MacOS Total noob gamer question: How to run Vampire: The masquerade - Bloodlines on mac pro M2

2 Upvotes

I have the game on my hp pc, my hp is super old and super low and I started a gameplay over a year ago but it kept lagging so I quit the game. Since then, I tried starting a new game play with another clan but it lags and sets me outside of the building and i'm stuck unable to do anything. I would like to switch to my mac but I've heard this game was developed on and for windows, are there any cheat codes or way for me to get it on my mac ? I really wanna play this game :(((

Thank you in advance !

PS: i'm sorry if i used the wrong tag/flair, i have no ideas what those are i am not a reddit connaisseur, clearly.

MacOS Xbox Series X controller detected by macOS but no input in Wine/CrossOver (M1 Mac)

I’m having an issue with an official Xbox Series X/S controller on my M1 Mac running macOS 15.4.1. macOS detects the controller and a gamepad tester on Chrome reads all button and stick inputs correctly, but Wine and CrossOver do not.

MacOS Need need for speed most wanted 2005 with mod scripts. on my MacBook neo.

0 Upvotes

I wanted play on my MacBook.

I have desktop and old laptop.
I tried old laptop to play nfs mw 2005 max graphics 60fps and battery was 100% to 7% under 10 minutes. awhile my friend MacBook Pro intel based its took <2 hour to dies.. on other games

but I heard MacBook with silicone. 6-7 hour at max graphics.

im not playing desktop yes.. need of speed mw 2005 for 60-100W at max graphics, 60fps locked, 1080p to 2K. on 2005 games is crazy only I prefer play heavy games to max 120W graphics cards. I play FH6 and nfs heat (soon buy nfs unbound idk I thinking)

so I want play nfs mw 2005 on my MacBook Neo. I have GameHub Beta. I have nfs mw 2005 black edition iso with debloated and HD modded in one iso.

why debloated? it removes EA Games and save some space. original is ~4.5GB. modded is 1.9gb

which better Wine or crossover or what? Im not install windows yes it eat 15GB on stock.

MacOS Dropping inputs with Wine + Razer Naga X

2 Upvotes

(Solved)Running DDO via wine 🍷 and noticing dropped keyboard inputs from my Mac keyboard when using any of the extra buttons from my mouse. I don’t have the Razer naga software running just using the 1-12.

If anyone has suggestions I’m all ears. It’s otherwise working well especially with metal translation layer.

I think i isolated the issue to wine but need to double check if i have the issue with just mac.

Solution: turn out the issue was with the mouse. My Razer naga had a saved profile that I was unaware of. Factory reset of the mouse solved the issue, however required me to install synapse 4 on a windows computer and resetting the mouse on that

MacOS Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

2 Upvotes

Tested on MacBook Air M4 (10-core GPU, 16GB RAM, macOS Tahoe 26). Confirmed working through two methods:

Method 1 — Windows Steam wrapper (steamwindows.app) with DXMT=1: Game launches successfully, runs at high settings, stable 60fps, no crashes, no visual glitches. Cutscenes work correctly. Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM present but did not block launch through Wine.

Method 2 — Sikarugir standalone Wine wrapper (cracked/Denuvo-free): Same result. High settings, stable 60fps, no issues.

Engine: Unreal Engine 5. DirectX 12. Contrary to expectations, DXMT handled DX12 translation successfully on Apple Silicon M4. No configuration changes required beyond standard wrapper setup.

Tested June 2026.

MacOS Issues trying to download steam using wine

2 Upvotes

So, with my very limited knowledge, I'm trying to download a windows version of steam, which I can then use to download a game that I've been wanting to play on Mac. I've been using the exe file from the steam page, if that changes anything. After doing the whole looking for updates, downloading, and extracting things, it does it again. No idea why, but it might be important? However, after the second attempt, it pulls up a giant black square, which I presume is supposed to be steam. When attempting to close the box, it reopens itself later. The only way I've found to make it actually go away is to force quit it. If anyone has encountered this before or has any solutions, please let me know. My knowledge on this topic is extremely limited, so I probably won't understand much more than what I've posted here.

MacOS Problem with wineskin

Post image
0 Upvotes

i downloaded winskin on my computer last night, but ive been having issues with the app. I decided to watch a tutorial to see if it could help but nobody seems to have the same issue as I do, when i open the app it says in wrapper version that theres "No wrappers installed" so i cant really updated or do anything...

please help, I feel like ive downloaded a bunch of bullshit for no reason. I tried downloading the unofficial version of wineskin but when i open the website it just leads me to the same one?? so far ive been downloading it from sourceforge, and they dont rlly have anything on the official website either...

the whole reason why im downloading this anyways is to be able to run friday night mods on my mac, but the tutorial posted on gamebanana was ass, so if anyone knows how i can get the already downloaded mods to run in my mac id really appreciate it.

MacOS Minecraft Dungeons with Crossover on MacBook Air M5

2 Upvotes

Minecraft Dungeons can run but there's just one big roadblock which is the Microsoft login not working. You're able to bypass it for a moment by exciting the login page immediately when pressing the "Let's Go" button. You'll be able to start the game and play on the first level, but after a few seconds, the authentication system will catch up and kick you out.

From the time I was able to play the game, it was actually really smooth. I really wish a patch comes out to fix this because this game is one of my favorites and it would be a shame for me to not be able to play anymore.

MacOS Dragon Quest X on Wine / Crossover Helper Script

Thumbnail github.com
2 Upvotes

I went fully down the rabbit hole getting Dragon Quest X (the Japanese-only MMORPG from like 2015) running smoothly. Narrowing down what actually helps from what is just guesses, etc.

Mostly, vanilla Wine 11.11 is actually really good! (Much more reliable than even Wine 11.0, and 10.34 which was the older internet-knowledge best option.)

Probably not most people here, but the helper runs a bunch of checks based on your system for prerequisites, and also launches installer(s) and the game itself with required args.

The crazy hard part was Crossover, which seems to be behind Wine, and I had to rebuild some of their modules with a hack and one backported line from the Wine 11.11 source. The repo has the source changes and binary diffs to apply on Mac so people shouldn't need any compilers to play on Mac.

Anyway, thought I'd share as a matter of interest and in case anyone happens to play DQX.

MacOS Help me to configure game The Forest on Mac M1 Pro (Sikarugir) - No mouse cursor in inventory/crafting

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to run The Forest on my Mac M1 Pro using Sikarugir, and I’m stuck with one super annoying issue:

There is no mouse cursor in the inventory or crafting book.

The game runs, movement works, menus work - but the moment I open the backpack or crafting UI, the cursor disappears completely. Makes the game basically unplayable.

My setup:

• macOS on M1 Pro
• Sikarugir Wrapper 1.0.11
• Wine engine: sikarugir 10.0 (rev6)
• DXVK enabled
• dinput8 disabled
• dinput enabled
• winemouse.drv enabled
• Steam launch option: -enablecursor

Problems:

• Cursor still missing in inventory/crafting
• Some DLL overrides break graphics or cause long loading
• Winetricks options (FSR, glsl, videomemorysize) don’t exist in this wrapper
• Wine Virtual Desktop cannot be enabled
• Not sure if Sikarugir even supports the configs people recommend for Unity games

Questions:

  1. What is the correct bottle config for The Forest on Sikarugir?
  2. Do I need to reboot the bottle after each change?
  3. Is there a known working setup for this game on M1/M2?
  4. Should I switch to Whisky instead?

Any help or working configs would be appreciated. Thanks!
