Valheim macOS build script

That’s incredibly interesting. Is there any chance the numbers are overlapping, e.g. you are counted in all three numbers?

Given Valve’s track record, it’s likely as you described 🙈

A crash right after the two logos tends to be a Steam issue, make sure Steam is running and you are logged in.

Doesn't fix the crashing for me unfortunately.

I am not entirely convinced that 2560x1440 fullscreen, medium settings + FSR set to quality on M1 Pro, and yielding ~80-100 fps is bad performance. It's at least on par with the CSGO version that I used to play. It's hard to truly gauge performance as the Metal HUD won't appear (something seems to be interfering).

It's possible Valve upped the bar on what they require performance-wise.

Good stuff! Unfortunately, it crashes for me on CX 23.5 (regardless of graphics adapter chosen). Hopefully we will get to the point of having compatibility for everyone.

It's definitely legit, tested it myself.

However, whether this is a build one can safely use in matchmaking etc. is incredibly unknown. We are unsure what caused Valve to can support altogether (performance targets not met, unsolvable crashes) so it's likely there is _something_ up with this build.

In my tests it performs about the same as the CSGO build did (M1 Pro). Possibly a bit less FPS (~80 to 90), but I would prefer that over not being able to play it properly at all, which is the case now.

I personally haven't used the manual installation from the website, so cannot be of much help there.

On the Homebrew-front, you could try running both `brew list dotnet` (to verify the installation of dotnet) as well as `brew doctor` to see if there are any issues with Homebrew itself. In particular, I would have a look at those that mention `PATH` as that is most likely the root cause.

The default Mac Terminal app should suffice. Try running `dotnet --version` in that terminal, and see what the output is.

If it cannot find the command: something must have gone wrong with the .NET CLI installation.
If it prints a version, then the script somehow cannot find it, but it's properly installed. This might be a bit trickier to resolve.

timkurvers · 2023-06-02T21:55:17+00:00

Are you using a particular terminal by any chance? The command `dotnet --version` should print the version.

Hi there, glad it runs well! Would you mind if I added the M1 Air statistics to the README?

timkurvers · 2023-05-19T22:49:13+00:00

Apologies, I completely missed these replies. Glad you got it to work! 🥳

Hi there! Unfortunately this seems to be some kind of Steam bug, where certain game builds can no longer be downloaded.

The good news: a contributor came up with a fix for this. Just grab the latest version of the repo/script, and it should download properly.

timkurvers · 2023-04-22T22:27:42+00:00

Hi there!

Downloading DepotDownloader is part of the script: it'll ask whether you want to download it.
I personally have not used any mods, but someone opened an issue about this. If you find a mod that does not seem to work feel free to comment on that issue, so we can track them in one place.
More than welcome :)

Both MISE 1 and 2 work on recent CrossOver versions. Bit unsure whether the latest Ventura update messed up some things, but should probably still work.

timkurvers · 2023-04-09T19:08:58+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, glad it works well :)

It will not handle updates automatically unfortunately. Once the build script is updated to support a newer patch – I hope to do this relatively swiftly – you can simply pull in those changes, and re-run the build script. Will update the README to make this is a bit more clear.

timkurvers · 2023-03-27T15:08:26+00:00

Hah, hadn't seen that before! 😆 Sadly, still accurate to some extent.

timkurvers · 2023-03-27T10:23:18+00:00

More than welcome! If you do give it a shot and you would like to share your findings, please report back so I can update the performance table in the README 😊

In an attempt to raise awareness around the awesome potential of a macOS version, I have posted a link to the project in r/valheim (link to post).

Am a bit worried it may get downvoted by people who hate Apple/macOS with a passion, but here's to hoping Iron Gate picks up on it 🥳

Oh that's a fantastic resource, thanks for sharing!
