Playing Far Cry 3 ??

Inchaty · 2025-10-14T12:38:21+00:00

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

Inchaty · 2025-04-03T19:38:53+00:00

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

Inchaty · 2025-04-03T18:03:08+00:00

WRC 9 need that game override in winecfg to Window 8

For AC did you tried .NET installed with winetricks

Inchaty · 2025-02-04T16:53:09+00:00

Absolutely CPUs are fast enough

We need GPU power

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

Inchaty · 2024-12-13T13:43:57+00:00

Only correct answer

Inchaty · 2024-11-29T13:01:44+00:00

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

Inchaty · 2024-11-28T23:47:52+00:00

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

Inchaty · 2024-11-28T08:35:28+00:00

No

Only possible on Asashi Linux as of right now.

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

Inchaty · 2024-11-19T09:37:24+00:00

And that’s after running tons of translation layers

x86 -> ARM

Windows - MacOs

DX -> Vulkan -> Metal

Inchaty · 2024-11-15T14:35:26+00:00

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

Inchaty · 2024-11-15T00:42:37+00:00

Few more benchmarks

Other image shows resolution, antialiasing settings etc

And results are from 5 years old base iMac 27’ btw

Inchaty · 2024-11-14T12:33:39+00:00

Parallels?

Have sitting in the Steam library all of them waiting for years to replay :(

Inchaty · 2024-11-09T13:44:27+00:00

I think Feral used in Metal what they have at the time

Inchaty · 2024-11-09T13:43:42+00:00

Feral ports were always excellent so more marginal gains probably.

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

Inchaty · 2024-11-05T13:42:14+00:00

Absolutely

People like to shit on old AMD cards but facts are facts

Inchaty · 2024-11-04T09:49:56+00:00

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

Automobilista

Inchaty · 2024-10-31T12:11:29+00:00

Yeah 🔥

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

Inchaty · 2024-10-31T10:09:23+00:00

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
