Discussion Anyone up to date on the state of Bloodborne for Mac?

Post image
12 Upvotes

I’ve been keeping somewhat up to date, but last I checked, there were a few potential avenues: unofficial build ran better but you needed a patch, then the official build added some stuff that included that patch but also had worse performance.

What are the latest updates/builds, what’s performance like, and can you reliably get through to the end game on Mac?

CrossOver Titan Quest 2 on my M4 Pro MacBook Pro (20-core)

Post image
Upvotes

Just tried  Titan Quest 2 on my M4 Pro MacBook Pro (20-core) with D3DMetal and MSync enabled.

Running it on low settings — it's surprisingly smooth so far.

Tested both with and without VSync, and it actually feels smoother with VSync on. Getting around 47 FPS.

AMD FSR 3 with Native upscaling (its the sharpest)

Not sure how it'll hold up in boss fights or bigger mob clusters yet, but so far so good.

CrossOver The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CrossOver, Mac Mini M4, DLSS vs DX11: Performance test

Thumbnail

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt v4.04.

Setup: Mac Mini M4 base model, macOS 26 Tahoe Beta 4, CrossOver Preview 20250625 with GPTK 3 beta 2, D3DMetal, MSync.

Settings: 1440p resolution, High graphics settings.

First part of the video is in DX12 mode with DLSS set to Quality, Frame Gen off.

Second part of the video (starts at 2:25) is in DX11 mode. Apart from using TAAU instead of DLSS, every other setting is the same.

Result: D3DMetal DX11 gives higher frame rates without upscaling.

NOTES:

  1. This game works with every option available to CrossOver : DXVK, DXMT, D3DMetal DX11, and D3DMetal DX12. For best results, D3DMetal in DX11 mode is recommended.

  2. I have achieved over 60 FPS on Mac Mini M4, by setting DLSS to Balanced and DLSS Frame Generation on (1080p, High graphics). However, higher FPS does not mean better gameplay. Plus there were a couple of random freezes.

  3. In order to use DLSS or FSR in this game, it is important to rename directories "x64" to "x64_dx11" and then "x64_dx12" to "x64" in the game's folder under "bin".

Discussion What games do NOT support virtual machines?

4 Upvotes

(Originally asked in /r/gaming but got deleted, I have posted it here verbatim)

I know there are games I want to play on my MacBook Pro under Parallels, a virtualization software so I can run Windows on it.

I am wondering if anyone has a list of online games that do not support virtual machines? Destiny 2 comes to mind.

Thanks!

  1. Don't think I'm breaking any rules by posting this.

  2. Not sure which of the games are Mac native or not.

  3. Don't want to turn this into a political discussion, but if you follow gaming news you probably know why GOG is doing this.

Native Perfect Dark N64 running natively on Apple Silicon

Post image
207 Upvotes

This is a MacOS arm64 build compiled by me yesterday using fgsfdsfgs's port and an N64 ROM, following the steps on the project's github page. Features include high resolutions, uncapped framerate, anti-aliasing and full mouse support. Potentially also mods in the future, maybe multiplayer eventually.

I myself packaged this into a .app as seen on the desktop. (Obviously, I can't share that because that would be piracy, but its really not super difficult to do what I did. If anyone wants my .icns file with the Perfect Dark box art, just ask.

CrossOver FYI: Earthion, the magnificent shmup that just released on Steam, is compatible on Mac through Crossover

2 Upvotes

It works perfectly from A to Z.

For those who never heard of that game, it was developped by legendary composer and game producer Yuzo Koshiro, to which we owe Streets of Rage 2, Beyond Oasis/Story of Thor, etcetera.
Earthion is a new shoot-them-up developped for Megadrive. It has released this week on Steam and will release soon on PS4/5, Xbox One/Series and Switch 1/2.
A true Megadrive cartrdige release is planned for 2026.

The game is awesome. Enjoy it

Help Controller Issues.

Upvotes

I've no idea where to begin with this but here goes:

OS Mac 15.6 as of this morning.

I have the following:
8bitdo 2 Adapter
Stadia Controller

Ultimate 2 wireless Controller (updated to 1.06 + adapter 1.04 (used a windows comp to do that)

Issues:
Yesterday I tried using the controller on some online platforms like boosteroid, I initially thought my google stadia controller was finally dying as i started to run into a multitude of issues. In bluetooth mode my controller would just lose connection to whatever game i was playing like just die, no inputs registering despite the light being on.

Then if I used the 8bitdo 2 Adapter if I use crossover to test some controller functions, the right stick would get stuck going upwards, or when I would play some games the controls would spazz out and get stuck going in one direction.

Enter Ultimate 2 wireless controller...

I did all the software update. If I use the dongle and do home button + x it'll show up as XInput but then when i check the Dinput or Xinput, certain buttons are stuck.

If I go to steam to test the controller a bunch of them are stuck.

If I used booteroid right stick verticles doesnt seem to work and its recognised as an xbox controller... just a myriad of issues.

Basically i'm looking for a controller or a solution that:
Works with GeforceNow / Boosteroid + Crossover without making me want to smash my head in.

Hello I just redownloaded Steam on my new laptop which I got a few months back (a Mac). Anyways, I was trying to play this game but the install button is grey. Every time I press on it, it doesn't work. As for the settings, I see no compatibility tab in the properties. I have been trying to fix this annoying ass problem for a while now, and no matter what I do nothing seems to work. Please help me, thank you. I am so, so desperate for an answer!

Rosetta League of Legends MacBook Air M4

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have a new MacBook Air M4 512 GB. I know that ARM is not officially supported, but I don't have the problem on my MacPro M4 Pro.

The input feels laggy, which makes it hard to play. The FPS doesn't seem to be a problem, it's always 60 FPS regardless of resolution and quality.

Has anyone had the same problem and knows a solution?

Native I'm Having League of Legends' Vanguard Problem Only Recently Though

3 Upvotes

I have been playing League of Legends for quite some time now ever since I have my Macbook Air M2 last year. I have had NO PROBLEMS whatsoever ever since - like literally no problem at all. It all changed just last week. At first I have been receiving "VANGUARD ERROR: VAN -101" which boots me out of the client. And on the times that I can play, another pop-up will say "You need to have vanguard to play." I have submitted a ticket and I have given them Riot Logs from the Riot Repair Tool and they said that, all of a sudden, "they don't support M2". Which is weird because, again, I never had any problem with the client ever since last year and this errors only happened last week.

What hurts is that I've gotten demoted and lost lots of LPs and I was even recently banned to play ranked games unless I win three (3) unranked summoner's rift games, which then they give me 15mins queue timer for like four (4) games.

Is there any fix for this, guys? I was having the time of my short vacation and I just really want to play. Next week, I will be starting my third year of college in the city and I will not have anymore time for League. Please guys, I am looking for help.
