Mac + Steam issue

I also have this issue.

I’m assuming we wont have a fix before new league launch on the 15th?

MAcbook pro retine 15" early 2013

so using nvidia 650m or whatever it is

tried installer cant install, crashes after 27mb or something
tried steam downloads, install but game wont start at all.

since november trying to get some kind of information but nobody says anything what the F is going on. no update no information nothing.

A person in a similar thread mentioned that GGG now uses some AVX2 instructions in their launcher / game which is unsupported by the CPU in the MBP 15" early 2013. In Layman's Terms your CPU can't run the game because it's too old. And to clarify I'm not saying it's too slow, it just doesn't have some CPU features needed to run the game.

That being said the M1 Macbooks also can't run the game and GGG will have to think of a workaround for the AVX2 instructions, so there is a slight chance that you "might" be able to play the game in a few months. The thing is that they may just release an ARM launcher for the M1 in which case you will still be out of luck. Some got PoE running on an M1 mac with Crossfire so you may try that (using the free trial) to see if it can run.

On the latest patch notes, they seem to added a fix for the AVX2 issue. '(Possibly) fixed a crash on macOS clients that prevented the game starting if your hardware didn't support AVX2. It's a real tough one to test, so let us know if you're still having problems!'

Unfortunately still an issue. It just takes time I'm sure.

Can confirm this is still an issue. Even after the new 11GB patch and a few small ones till today.

I'd really like to play PoE but just can't. I've downloaded it via Steam (the standalone version hast he same issue though).

My setup is:

macOS Mojave (10.14.6)
Mac Pro (mid 2010)
3,46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
24 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Radeon RX 580 8 GB

macbook pro m1 still here, how can i fix it?

Any Update on this? Still facing the same issue you guys?

Sadly yes. I'm excited for every PoE update Steam shows me. But up to this point none of them fixed the issue. It's kinda disappointing. So much in fact that I'm already thinking of starting up Diablo 3 again ... this abomination of a game ... *shudders*
