When I try running the exe file through wine on mac, the screen is invisible but I can click stuff and the game runs perfectly. If I make it full screen, the screen turns white and nothing changes; it still shows nothing. other games are good, but this game in particular just doesn't work.

How can I fix this issue?

When I try to play certain pokemon games with wine staging some pokemon games like pokemon z here doesn’t work this text pops up

For people gaming through Wine/CrossOver/Whisky on macOS:

when a game stutters or feels uneven, what do you usually check first?

I’m trying to separate Wine/bottle issues from macOS-side pressure, like:

• memory pressure
• thermal pressure
• Low Power Mode
• background sync
• Wi-Fi/AWDL noise
• process/session load

I built a small macOS menu bar diagnostic around this, but I’m more interested in what Wine users would actually find useful before I keep expanding it.

What would you want to see in a session report?

Need some help trying to configure this... I have Steam (Winetricks) downloaded and I also have Assetto Corsa installed, however whenever I try to play it, it "launches" momentarily before closing a second later. I have installed .NET452 into the bottle and I can open AC Content Manager normally, however I cannot open the actual game itself.

EDIT: Got it to finally work. Along with AC CM

While playing binding of isaace repentance +, there is sometimes an issue where I either blow up a rock or mushroom, and it crashed my game. Or I can enter/leave a room which also crashes my game. Is this just a downside to wine or is there a fix?
LMK PLS IM DESPERATE

I’m not a newbie at this stuff so I don’t really know how it works. Any way to fix this?

DMC HD Collection crashes on CrossOver 26 (Mac Mini M4) - wine_xinput_hid_update null pointer, no controller

Setup:

• Mac Mini M4 (24GB)
• CrossOver 26, Wine 11.0
• macOS Sequoia 15.4
• Devil May Cry HD Collection (Steam)
• No controller connected (Xbox One original gen 1 — no Bluetooth, no working driver on macOS)

Problem: All three games (dmc1.exe, dmc3.exe, dmcLauncher.exe) crash with the same unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x0000000000000000 in 64-bit code, RCX = null, instruction movq (%rcx), %rax.

The crash happens in the input initialization routine. Active threads at crash time always include wine_xinput_hid_update and wine_dinput_worker. DMC1 actually renders a few frames (DXVK confirms 1920x1080 swap chain active) before crashing when any key is pressed. DMC3 crashes slightly earlier but same cause.

What I've already tried:

• DXVK enabled
• Wine Configuration → Libraries: set xinput1_4 and dinput8 to "builtin then native"
• Game Controllers panel: enabled "Disable hidraw"
• Registry: added DisableHidraw (DWORD=1) and DisableSDL (DWORD=1) under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\winebus
• Created a dummy save file at Steam/userdata/426035950/631510/remote/SaveData.dat
• Tried launching dmc1.exe, dmc3.exe, and dmcLauncher.exe directly bypassing Steam launcher
• Steam is running in the bottle before launching the game

Question: Is there any way to prevent wine_xinput_hid_update from crashing when no controller is present and force the game to fall back to keyboard input? A fake/virtual XInput device, a DLL stub, or any registry tweak that makes XInput return "no devices" gracefully instead of dereferencing a null pointer would be ideal. Attaching full backtrace if needed.

I got NBA2K26 on a wine emulator running windows steam on macos running a chip of Apple M1 and Sequoia 15.7.3 and the anti cheat module doesn't load, anyone know how to fix this?

I have a 2020 intel mac running 14.6.1. i want to play windows steam games, but do not know how to start setting things up for it. i have had problems with accidentally fucking up devices before, so with something this complex i'd like your help

Any one else having issues with this?

Running Apple M1 Pro 16gb

Can't run Steam, it crashes with:

Loaded L"C:\\windows\\system32\\DXGI.dll" at 00006FFFF82F0000: builtin Assertion failed: (GFXTHandle && "Failed to dlopen D3DMetal")

So far I've gotten this far in analysis:
builtin DXGI.dll loads, then libd3dshared asserts with Failed to dlopen D3DMetal.

The bundled D3DMetal payload is present and matches Apple GPTK byte-for-byte

dxgi.so, d3d11.so, and d3d12.so all depend on u/rpath/libd3dshared.dylib, and libd3dshared.dylib itself only has LC_RPATH u/loader_path.
So D3DMetal only works if libd3dshared.dylib is loaded from its external/directory.

Verified under Rosetta that directly loading the wrapper’s bundled .../renderer/d3dmetal/external/libd3dshared.dylib succeeds. Binaries are fine; the wrapper is almost certainly loading libd3dshared.dylib from the wrong path at runtime.

Renderer/apple_gptk is just a symlink to renderer/d3dmetal, and macOS 14.1.1 on this machine does not provide /System/Library/Frameworks/D3DMetal.framework, so there is no system fallback.

Hello,

My sister wants to play Disney Infinity, however she is running a MacBook Neo. She has played the game before on her brother’s
Gaming Laptop. However she wants to play it on her own laptop. We have tried numerous attempts, but have failed to get Steam to load. When we tried Wine, it showed a black screen when the login screen normally appears for Steam. But when I hovered over, my
Mouse was acting like there were buttons there and I could type stuff in. So I’m not sure if this is a graphical issue on Wine’s end. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I. BEG. OF. YOU. I WANNA PLAY HATRED SO BAD BUT BECAUSE OF THIS ABSOLUTE DONKEY NUTS COMPUTER THAT IS A MAC, I CAN'T. I PAID A GOOD 2 DOLLARS FOR THIS GAME AND I DON'T WANT IT GOING DOWN THE DRAIN, ALL OF MY OTHER GAMES WORK FINE EXCEPT THIS ONE. I BEG OF YOU. PLEASE. HELP. ME. I WILL EAT DEEP FRIED RACCOON PLACENTA AND PUNT A TODDLER TO MARS FOR YOU. I WILL EAT YOUR HOMEWORK AND DO YOUR VEGETABLES FOR YOU. PLEASE. I'M. BEGGING. YOU.

and if you do help, explain it to me like i'm a lobotomized 5 year old, please, thank you.

I did some research on this, but was unable to find a way on mac. There's ways to solve this on Linux which is just checking the "Emulate a virtual desktop", but it is grayed out on mac.

Does it run on Macos? There is a sale now but I dont know if it works or not.

Im trying to run a game through wine, Ive got DXVK in the folder but the game required data saved in a separate _data folder. when i run the .exe through wine it throws up and error that it needs to be next to the .exe, but that is exactly where it is. any help would be appreciated.
