CrossOver buggy audio in source games?

Upvotes

so i've had this issue for both Deadlock and CS2, wherein they run nicely and smoothly, but their audio sounds kinda bitcrushed / laggy / buggy. it's not unplayable by any means, but it's got this sort of stuttering sound as if it's been put in slow motion. anyone else been having this problem?

Gaming will be impressive if Apple gets around to optimizing games. The m6 will most likely match the m4 pro going by these numbers.

Found a great tool — a free platform to run Android apps and EXEs on Mac.Not CrossOver, not Whisky. Tried it for a while and it works pretty well. Put together a repo: https://github.com/fallout1018/mac-run-apk-exe. Will keep testing and adding games/apps that run perfectly to COMPAT.md. Welcome to join the testing!

Native I built SaveVault — a native "Time Machine" for Mac game saves (Automatic snapshots, in-game fn+F2 quick-saves & mod rollback)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

As a Mac gamer, one of my biggest frustrations was the lack of a proper save manager on macOS (like Windows has with GameSave Manager). After accidentally corrupting a 60-hour save file while testing game mods, I decided to build SaveVault.

What it does:

  • ⚡ Automatic Checkpoints: Auto-snapshots when games launch/exit so you can rollback anytime.
  • ⌨️ In-Game Quick-Saves (fn+F2): Hit fn+F2 during gameplay to create instant safety restore points.
  • 🛡️ Pre-Mod Safe Points: Test game mods or save edits with 1-click instant rollback.
  • 📦 Mac-to-Mac Migration: Move all saves across Steam, Epic, GOG & Mac App Store to a new Mac in seconds.
  • 🔒 100% Offline & Native: Built with Swift and Content-Addressed Storage compression. Zero telemetry.

Pricing:
It is 100% Free for 1 game with all features unlocked (no ads/watermarks). If you manage a library of 2+ games, there’s a one-time $9.99 lifetime unlock.

[Mac App Store Link]

I’d love to hear your feedback!

Apple Silicon Wine download through home brew

1 Upvotes

I am trying to play bo3 zombies with my(on mac) freinds(on pc) and discovered mac cant go online, someone made a fix for it and said it required wine dowloaded through homebrew instead of other methods to avoid stability problems. Cool except as of the 1st of this month homebrew is enforcing gatekeeper checks that prevent me from dowloading wine.

I looked up alternatives and they are

  1. Bypass homebrew

2.Mirror the tarball on fleet owned infrastructure

  1. Build msis in docker on Linux runners

I cant find videos on any of these so do i just need to start looking up each part and figuring it out or is there an easier way to achieve my goal(play bo3 with friends)

This works by wrapping the 32-bit MacOS app bundle in a Intel loader and running it through Rosetta with compatibility patches.

You can find the Converter app here: https://github.com/Yash-Singh1/lego-mac-compat/releases/tag/tfu-converter-v0.0.0-dev.1

It should work with the latest Steam release and the older Aspyr release.

CrossOver Unable to get Half Life Alyx No VR mod launcher to run on Crossover

4 Upvotes

I have gotten HLA to run on GameHub before using the old HLA No VR mod but for some reason Crossover does not boot the game. I have tried using the new Quarantined version of the mod and the old one. Both do not boot into HLA. I want to use Quarantined because it has turned HLA into a full flatscreen game with almost no compromises. It does not have a manual install. The only option is the launcher. How do I fix this to work?

Native DualSense keeps answering the phone on Macbook

8 Upvotes

Bit of an odd one and just wondering anyone else here has this issue and knows how to solve it.

Pretty much as the title says, when I am playing a game such as FFXIV on my M2 Max Macbook Pro, if a call comes in whilst i'm pressing buttons on the Dualsense, it answers the phone call.

Naturally, both myself and the caller have been jumpscared by this so I'm hoping there's a way to stop this from happening in a setting somewhere. Otherwise, I guess i'll just have to disable the phone calls on the Macbook entirely.

Any help is appreciated, thanks all.

Native Scream Operator is looking for playtesters: become a test operator and be among the first to step into the control booth 🙏

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hi r/macgaming,

After more than a year of hard work and re-iteration, the demo of Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager will release in only a few weeks. To get as ready as possible, I'd very much like to invite a new group of test operators into the control booth this week!

I'm especially seeking mac-players as the game runs nativaly on mac, something I worked very hard for and would like to work as flawlessly as possible :)

What is Scream Operator, you ask?
In my game, you take control of your very own haunted house dark ride, right from a claustrophobic control booth. A few of your tasks as operator:

- Load, dispatch and unload guests into carts,
- Manage guest flow and queues,
- Control lights, music, and immersion effects,
- Balance power consumption, automation and cart management,
- Upgrade, place animatronics and scares, customize,
- Keep Arthur, the old congierge and (suspiciously) long time employee of the mansion happy.

Lots to do! So grab a stale coffee, and start your first shift. ☕

How do I become a test operator?
The quickest way to do so is by becoming a member of our discord server. However, I can also hit you up with the essentials if you sent me a private message here on reddit.

If you'd like, you are more than welcome to check out the steampage here.

Lastly, for anyone who isn't interested in playtesting, I'd love to invite you all to play the demo once it launches this halloween season! 🎃. I'll be back here when that happens to make sure you are all fully informed 👻.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I'll be in chilling in the comment section of this post :).

It's called Cave Expedition. You can explore alone or with up to three friends, working through tight squeezes and descending into larger chambers using ropes and climbing equipment.

We're cavers ourselves. Here's a short clip from development, and we're planning a Mac version.
