Whenever I use an installer that's not Steam, it no longer lets me download the dependencies for the game. Is there any way around this?
I recently updated my iMac 2018 to Ventura. I’ve been playing call of duty modern warfare on the Mac since it came out. I’m looking for some sort of similar first person shooter. I believe I’ve tried all the ones on the Apple Store. Any suggestions? Thanks! (I find it hard to believe there is nothing else like call of duty currently available for the Mac platform.)
Tried running KCD2 with Crossover 24.0.7 (with GPTK 2.0) on M3 Max MacBook Pro and it's not working at all. The game launches but with a persistent blank screen.
Anyone able to make it work?
Could you please just throw some money at a couple studios to get some ports over? I just wanna play marvel rivals with my friends without having to bend over backwards.
I’m getting a 24gb MacBook m4 today and am excited to play baldurs for the first time. The other game I want to get is planet zoo which will require crossover. If I have crossover should I run baldurs with that or with Mac?

Hi i have macbook pro m3 pro chip 18gb ram , i bought cyberpunk and completed it and i experienced many frame drops in that game but it ran smoothly and i used whisky and not crossover and can you guys suggest some best games with low price or free games that run with high fps
I don't know why I can not join multiplayer worlds or my friend's realm. My other friends with mac can join in it no problem. This seems to be a problem with my mac only as I can join it via a different laptop. Changing networks doesn't help and neither did Minecraft support.
I think something is blocking mojang's connection but I can not figure out how to find it. I have my firewall down and have administrative settings on. Can someone please help?
What I have tried so far:
Even trying to join LAN open servers (my roommate) under the same network can not be found when I refresh multiplayer

Hello guys :)
I've managed to play GW2 through Crossover and Whiskey.
I'm wondering if it is possible to also use the addons like Blish or Taco ?
Does someone know and/or managed to use them ?
Thanks :)
i bought psuedoregalia and everything is running fine on crossover besides the fact that whenever i walk there are red flashing things pls help
Anyone else’s no mans sky crashing every time they change a graphics setting, and also just randomly, after that update today? M3max
Someone with the game please check if this resolved the issues
I recently bought the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix bundle on Steam because it was on sale and have always wanted to play those games. I can't afford a PC however my mac has a high RAM. I tried running the game through Steam using Whisky. When you enter the game menus, its fine until you actually press Begin Game. Then you enter a loading screen and the game just crashes. I only later found out these ports are really badly optimized for PC in the first place and I'm trying to run it on a Mac. Please help, I'd really love to play these games.
I've been trying to get this to run via Steam on Whisky and I get an OpenGL 3.3 detected error. Does anyone know of a solution or workaround to get it to play via Whisky? I've been scouring around for a few hours and the solutions I've found don't seem to be doing the trick.
I figured I would reach out here for some help.
Thanks for any input!
So basically I installed “Stay out” from steam in crossover, but when I launch it this image pops up.
Hi, Xenia Canary noavxcheck is great and it's working under Crossover.
The only issue I've encountered is related to resolution increase because the draw_resolution _scale settings don't seem to work.
Does somebody has succeeded in changing the resolution or this is not possible?
Thanks!
Bf1, which I tried to open via Parallels, does not open. After I directed it to EA Games, Steam gets stuck there and the game never opens.help pls. :(((
It was working all fine until now. Running on whiksy m3 mac air 16gb
Anyone tried this? Started happening about a week ago. Sometimes when I'm in a game my macbook will freeze, the fans will spin at max speed, and then after a few moments it will immediately power off, and then show the apple logo as it boots back up by itself.
Kind of worried, not really able to find anything similar online, so my question to you: Anyone else tried this?
Due to the UK government passing the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, an act similar to the EU’s Digital Markets Act, will this also mean that Fortnite will also available on Macs too OR is this legislation just for phones? The legislation is SO wordy - so I do not know.
Sorry if this has been already asked recently, I tried to search beforehand with no luck. So, my issue is that I use the regular Mac install of Steam as well as a Windows install of Steam. I'm using an M4 Mac Mini with multiple partitions on an external HDD.
So my issue is this. I originally used 3 different partitions (Mac SSD with normal APFS and two seperate ExFAT partitions), but because they conflict and try to update between the two, I wanted to use one partition for one Steam install and one for the other.
It at first seemed like a quirk with Whisky/Wine, but even after removing a library from a Steam install, opening that same Steam install and checking storage shows that the other partition is back. This happens in the regular Mac install as well. Is there anything I can do to hide the Steam folder from one partition and do the same in the other so I don't have to deal with this every time I open Steam? I realize this may be convoluted.
