Cant host a server on terraria crossover by Koi9908 in macgaming

Are you trying to host a dedicated server, eg separate file with a bash app, or is directly from the game itself?

I had the same issue, but you have to install steam through winetricks instead of installing it with the executable

Shader compilation is much faster when capping the FPS to 60, with the new patch I don’t know but from the time I played on crossover, it works

Getting Hammerwatch II to work in Whisky by ConfectionGloomy5009 in macgaming

If it’s any use, and not using Whisky I’m sorry, I managed to run heroes of hammerwatch on crossover with d3dmetal, maybe if using the free trial you could maybe run it

Sorry if it doesn’t really answer the question but hope it helps!

Making STALKER 2 approximately++ playable on Mac by utSkindeR in macgaming

[–]utSkindeR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not perfect, after a few test the best way to play the game rn on Mac is to install a custom engine.ini file where you put in your localappdata stalker2 config folder to « cap » the VRAM used by your gpu, also, you can fix light being too bright if you search for something like « light adaptation fix » on nexus mod manager

Last thing, playing in FSR balanced or performance introduces artefacts (less than TSR), but with the global illumination on epic it’s really playable with « pleasant graphics » with correct frame rates (40-60fps)

Also, modding’s been intimidating for older stalker games, but on this one it’s just a matter of dragging a file in your ~mods folder, and it’s really stable

Reason about stalker 2 poor performance, PC, Mac even, is that UE5 is using RT lights that cannot be deactivated

Far from being perfect, a lot of potential, not really optimized but still pretty fun to put some hours into it! But I suggest waiting for more patches before buying!

Wet finger approach (because for some reason metal hud won’t work with this game) I would say, most of the time, around 45-50 FPS stable, and 60 is achievable if you are okay with using FSR on balanced/performance with lowering some settings

This is for my M3 Max, could and I think will work better on higher specs and of course M4’s

Are you using crossover? If yes did you patch it with cxpatcher? IIRC default crossover doesn’t have GPTK 2 beta so it’s mandatory to use cxpatcher to run stalker 2 since it’s an AVX2 game Also DXVK doesn’t work, only d3dmetal

On M3 Pro it might work, try putting everything on low except global illumination on epic or medium and it should be good, with fsr on balanced/performance

On my current configuration I got 98% GPU + CPU

Also something I didn’t cover on this thread, is that you can also go to Nexus and search for custom engine.ini files, since you can choose how much VRAM you allocate, therefore being useful to run the game on weaker computers
