[OSX] Unofficial Path of Exile port - 30/12/2018 status update

Hey, I just started playing PoE on my Mac "2 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 Go 1867 MHz LPDDR3" and I have big fps/ms drops every time I move a little.
What can I do ?

Thank you in advance.

anyone tried this on mac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oml17BUf760 and with moltenvk ?

So, I've downloaded everything and managed to get the game to start up okay. I log in to Oriath, and I'm able to chill for about thirty seconds to a minute before getting an error about failing to uncompress a texture file. This has happened repeatedly now. It seems to be different textures each time. Is there any fix for this? Will redownloading help?

I'm not sure if this has been discussed in the thread already. Is there a way to search the thread specifically instead of the whole forum? New here...

Thanks!

dxvk makes wine translate dx11->vulkan instead of wine's standard dx11->opengl

Hmm, this sounds very promising... If the DX11 now works (should be with more recent wine), then it is worth of trying... The fps issues comes from dx9->opengl at this moment.

Will give it a try hopefully this week, if it will be success, I'll rework the wrapper and installation instructions.

Edit: Did some investigation. Currently this is no-go. Wine-vulkan/dxvk needs to be modified to be able to support moltenvk. We will see this done in the future, but as for now, there is no way to make it work properly on Mac :(

thx for an investigation, really hope for this kind of solution: to have a metal support and may be inside poe directly if it is an easy solution for devs

Always get message: "Recieved Packet that is to big to deserialze".

Anyone know how to get around this?

UPDATE: Any advice on how to seriously troubleshoot this? I can deal with all sorts of visual glitches, usually closing and opening the window solves them; I can deal with the window randomly minimizing itself; I can deal with FPS drops, and long loading times... but the game randomly freezes and locks up, both in the middle of the action, and, especially, when loading as I move from one area to another. Constantly. To the point of it being functionally unusable. :(

FYI, this wouldn't load at all with the default settings. Am running OS X 10.13.4 (High Sierra) on an 2013 era 21.5" iMac.

I took a look at LastRunWine.log and saw this...

err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

$ echo $DISPLAY

I just installed a version of X11 the other day in an attempt to get "minetest" installed and working, so it occurred to me that this might be the issue. Changed the settings in Wineskin under Advanced/Options to enable "Force use of system installed XQuartz instead of using built in WineskinX11", and the launcher ran successfully. Is now "Allocating Space..."

Hope this works, would be nice to not have to boot my Windows box to play.

Hope this helps someone else.

Hi,

I am totally new to the game, I like it a lot.
I installed V8 on my mac without any problem.
Ca. every 5 minutes my game freezes and I have to close the client and to start it new, to log in to play for 5 minutes :D.

Maybe there is any help

Hi,

I am using a Macbook Pro with eGPU - is there anyway I can make POE use the external gfx rather then the onboard one?

Thanks!
