It's annoying that Apple buys exclusivity for placing macOS game versions in their App Store.

Our squad tactics heist RPG is now FULLY LAUNCHED on Steam!

Unique 23rd-century cyberpunk HEISTS

Apple zeigt KI auf der WWDC - aber nur mit angezogener Handbremse

iPhone app is working as a game controller. It connects to the driver on the Mac and sends HID input reports as the button states change. Games are playable.

This is so fun!

Hi, I’m Eddie
I’m an indie developer
I’m building Virtual Controller, it’s open source and turns your iPhone into retro game controllers

I plan to share my progress here

FSR в CrossOver не вариант, если вы не включаете Hi-Res режим. Потому что internal game resolution становится примерно 33% от реального количества пикселей экрана.

TAA же работает с исходным разрешением, заданным CrossOver (50% от реального)

Разница заметна в пятне крови

How to run `No Rest for the Wicked` on macOS with CrossOver 25 and full controller support:

- Create a Windows 10 64-bit bottle and install Steam
- Enable D3DMetal & MSync in bottle settings
- Set "Disable Hidraw" to ON in CrossOver
- Turn "SteamInput" OFF in Steam (for this game)
- Install "DirectX for Modern Games" & ".NET Framework 4.8" in the bottle
- Ensure macOS is fully updated (prevents crash after Moon Studios logo)

Doesn't look like 4 stars to me. CrossOver's compatibility ratings weighting system is crazy.

No Rest for the Wicked doesn't work and it was an unpleasant surprise.

UPD.: it works with some settings changes

Oblivion Remastered has memory leak in MacOs CrossOver. Right after closing the Oblivion Gate (idk) at the the beginning of the game.

This is the most funny glitch/bug in game emulation on macOS that I've ever seen.

DOSBox Staging v0.82.1 has been released

The main focus of this maintenance release is to fix a couple of regressions introduced in 0.82.0 and older releases, mostly related to game compatibility. The other big improvement is the CPU usage of the 3dfx Voodoo emulation has been reduced by about 50%, so your computer won’t go into hoover-mode anymore when playing those Voodoo games

check out the release notes for the details:

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is in great shape right now. I'd advise anyone who was interested in it to give it another try.

The UI has improved greatly, and there are new drone mechanics (like last-mile transport for getting through tight spaces, such as deep forests) and a new camera angle from the roof.

The stupidest thing in the Mac gaming world is publishers who ignore all other stores for their native game releases and post them only to the App Store.

Sad regression in CrossOver 25. You can't play Expeditions game anymore – game stucks before the loading screen.

Assassin's Creed Shadow is terribly optimized

Since my plan is now to get a Mac Studio with an M4 Max. What is the state of gaming on macOS?

Is it still bleak since they fucked up with Valve, or is there something usable to get modern Steam and GOG games to work?
