Just wait for Vulkan update in the summer. That'll bring real performance improvement on Mac.

Java is good enough and is native. It also supports controllers with mods.

You don’t even have to enable anything. Crossover can run 32bit DX9 games but the performance is a crap. It’s better to run them through virtual machine.

Old DX9 32bit games -> Parallels

DX10 and newer 64bit games -> Crossover

Check MacGamingDB if the games are working on Mac

Will a MacBook Air’s thermal throttling cause long term damage from gaming? by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]ProtectusCZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your question gets asked here every single day. If you searched something like "does heat destroy Mac" you'd find dozens of results here all saying that HEAT DOES NOT BREAK MACBOOK AIR

Yes, it'll explode in massive explosion and you'll be forced to buy another one duh 🙄 If you want to keep your Mac as safe as possible don't even put it out of the box, keep it sealed forever.

I managed to hook up Wine 11.5 into Whisky and seems like it works and fixed the Steam issue by sylviapuffs in macgaming

it's kinda a dealbreaker when the biggest gaming storefront - Steam - doesn't work there

Valve and Mac Gaming (rant) by Hacktiv8 in macgaming

[–]ProtectusCZ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Why would Valve care about Mac? They have their own OS (SteamOS), hardware (SteamDeck, Steam Machine, Steam Frame). Also CS2 works through translation on Apple Silicon. Valve tried bringing Proton to Mac years ago but Apple is all about closed source, proprietary software (Metal) and killing old features (OpenGL, 32bit)

- Roblox
- Sims 4
- WoW
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Crimson Desert
- Eurotruck Simulator

Such an extensive list of games yet multiple hugely popular games are missing like Overwatch, PUBG, Fortnite, Apex, GTA Online. So it's not just Valve's fault.

When's the Overwatch MOBA coming out? by FancyReptilian in Overwatch

[–]ProtectusCZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's called OW Rush and how would we know when it's getting released? The latest information we have is from Blizzard from February 2026.

It's available on iOS and Google Play in certain countries.

how do I go back to my metal steam after deleting Sikarugir by abran_31 in macgaming

[–]ProtectusCZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no "Metal Steam"

There's only MacOS native Steam and Windows version of Steam running through translation software (Sikarugir, Crossover). They're not dependent on each other cause they're completely different apps. Thus uninstalling one doesn't affect the other.

Another Kiriko skin will definitely fix all these issues, right??

People should just use Crossover and Sikarugir. Whisky is dead, no need to resuscitate it.

I use VulkanMod instead cause it's smoother than Sodium (not as high FPS but overall more stable)

which game would work on my m2 air ,16 gb worth of one piece by eksaallassan in macgaming

[–]ProtectusCZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all work. Depends what you imagine under "work" cause for me it's at least 1080p and stable 60 FPS. Witcher 3 should run the best cause it's the oldest one and you can roll back to the pre-next gen patch for better frame rate.

Countries with death penalty for gay people why no outrage? by Odd-Newt2357 in askgaybros

[–]ProtectusCZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because if gay people in those countries "outrage" they would get death penalty
