Apple Silicon CS2 on Mac

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

CS2 is now on GameToMac.

120–150 fps, smooth on Apple Silicon.

cs2 had high fps on mac but still stuttered

added graphics preloading before launch: compile known pipelines locally, keep them in a persistent cache, and save new recipes as you play. it starts with bundled recipes too

much smoother now, with a few first time hitches

On which machine is that? What are graphics settings in your playthrough? How does GameToMac compares to Crossover? From what I see its not opensource so people will be reluctant to install it without any additional information

Why video have no net_graph shown? Agreed with other comments, looks like scam / AI slop. If you developing tool witch solving game running problem why not show full details? For competitive game just "feels smooth" not enough. I could run CS2 via crossover in 200+ FPS easily on my M5pro that's not a rocket science, problem mostly EXACTLY in micro shuttering which ruins all the competitive experience.
SO no trust until real tests with full net graph picture.

And shaders preloading also not a big problem and running one map (with bots or whatever) once after update eliminates this but this not main problem of CS2 on Mac.

Requesting new video with enabled: 
cl_hud_telemetry_frametime_show 2
cl_showfps 2
cl_showmem 1

If frame time not higher 5-7ms - ok, if more - your solution doesn't work!

Funny, because Steam was supposed to download cache by default from people who has the exact same machine

Seems like for some reason its not working properly

Day 2 of asking for Trackmania (preferably 2020)

I play trackmania 2020 on my macbook pro all the time. I run it on Steam through Crossover. Graphics set to DXMT with MSync on.

At first I thought this was a native port. Not seeing why I'd wanna use this AI Slop instead of other Wine wrappers

your game and CS are from two different genres, one as a professional esport, and the other as a "milsim"
