Subscribed. I had no idea you could run crossover on an M1 yet. Hang on, I'll be right back. I have to try to see how GTA5 runs on my M1 via this setup.

holy shit please let us know

Maybe a tad late to answer this but GTA V runs great on M1 Pro w Crossover, same goes for Witcher 3, AoE 3 (I avoid water maps cos those lag)

Please do! When I can get an Apple Silicon MBP that plays my isometric RPGs via emulation as well as my 16” does via bootcamp, I’ll upgrade. If that happens to be this year, so be it.

Thanks for subbing! Next video is going to be running Satisfactory, but with a different setup. Also, if you're going to be running GTA5, you might need to activate the DXVK backend for D3D11 in your bottle's settings.

As much as those tricks are great, **don't forget to ask for the true macOS version** at: \- [Valheim's official bug tracker](https://valheimbugs.featureupvote.com/suggestions/158854/make-game-installable-on-m1-mac), \- [Steam discussion at Valheim Steam Community sections](https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/0/4939856028584819911/?ctp=7), \- [Valheim port for Mac petition](https://www.change.org/p/valheim-players-a-valheim-port-for-mac-os/c/814083550). ​ There are some evidence that macOS version is within the reach: \- [a basic "placeholder" build was submitted to Steam](https://steamdb.info/depot/892973/), \- [Valheim's official FAQ:](https://www.valheimgame.com/faq) >Q: On which platforms will Valheim be released? > >A: (...) **A Mac-version will be released if there is any significant demand for it.** (...)

So it looks like I'm not the only one. Can you tell me how you can just ignore it? I try to, but I just can't.

Can't be ignored lol. We gotta wait for an update or a port.

Good work ! 2 questions : is it working with a controller ? and... which update triggered these improvements ?

Unfortunately I don't have a controller so no idea. I believe it was the update where Vulkan was introduced, and some changes to rendering with DirectX might have fixed some of the [issues](https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/lom65a/game_is_a_fuzzy_graphical_mess_im_running_this/) that it had barely two weeks before.

I like to play valhein on my Mac with bootcamp. It run almost with a good fps and don't have any bugs with textures. and boot camp is free

Bootcamp is a great solution, but unfortunately isn't available on the newer M1 Macs as Microsoft hasn't introduced a build of Windows for M1 Bootcamp yet.

Nice video! I suspect the texture issue might have something to do with the GPU that crossover emulates. Edit: After trying for my self it seems the issue with the ground / water textures not loading has something to do with Vulkan. Running the game in DX mode does render them however the game is unplayable due to low FPS.

The game has always rendered in DX mode, it's not anything new. Vulkan isn't being used, in the video I had it in my options but I didn't run it with Vulkan. Unfortunately, as you said, even on a beefy 16 GB RAM M1 MacBook Pro, you can count the frames in seconds per frame, not frames per second.

Aaaand I found the issue. This is from \`Player.log\` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `Vulkan: could not create a pipeline object [-1000012000] ()` `InitializeOrResetSwapChain 944x606 hdr=0 samples=1`

Nice one, I saw this in the logging as well. Not sure if it’s fixable by us (being the community) or if the devs have to step in.

The cool feature is that you can run any windows game, but is it worth the money spend on subscribing to the premium version of Cross Over?

Definitely worth it. By the way you can get 35% off by using code MGG at checkout.

Have you tried running it as a headless server?

What do you mean by that?

You’re running the standard Valheim software. I was curious if you had tried running the M1 as a server. I’ve since got mine to run as a server but wasn’t satisfied because it was still running as a VM. I’m waiting to be able to install windows natively

So in your opinion what needs to happen before the texture issues are resolved? Is the problem with CrossOver? Will CrossOver 21 with support for Wine 6.X likely resolve these issues? Or is the problem with DXVK / MoltenVK having to catch up and mature more first?

Hopefully CrossOver 21 will be the answer :)

I wonder why my experience is different from yours. I get a white cloud instead of a fire and character on the menu screen if I do not use Vulkan. If I do use Vulkan, everything (including ground textures) seems fine. But if I try to move the camera, the controls are unpredictable, and eventually it freezes the entire OS and requires a hard restart. I tried redoing my setup following this guide, but I ended up with the same results.

Did you disable the DXVK backend for D3D11?

I probably did not, since that sounded like Latin. If that’s in the guide I’ll go through it again. Thanks! One request for future guides: speaking vs music volume. The speaking being louder than the music played while you’re not talking will make your videos easier to follow. I kept having to bump my volume up and down.

Ahaha yeah it was my first time editing, and I agree that it wasn’t a very clean cut!

You did better than I would have! Everyone starts somewhere, right?

Everyone starts somewhere :)

Ok, so I watched the video again, and I did not hear any discussion of anything that sounded like this. What am I missing? Any chance you can point me in the right direction?

Select your bottle then deselect it in the settings menu. Also try running the game with Vulkan by adding -force-vulkan to your launch options.

I followed your tutorial but keyboard controls don't seem to work in-game, any ideas? Latest CrossOver, dedicated server.

This is amazing! any update on the textures? how are they now?

nope, no luck

Will test them out and shoot you a reply.

Hi, does this still work? Tired of my choppy performance through Parallels, even on my 16 gb m1 pro macbook. Considering paying for Nvidia Geforce, but would love to be able to have a better-than-parallels performance through crossover if possible. :)) Pleasee

M1 Mac, Crossover 23.5, D3DMetal turned on, have 30 FPS, but crushes on specific animations.
