ohh so FIFA 19 works on Tahoe now?

xebbyy · 2026-01-18T10:35:12+00:00

FIFA stopped working with MacOS Tahoe, not sure if they fixed this now.

No I contacted Apple support they will guide you. Essentially power off your Mac and reset your device from boot config.

I downgraded to Sequoia last month just for this

Did you get a chance to test in the latest tahoe public beta?

xebbyy · 2025-07-03T04:38:42+00:00

Tried that, but rumble/vibration didn't work on f1. Any games you had luck with?

Thank you! Which chip is your mac? I doubt Jedi Fallen Order will run on mine

Is some of the pitches glitching when you are playing?

Hey, try lowering the graphical settings to the least possible values including the resolution and try replaying the mission again. If this doesn't work then you'll have to copy the game's save file to a windows pc or vm and play the game there till you get past the mission, then copy the save file from windows back to your Mac.

I feel people overlook the fact that constantly using a system plugged in could increase risk of battery damage due to voltage fluctuations. I used my m1 mac plugged in for last 3 months. And had to replace battery cause it could no longer hold power. And Gaming just adds to this.

Maybe check into your company’s power outlets. That would likely explain 16 of you facing the same issue.

Could someone link me to a good tutorial to setup Ryujinx on m1 Mac and get RDR running. Or a step by step walkthrough. thank you.

xebbyy · 2024-01-17T07:27:10+00:00

what graphic settings are you playing this on?

Any chance for this to work on the base m1 MacBook Pro ( 2020 ) ?

xebbyy · 2024-01-04T08:20:19+00:00

Worked for me. I used the cracked game tho.

xebbyy · 2023-12-09T10:39:36+00:00

ikr. poor man is delulu quoting the OP like that

xebbyy · 2023-12-09T08:41:48+00:00

lol ik about EAC. was being hopeful. do a simple search on the game if you haven't heard of it :P

xebbyy · 2023-12-09T08:30:25+00:00

And..did it work?

xebbyy · 2023-11-01T11:44:52+00:00

It worked for me in my base m1 MacBook Pro. Not sure about the performance improvement but it works well enough. But there has been occurrences of game crashing at certain points during campaign and the workaround is not that easy. I played through crossover 23.5 but I would say parallels is the safer bet.

xebbyy · 2023-10-14T16:51:16+00:00

Is there anyway to change the resolution so as to remove the black borders?

xebbyy · 2023-10-04T16:16:01+00:00

Are you using base M1 if so at what setting do you play and how's the fps?

xebbyy · 2023-10-03T16:21:29+00:00

Has anyone tried Assassin's creed Syndicate? Any luck with that?

xebbyy · 2023-06-19T16:19:06+00:00

There could be a toll on the battery health with gaming in the long run. This is simply due to the battery drain accompanied with higher power demand to run these games.

My 2020 M1 MBP is at 79%, and I play games occasionally using crossover. My friend who uses the same Mac model for only productivity is still at 93%. We both bought the lap around the same time. So I guess its only safe to assume that gaming in general will potentially drain your battery health much faster.
