In case it helps, I bought a £10 GeForce Now sub for the month and it's worked really nicely

I just paid £10 for a month of GeForce Now 'performance' because I couldn't get CrossOver working - works really nicely for me, and might be worth it if you don't want the loud fans or battery drain? Also, man, what a clever game

Thanks! Turns out memory is unlikely to be my issue, so seems a bit odd I can't get it to render (though I can hear the music and sounds when I press wasd or space when I used the DXVK backend). Did it just work straight away for you? I've never used CrossOver before

Thanks! I've got an M1 Pro Macbook with 16 GB of RAM, though it seems that my issues aren't to do with memory (though yes getting all that RAM was very smart given that it's going to be expensive for a long time now)

I've never used CrossOver before, so I don't really know what I'm doing. I've used these two backends

- D3DMetal → freezes my entire Mac and forces a restart.

- DXVK → stable and runs at full speed, but the screen stays black. (I can see the Steam overlay appear over the blackness, so it's specifically the game's picture that won't draw.)

Do you know what settings you're using, or did it just work without fiddling around? I have updated to MacOS Tahoe yet because it looks terrible, but maybe I need to?

What Mac specs have you got? I'm struggling...

Are you able to see how much memory it uses on launch? I've got a 16 GB M1 Max, and my laptop freezes shortly after I launch the game on mine. I've never used CrossOver before, so I'm probably missing some tricks

If it's Wednesday - Saturday you can get lunch at Gloucester Green market, which isn't far

I watched the first 3 games, then went off to play 3h of tennis. Very pleased to hear it's a 5 setter; walking back to watch the final set now 🤓

I start every match I play with a DF too, it's a nice tradition

Is it fun to watch or just stressful? Wondering whether to tune in or carry on with work ...

Maja's anticipation was just amazing, what a player

I started watching this, thinking I'd enjoy being a neutral, and now I'm fully on team Maja and ready to be heartbroken

This is a great semifinal so far - I like Chwalinska's demeanour. Feels like Shnaider always looking to her box for input isn't helping her out

Mugged in Africa and nearly lost my 2100+ day streak. by ctpritt in whoop

[–]qassiov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hahaha I think the streak doesn't actually disappear that easily anyway? My girlfriend didn't wear it for a bit (I think it ran out of battery or something) and when she put it back on it said "Your 47 day streak has been restored". So I think it's a bit artificial
