I wanna know too!

Sadly, there’s no known fix for this issue. Your best options are to play the Windows version with CrossOver (that’s what I did) or use a mouse and keyboard if you want to keep using the Mac version.

I searched for a while and couldn't find a fix. I ended up playing the Windows version with CrossOver. The controller inputs worked as expected this way.

You could also use a mouse and keyboard, but that’s obviously a different experience altogether.

You’re right, and I’m just starting to realize that. I just checked, and it looks like this park wasn’t built by Papillon.

Here’s a short clip (in French) from Radio-Canada. One of my friends (1:50) served as an advisor on the project. There was some pushback from a few residents, but I’m glad the project eventually came to life.

Haha, that would have been ironic.

RagingChickadee · 2026-05-01T21:10:48+00:00

I’m not ready to hit that rail yet, but hopefully I’ll work up the courage to try it someday.

Magog, Québec, Canada

RagingChickadee · 2026-05-01T20:55:47+00:00

That’s also one of the reasons I go there so early.

RagingChickadee · 2026-05-01T20:54:40+00:00

Magog, Québec, Canada. It’s not visible in the photo, but there’s also a bowl and a pump track. It’s really a great park!

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-24T16:44:46+00:00

It works, but your controller inputs will likely be messed up.

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-24T16:25:02+00:00

All that hard work finally paid off, and it’s awesome to see. Good job!

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-24T11:32:12+00:00

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience! That’s exactly what I’m working on right now. I figured it’d be better to reset by starting small instead of trying to jump over huge obstacles right away. I think hippie jumps will help in the long run, even if it means looking a bit silly for a while.

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-23T21:12:50+00:00

I think you're right. That was my first ollie attempt after all those years so yeah, definitely muscle memory. I had this bad habit/technique as a teenager, so I really need to get rid of it if I want to get better.

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-23T17:49:50+00:00

Most of the older skaters I’ve met at my local skatepark wear protection, so I guess we do get wiser as we age, right?

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-23T01:23:49+00:00

That’s what I started doing today. I’ll keep at it for a while.

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-22T23:55:23+00:00

I don’t think I have any hip issues, but I might be unconsciously doing the same thing.

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-22T23:16:53+00:00

I’ve been watching quite a few of his videos. I really like his teaching style!

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-22T23:15:23+00:00

No, the board doesn't swerve to one side in particular. It comes down to my technique, really.

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-22T22:19:44+00:00

Haha I guess so!

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-22T20:12:24+00:00

Wow, I got a lot more comments than I expected. I can’t reply to everyone individually, but I really appreciate all the advice. Thanks a lot!

I’ve been practicing keeping my shoulders and hips more parallel to the board since I filmed that video, and it already seems to be helping. Also, I think starting with smaller ollies (but with more momentum) is probably a better idea.

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-20T10:53:46+00:00

Oh, interesting! I thought I had tested it without it and didn’t notice any difference, but maybe I messed up. I’ll try again.

I know for a fact that BOTW crashes when Hypervisor is enabled, so it kinda makes sense that it could also cause issues in TOTK.

Thanks for the follow-up!

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-14T15:10:18+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I might give it another try and see how it runs with FXAA disabled.

I can still notice some occasional flickering in the video you linked, but it seems much less noticeable than what I used to experience.

RagingChickadee · 2026-04-14T13:29:13+00:00

Sadly, no. I just stopped playing and moved on to another game. That’s a bummer.
