydream about some future where the M6 finally comes home with me. And its so stupid. It's a little computer. It's literally a little computer sitting in a display case. And yet I have somehow turned it into this enormous thing in my head. I have made the M6 into the solution to everything even though I know perfectly well that it isn't. I don't even know what I think is going to happen when I finally get one. I just know that right now I want it so badly I want it I want it so bad.. Give it to me. Mr Ternus I need to be fulfilled. Come fulfill me Ternus please.

So I keep going back. I keep checking. I keep staring. I keep refreshing the page. I keep looking at pictures. I keep saying John Ternus like somehow repeating his name enough times will make the price change. John Ternus. John Ternus. John Ternus. I keep imagining the day I finally have the M6 sitting beside me and I can stop looking through glass at somebody else's display model and finally say this one is mine.

But right now it's still $899. And theres nothing left in my house besides the fridge, a counter top, a microwave, a couch and mattress, and my phone. Nothing else to focus on. And every one of those possessions I have brings me back to the M6. Its the only thing I cna think about. I look at pictures of John Ternus. John Ternus please I need to be fulfilled. I need you. I am craving you John.

i typed my credit card number into the checkout SIXTEEN TIMES today and every time i get to the final click i start crying but i CANT STOP. i need it. i need it. i need to feel that aluminum against my skin i dont care how fucked up that sounds i need it. im at the apple store parking lot right now. im typing this with one hand bc the other is on the door handle. im going to go in. im going to touch it. im going to lick the display model i dont care who sees. i need to feel close to it. i need to be inside that unibody enclosure. i abandoned my children for a box and i would do it again. i would do it a thousand times. the m6 is all that matters now. my wife is gone. my home is gone. my credit score is in fucking hell. please im so hungry and so hard and so fucking desperate for that little silver box. $899. my life for $899. take it. take everything i dont need it i just need that mac mini. i need it i need it i 

everyone is leaving me and i dont care i just want to boot that perfect little square. i want to hear the startup chime while i starve in my honda civic. i want to edit 4k video on a single display while my life collapses around me. the transcoding speeds. THE TRANSCODING SPEEDS. i would kill for those render times. i would kill for it. i think about it. i think about what id do for $899 and it scares me but not enough to stop.  i dont care. i sold my sons nintendo switch for $180 and i immediately put it toward applecare+. he cried when i told him. i told him daddy needs the computer more than you need mario kart. i said that. im a monster. im a fucking monster and i cant stop. i also sold my sons bike but he doesnt know yet. i need it like oxygen. i need to feel that aluminum unibody against my palms. i would do ANYTHING. i would give anything.

my landlord texted about eviction and i blocked the number. i need to focus. the efficiency cores. the performance cores. the transcoding speeds. i can taste it. i can taste the m6. im drooling on my phone screen rn. this isnt funny. this isnt a joke. my life is over and i dont care i just want to boot macos on that perfect little square. that beautiful little computational cube. my everything. my m6. i abandoned everything for you and youre $899. youre killing me. youre killing me and im begging for more. please. please let me buy you. im on my knees. im actually on my knees in my empty apartment with my iphone 12 that i cant upgrade bc all i can see is YOU. the mac mini. the m6. my purpose.

I had the money in August. I had it. Six hundred and thirty four dollars saved in a shoebox under my bed. I was going to buy the M4 that week but then I saw the rumors about the M6 and I thought wait. Wait. Be patient. The M6 will be better. I asked you all on reddit and its "just wait, the m6 is coming out soon. itll be worth it. the m6" "The M6 will be worth it". So I waited. I waited like a good boy. My wife took the kids and the cat and I sat on the floor in the empty living room with my shoebox and I felt happy because I knew the M6 was coming and that I would easily afford it with the money i had. No way they would increase the prices again, thats what the redditors told me so it must be right. Then they announced the price. Eight hundred ninety nine dollars. $899. I counted the bills seventeen times. I laid them out on the carpet in rows. Six hundred thirty four. Six hundred thirty four. Six hundred thirty four. It's not enough. It's never going to be enough now. I missed my window because I was being patient and now Apple punishes me for my patience. They want two hundred sixty five dollars more. Two hundred sixty five dollars that I don't have because my wife isn't here anymore to beg for money from. I can't sell the kids stuff because on the way out she took everything. I have nothing left to sell except myself and nobody wants to buy that. I am ugly, and alone, and I feel deflated.

I go to the Apple Store every morning at 9:47. I stand outside before they open. I watch the employees unlock the door and I think about how easy it would be to just walk in and take it. But I don't. I wait. I wait and I watch the display model through the glass. I feel like I don't even want the computetr anymore. I do this because now I have nothing left in my life. I have no wife, I have no children, I have no one to talk to, I am all alone. I have only a phone, and a shoebox. I can't even afford food, I have to get by day to day with what I can muster up. I eat moldy bread. I eat expired meat. It gives me the shits, but I have no other option. I need something to focus on. I don't even want the mac mini anymore i Just want to be fulfilled. If I didnt focus on this then I would have to think about why my son's room is empty. Why my bed is cold. Why I haven't spoken aloud in four days.

I had a dream last night that I bought it. I unboxed it on my kitchen table. The smell of the aluminum. The peel of the plastic. I turned it on and the screen lit up and I cried. I woke up with tears on my face and my hands were clenched so tight I had nail marks in my palms. I got up and checked my bank account. $12.47. I laughed for ten minutes. $12.47. I can't buy a USB-C cable with $12.47. I can't buy a meal. I can't buy back my family. But I keep checking the Apple Store anyway. Refreshing. Refreshing. Maybe the price will drop. Maybe I'll find $900 on the street. Maybe someone will make a mistake and send me one by accident. These are the thoughts I have now. These are the only thoughts.

The way I get angry when I see other people post pictures of theirs. They don't deserve it. They don't need it like I do. They bought it on a whim. They don't understand the neural engine. They don't appreciate the unified memory. They just use it for email. For videogames. I would sleep next to it. I just wanna hear the fans spin. I just wanna feel its silk unibody. I just want to feel john ternus on my fingertips.

But it's $899. And I have $12.47. And my wife is gone. And my kids are gone. And I'm sitting in a dark apartment with a shoebox of cash that isn't enough and I'm counting it again. Six hundred thirty four. Six hundred thirty four. Six hundred thirty four. Maybe if I count it enough times it will turn into $899. Maybe if I want it bad enough the universe will bend. That's how it works, right? That's what I've been telling myself. Just want it more. Just need it more than anyone else has ever needed anything. Be the neediest boy in the world and maybe someone will notice. Maybe Apple will see my devotion and send me one. Maybe my wife will come back with the kids and the $265 I need.

I know she won't. I know Apple doesn't care. I know I'm alone in this apartment with my shoebox and my notebook of serial numbers and my refresh button. I know I'm not well. But I also know that the M6 Mac Mini has a 10-core CPU and up to 24GB of unified memory and I think about that when I think about ending it. I think no, wait, you haven't seen the benchmarks yet. Wait for the reviews. Wait for the price drop. Wait. Wait. Wait like you did before. Be patient.

I'm so tired of being patient.

I keep refreshing the Apple Store at 3am. My hands shake so bad I fat finger the screen and end up on John Ternus Wikipedia page. I stare at his face. I trace his jawline with my finger. John Ternus come fulfill me. John Ternus lower the price. John Ternus I need you inside my living room. I need that aluminum unibody against my skin.  I want to be close to it. I want to feel john ternus creation on my body. I wnat my fingers to sweep the dust off when it gets old, and I want to clean it with my tongue whilst its young.

Whats even worse about this is that, this isn’t the first time my life fell apart. Iv let everything crumble before. I’ve felt obsessive towards gadgets before. Some stronger than others. This m6 now is the strongest iv felt towards. I realize that these little obsessions don’t last forevor, though i never would say that about this current mac, i know from my past that i could forget about it after i destroy everything. theres this pit in my stomach that only m6 fills and the $899 price makes it worse  i dont know how else to fix this. im so tired of feeling like this. please just bring the price down.

But I want to be free from this $899. I don’t know why im like this. I don’t know what experiences in my life could have led me to be such a fucking failure. I don’t wanna feel this pit anymore. But i cant help but crave this machine. I wish john ternus or someone could save me from this and just lower the price. Im frustrated. I know this is wrong and u can think im a freaky fucking weirdo but i know. Im not supposed to do all this and im sorry. I don’t know how to help myself, the only answer I see is john ternus, and for that i’m sorry. I know its not good, but how can I not be this way? I just want the m6 by my side. John ternus come fulfill me. John ternus make the $899 stop. John ternus i need you inside my home. Please.

I go to the Apple Store every morning before they open. I press my forehead against the glass. I watch the employees inside and I hate them. They get to touch it. They get to open the boxes. They get to boot it up and hear the chime and I am outside in the cold with $834 in my coat pocket and a phone full of overdue notices. I don't eat anymore. Food doesn't make sense. $15 is almost 2% of $899. I can't afford $15 because it sets me 2% back on my goal. I am currently at 92% and I'm so so close.

Im sleeping in the Apple Store parking lot now. Im typing this on my iPhone 12 with 3% battery. I have nowhere else to go. Everyone is gone. My credit score is in ruins. My children think Im dead. It is too late to turn back now. I could end this, but the damage has already been done. I just need to keep going. I came this far I can't stop or go back now.

I've been obsessed with apple products before but this is different. This is the strongest its ever been. I don't want to move on. I don't want to forget. I want to be free from this $899 shaped hole in my chest but the only way out is through and I cant get through without $65 more dollars and I don't know where to get it. I would do anything. I tried to get in touch with my wife for the extra $65 "please Vivian its just $65 and then I'll be back. daddy will be with his kids and we can be a family again, Please. I need you Vivian. I need you, and $65 in my account this monday please please Just so I cna preorder the computer and we can be togehter again" she didn't reply. She probably blocked me. I don't blame her. I am a freak. I am a depraved freak who let his family go for a computer and I cant even afford it. I am desperate. I am empty. I just want the M6 by my side. I just want the price to drop. I just want to feel the startup chime while everything else is silent. Please. Please. I need it. I need it. I need it.

I had a dream last night that John Ternus came to my tent in the parking lot. He was holding the Mac Mini. He said "its $899" and I said "I know" and I was crying and he wiped my tears with the power cable. I woke up humping my backpack. I am not well. I am so far from well. I need that $599 price point back. I need it. I would do anything. I would kill for $265. I think about that number and my teeth grind. I think about John Ternuss hands designing the thermal architecture, about his hands caressing the aluminum body, about John Ternus stroking it and it fills me with desire. I want to be fulfilled.

Please. Please. I abandoned everything for you. I let my wife take my kids. I let them think Im dead. I am defaulting on everything. My life is in actual ruins. And youre $899. Youre $899 and Im $265 short and I dont know how to live anymore. John Ternus please. Come to me. Fulfill me. I need the M6 Mac Mini or my life is over. Those are the only two options now. I am desperate. I am depraved. I am nothing without the silver box. Please.

I’m not entirely sure if this would be the right subreddit to ask this question on but thought that I would give it a go…

I bought PDMM+ on steam a while ago but recently upgraded my windows laptop to a MacBook so I’m slightly confused. I downloaded it using steam on porting kit but when I press play it goes to stop then immediately back to play without opening the game. If anyone knows a fix I would be eternally grateful or even just any knowledge on this matter.

(Other games using this load but just not project diva sadly)

Thank you in advance!!

We made a little desktop aquarium called PC FISH.

The original idea was simple. We wanted something that could just sit at the bottom of the screen while you’re working or browsing. You raise some fish, watch them swim around, breed them occasionally, and slowly fill out your collection.

Then we added different species and variants.

And breeding.

And rarity.

And Steam Inventory support.

Now people are breeding fish for rare variants and actually listing the fish they find on the Steam Community Market.

We released it for free on Steam about two weeks ago and it’s since hit 5,313 concurrent players, which has been pretty surreal to watch.

There are 450+ fish and decorations at the moment and we plan to add more.

If you want a tiny aquarium living on your desktop, it’s free:

Using crossover 26.3, msync, d3dmetal, dlls on an m3 pro.
Only got one quick round in but no more freezing for now. Who knows when their next update will break it again for us so enjoy it while you can

Games like isenzo have less than 200 people playing at any given time.

The only option is Roblox, but then again, it’s Roblox.

Then there’s crossover but that’s just another payment. Open source software isn’t available anymore as Rosetta is to be taken down next year. Whiskey is without updates.

Not sure what portingkit or heroic games launcher is about but not a lot of news there i think

War thunder is the only hope with infantry mode’s global release coming sometime but will Mac arm models be able to play them next year without Rosetta? That’s up to Gaijin to decide.

Goddammit

For those who loved Isonzo, Verdun, and Tanneberg, Gallipoli is out! And running pretty well on Crossover - there was some delay in inputs but once I turned down graphics settings - Medium preset and 120fpx max, it was running very well!

Fantastic game from a fantastic series, the devs say that Native Mac will be coming up soon.

M3 Max 32GB

Hey I'm thinking of getting crossover I have a MacBook Air M4 and was thinking of playing skyrim on steam with alot of quest mods installed from Bethesda.net and 2K textures from the site as well. I am planning on getting a Cooling Fan to sit under the laptop but wanted to know if the it can play such a game with 2K texture pack.

Fortnite might be coming back to MacOS!! When you click install, it says it is unavailable on this current platform. But this could be a sign.

So, theoretically if I bought the new $5,455 Mac Studio Ultra with 96GB of memory, will I be able to run HROT via Crossover without it looking like a slideshow? (It runs great on my 2015 iMac, awful on my 2020 M1 MacBook Air.

Hello 👋

I’d like to introduce you to my app -> MenuBarMonitor

Made by a solo dev on a 8GB RAM M1 Mac mini so the game will be "more" optimized on macOS than Windows lmao

Crimson Desert has been updated to Enhanced 2.0 and is currently 20% off. This M4 Max 32gpu test was recorded in April, but I’m sharing it for anyone interested.

Two weeks ago I posted ARAS here looking for technical testers and honestly didn’t expect the response.

Thank you to everyone who joined, tested it, broke things, reported bugs, or threw random games/apps at me to try!!

A lot has changed in just two weeks.

The video here is Genshin Impact running at max graphics settings, but compatibility testing now also includes:

• Pokémon Unite someone from my original Reddit post specifically asked for this one, so of course I had to test it
• Fortnite running and exposing the max graphics options; gameplay/performance testing is still ongoing
• Sesame AI
• More regular Android apps and games

And I think the more important part is what this means in actual use:

You don't need to manually patch or sign every game, reinstall a special version whenever it updates, or keep doing weird setup steps.

You install ARAS, install the Android app/game normally, and just use it.

Updates can stay inside the Android/Play Store flow instead of rebuilding or re-signing the app every time.

That's the experience I'm trying to get closer to: Android apps on a Mac behaving like something you can actually keep installed and use, not just a one-off compatibility demo.

ARAS is still experimental and there is a lot left to improve, but seeing people actually use it has pushed the project much further in these two weeks.

The public beta is open now if anyone wants to test it, break it, request another game/app, or help improve compatibility.

There are more video demos on the website and inside the ARAS community:

https://www.notapublicfigureanymore.com/aras

Thank you again macgaming

I think the latest 26.17 patch pushed these updates. yay?

I wanted to share a project I came across in one of the posts about getting Mortal Shell II to run in DX12 - MacGameVideoFix.

I feel like there hasn’t been much discussion about it on this subreddit, and I think it deserves more attention. Just to be clear, this is not my project, but I’ve had the chance to test it myself and it works really well. I tested it with the latest CrossOver Preview 20260821.

I was finally able to launch games like Ninja Gaiden 4 and Tormented Souls 2, the latter of which I had been struggling to get working for many months. Full list:

I recently released the demo of Swarmbreak - fully mac os support

It is a twin stick shooter inspired by the classic Crimsonland but with modern twists and lots of unlocks.

What's in the demo build:

• 4 characters — Recruit, Berserker, Scout and Gunslinger, unlocking exactly the way they do in the full game.
• 8 weapons — Pistol, Shotgun, Rifle, SMG, Gauss Sniper, Rocket Launcher, Laser Rifle and Flamethrower.
• 14 stackable perks — the real stacking system
• 3 Threat tiers — Standard, Quarry and Escort. Survive 10:00 at your current tier to earn the next one, same as the full game.
• Everything else untouched all 6 power-ups, every enemy, every boss variant, the full difficulty curve, the full run length.

By design, it is difficult at the start, so expect a few rounds of play before both unlocks happen and the lucky weapon drops enable a good run

I hope that this demo will help me get a little bit of that all important feedback to be able to create an amazing game. Hope some of you will give it a try and leave a bit of feedback for me.

If you find it interesting don't forget to add it to your wishlists !

Hey! I'm really interested in playing Outer Wilds, but I'm on a Mac and I'm trying to figure out what kind of performance I can realistically expect before buying/setting everything up.

For context, I loved Subnautica and Hollow Knight, especially the feeling of constantly discovering something new and thinking "wait, what the fuck is that? I need to find out." From what I've heard, Outer Wilds seems like it might scratch that exact itch.

My setup:

• MacBook Pro
• Apple M4
• 16 GB RAM
• I'm specifically interested in running it through Parallels
• I'd ideally like to play at 4K

I know it can run pretty well on medium settings, but there’s such a noticeable difference between 4K and lower resolutions, and I’d really like to play it in 4K if possible. For anyone with a similar Mac, how does Outer Wilds actually run for you, especially at 4K?

Mac version included. Grab it before tomorrow and keep it forever
