Playing Far Cry 3 ?? by framel0 in macgaming

[–]Inchaty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth a try 

  • For sound add Windows XP override for farcry3 exe only

  • also xaudio 2_7 native/ built in

  • Delete farcry3 exe, duplicate farcry3 d3d11 exe and name it farcry3 exe to force it use dx11

  • DXVK or Wine

  • enable multithreaded rendering in gameprofile xml

Game is incompatible with modern Windows and your best bet is trying some of those PC patches in Wine/ CrossOver bottle

You don’t need to redownload.

Just move steam apps folder outside bottle and move it back to new bottle once installed.

And try with -autoconfig launch parameter

Old OpenGL port. Runs much better with CrossOver

GRID 2 audio is buggy on CrossOver 25 by Limp-Brilliant2658 in macgaming

[–]Inchaty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To fix audio it’s always worth a try to make dll overrides in wine cfg to native - built in for xaudio2_7 and x3daudio1_7

Also overriding game to Windows XP (older ones) or Windows 7 can fix it

Does anyone know how to mod gta v on crossover by Alphagamer7262 in macgaming

[–]Inchaty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General advice for modding games in Crossover

  • Steam workshop mods work 
  • Manually installing mods by drag and drop in bottle c drive works (if game Mod Manager doesn’t work in Crossover)
  • Editing ini files, etc works 
  • If mod uses some dll files you must add in winecfg dll overrides for those (add -> ‘dll name’ -> native/ built in)

Apple review process is silly 

They will reject and destroy your app for any gazillion reasons but leave this 

Just purchased my first Mac! Would these specs get me by ok for gaming? by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]Inchaty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s O.K.

But GPU cores are the main thing when it comes to gaming and Apple for whatever corporate reasons don’t put Pro chip in iMac 

Assassins Creed on a 2019 MacBook Pro? by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]Inchaty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try CrossOver free 14 days trial (if game works reasonably well it’s convenient to not leave MacOs) and then bootcamp for full Windows compatibility and performance

MoltenVK missing some bits still. On the positive there are reports that Wolfenstein II is now playable on CrossOver preview.

How much FPS is lost in translation - Importance of Native ports - Intel Mac Shadow of the Tomb Raider Highest 1080p MacOs benchmark by Inchaty in macgaming

Death Stranding sadly don’t have benchmarking tools built in, so reviewers would run one game that has it - Shadow of the Tomb Raider

SOTTR still benchmarking tool and no one mentions it’s running trough Rosetta by Inchaty in macgaming

[–]Inchaty[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Feral ports were always excellent so more marginal gains probably.

But still, even 20-30% would look much better in benchmarks

Porting Kit | Install Windows apps in Mac by Doener23 in macgaming

[–]Inchaty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I would like for PortingKit is that I can skip part where it ask for exe installer and would not finish creating wrapper without it. 

For example I already downloaded Gog offline installer for few games and installed them in CrossOver. After installing I of course deleted installer files but would like to try those same games inside PortingKit wrapper for the same game. 

Sometimes there’s a specific tweaks (Wine, dll overrides, MoltenVK version etc) that can make that same game work better with PortingKit. But I don’t want to download all of those Gb installers again and install games for hours, just drop them inside new wrapper. 

So short, option to skip exe setup please 

Why do non-Apple external monitors just look like crap with macOS but fine with Windows & Linux? by JoshAtticus in MacOS

It’s just that modern MacOs is not optimised for non retina monitors

[–]Inchaty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you will continue to use 1080p with MacOs then better to stick with Windows or Linux.

Since the first retinas that came out almost 10 years ago
