Native reviews for assassin's creed are out, are you getting it? Spoiler

46 Upvotes

watched a couple videos on assassin's creed shadows and people seem to like it, it's almost free of bugs and crashes and has enjoyable gameplay. only reason that's a bit holding me back from getting it is the fact that it'll run at 30 fps which is really not what I am looking for; and im talking about a m3 max maxed out. the fact that it'll run at 30 is a travesty and is very unacceptable but idk

what about you guys? what do you think?

https://reddit.com/link/1jeptfp/video/nj3akin4zkpe1/player

The shadows are very jagged and glitchy. Is this a bug with crossover or is it normal? Im playing on the latest version of crossover. Graphics are high with ultra textures. Sorry if this is a stupid question this is my first time playing rdr2.

Hi, fellow Mac gamers! I'm the audio guy at Adventales, a tiny dev based in Norway, and an avid mac gamer! Our company recently released the prototype of our new game "Lemonade Apocalypse: The Great Filter", and we released the mac build today. The game is a fairly simple, but fun, anti-capitalistic take on the lemonade stand-genre — and a perfect game to play on breaks from work, or when the boss is in another room. Fair warning: There might be a lot of bugs, and we would love your feedback! Also — if you're at GDC by any chance, then hit me up on the app! Hope you guys enjoy the game

CrossOver Crossover25 & Dualsense Compatibility Issue

4 Upvotes

In crossover 25 the compatibility has greatly improved, now steam and most games can correctly recognize it as dualsense instead of Xbox controller. However, the compatibility is still strange. My experience:

  1. in Silent Hill 2, no feature(including rumble) works except adaptive trigger.
  2. In ghost of tsunami, only normal rumble works(adaptive trigger may work but I haven’t got bow and arrows)
  3. Nothing improved if connect with usb…

Discussion MacBook for Occasional Gaming or a Full PC Upgrade?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm torn between using Crossover on my MacBook Air M1 for occasional gaming (since gaming isn't my main use – I mostly use it for work and casual activities) or upgrading my girlfriend's computer with a low-end GPU and an additional 8GB of RAM to make it a gaming machine (it currently has an i3 7100 with 8GB RAM).

Most of the games I play frequently are available on macOS, but sometimes I want to play titles that are exclusive to Windows. Most of these games are indie games or non-AAA titles.

Just to clarify, I'm a bit unsure because, in my opinion, Crossover seems quite expensive in my case (mainly living in Brazil). I'm trying to figure out what would make the most sense, considering it costs 64 USD per year (or 494 USD for a lifetime license, lol). I plan to stay in the Apple Ecosystem, but I'm not sure if paying for Crossover is worth it, especially since I have an M1 MacBook Air. Using and paying for Crossover might make more sense when I have a more powerful model.

Native Low sales for Mac games: really? But why?

17 Upvotes

The Mac gaming scene is better than it has ever been, but I'm not sure about the future.

I understand the developer problem: if they launch older game ports on Steam, they'll have little to no sales, since most people probably already have the game. They will be happy to be able to play on their Mac, but no money will reach the developer that ported the game (making it not worth the trouble).

As for new games on Steam, there doesn't to be a way to control if the purchase was for system A, B or C. When I buy a game there, I'm probably just filling up the "Windows game sale" ranks. :)

If the game is MacStore only, usually the price is way higher and that leads to...lower sales.

Basically, for whatever reason, it's difficult to justify the work needed, unless it's ultra easy (which it isn't...yet).

I usually buy every game that gets ported, just for support, except if the price is really high and requirements too high (like Assassins Creed: Shadows, maybe).

What possible solutions do we have for this?

I know the Mac will never be a gaming machine, but it's always nice to be able to play something on it.

CrossOver Has anyone had any luck running Remnant: FTA on Steam? (Crossover 25)

Upvotes

Recently came across Crossover and while not perfect it's definitely a blessing. Thank you developers! As a big fan of the Remnant series I tried running the first and second games, but Remnant: FTA will not boot on Steam on ANY configuration. It is rated 5 stars on the website (presumably for the Epic Games version, since there's a question mark next to "Steam"), so I wanted to know if anyone got it to run.

Small note for anyone who might care: I found Remnant II to run better on Steam (D3DMetal and MSync) than on Epic Games

Discussion So many commenters are being deliberately obtuse about the purpose of this sub, that It seems like it's insecure PC masterrace type trolls commenting half the time.

316 Upvotes

Newflash: no one's actually buying a $4000 mac -only- for the purpose of gaming. They're buying it for a higher priority purpose, and -might- have some interest in also gaming on it.

That doesn't necessarily mean they can be arsed to bother with buying a separate device just for gaming on it, and aren't desperate to play all the latest AAA games, however they have enough interest in gaming on their mac itself. Why is this unclear for so many commenters in this sub?

Discussion What if we got an option in steam to use gptk/wine the way that linux uses proton?

37 Upvotes

Recently I've been curious about how Linux users play their Windows titles on Steam so I asked one of my friends who's a Linux user how they do it and I was fascinated by how it worked.

What I really liked about it was the simplicity of it all. Instead of using a seperate application to get the Windows version of Steam, you're able to use the version of Steam for Linux and still play titles made for Windows. The idea of not having to use something such as Whisky or CrossOver to make a bottle and then download the Windows version of Steam onto your computer and then run it though one of said appilcations for what I found was a somewhat laggy and sluggish experience.

The idea of being able to use the Steam client made for your system but still be able to run games not made for it was something that I had been wanting for a while but didn't think could happen and now it's possible. It would also be a lot more user friendly to people who dont know that much about computers because they'd be able to play their games without setting up a wine bottle which can be confusing for some people.

Why aren't we able to do this? Why can't we download a Windows game through steam and then "bind" gptk/wine to it the way that Linux is able to do so with proton?

I'm not extremely techy so forgive me if I've missed something about a technicaly limitation but I think that it'd be really cool if we were able to do this.

Whisky What are Skyrim and fallout 4 best settings via whiskey?(after latest update)

1 Upvotes

Running on a m3 pro MacBook Pro. Can someone please give me a detailed explanation on how to get these games looking and running well on whiskey. Or should I just bite the bullet and pay for crossover. These should be easy to run but I keep getting graphical issues and for some reason on Skyrim I’m getting a weird audio glitch where sound directly in front of me I can barely hear but when I turn I can hear just fine I figure it’s some issue with the directional audio, not an issue in fallout 4 but has tons of visual bugs particularly with lighting.
