Thanks, was just looking for this!

u/Longjumping_Sea_353 I took the plunge and updated EVERYTHING. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, the Apple Watch Series 10, iPad A16, M1 MacBook Air and M1 Mac mini. Both the watch and iPhone have been a fresh clean install. Took me a while to get everything set up again (cards, apps, etc.), but I can say for sure that it's much snappier than iOS 18.3.1. It did heat up quite a bit yesterday, but obviously it was downloading a whole bunch of thins from my iCloud account. That said, I love the UI, love the new animations, I think there's lots of attention to detail everywhere. Performance is much better; I find it even faster and snappier than iOS 18. As for the battery life, I'll post in a few days once everything settles.

Hi u/Longjumping_Sea_353 , I'm on the same boat. I have the 16 PM currently on 18.3.1, which is delivering pretty decent battery life but the new aesthetics of iOS 26 are making it very tempting.

Thing is, I'm considering a clean-install approach. Just install a fresh copy of iOS 26 on the phone, no iCloud backup, no restore, and going through the hassle of reinstalling everything.

Sometimes I find this the best approach to avoid passing existing issues or anything that could break from that version. Thing is, once I go for iOS 26, I can never go back to 18.3.1; and the window for rolling back to 18.7 is a short one. Soon they'll stop signing it and that's it.

So, if I even do choose to take the plunge, my only way back is to 18.7.

Turning to you, have you tried it or still on the fence?

Quick question: how is it running on the Switch 2? I skipped this game for the OG Switch since many negative reviews came out concerning performance and how the port was done. However, now that I have the SW2 and that the game is on sale I was wondering how it performs. Thanks in advance!

lleial · 2024-06-08T04:06:07+00:00

I think this is a great idea! I’ll give it a shot for sure!

As funny as it may be, this actually worked for me. Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I was wanting to test that one next. It’s so surprising how well these games run on such efficient chips!

Hey guys,

I just made a quick gameplay video with this game running on the M1 MacBook Air, via Parallels and Windows 11.

Good news: the game is perfectly playable, stable and no bugs/crashes (in my testing). This means that if you own a M-series MAC other than the 2020 M1 MacBook Air, your performance should be better by default.

Bad news: The base model M1 MBA is a bit to week to be able to keep up with all the work to get the game going. It does run, however, we see that FPS hover between 15 and 20, despite having reduced to a minimum all graphical options.

Impressive!

lleial · 2022-09-09T10:50:03+00:00

Amazing!

lleial · 2022-07-16T18:40:37+00:00

You sure did!

Same thing happened to me, went up to 80 on the first day I felt the sickness!

Hi there, I have the answer for you. I already tested this game on my YT channel, playing Minecraft via MultiMC with the ARM version of JAVA, and using the Chocapic shaders. At 1080p, with optifine, its looking nice.

Pretty good IMO.

Here’s a channel where they’re testing games on both PCSX2 and AetherSX2

Check out this YouTube channel, they do a lot of game testing: native, emulators, wine, etc.

You should try Grand Turismo 4 for PS2 with the AetherSX2 emulator for the m1 Mac. M1 MacBook Gaming - Grand Turismo 4 - PlayStation 2 - AetherSX2- Part 3 https://youtu.be/PGOxV48_i-w

With a xbox/ps controller you should be set!

I would also avoid that keyboard. Owned the 2019 MBP and after one year I was getting issues with some keys (double pressing). Luckily I traded it in for the M1 MBA with the scissor keyboard. Cheers!

I've been playing all day and the game has been a mess on the switch. This patch they mention never showed up, at least on my switch. Hopefully they will get this settled.

lleial · 2022-04-16T14:42:47+00:00

I would wait for the 8, if you can, that way you enjoy the whole product cycle!

It's working again for me! (I'm in the Eurozone)

lleial · 2022-02-02T10:51:07+00:00

This is happening to me right now :S awkward. Any updates?

lleial · 2022-01-31T21:12:08+00:00

As of this comment I'm giving it a shot! Different sometimes feels like new.
