Lol rip Mac users

Game is not working even before the league even has started.

M2 MAX - Tried standalone Mac Client/ Steam client and cross over client. All not working.

Welp, it's PoE 2 for me then.

Mac attempt on steam, button goes blue but the game never launches, and then after about 5-10 seconds it just goes back to having the play button green (launchable). Cant get inside the game whatsoever. Verified files, 100% fine. Uninstalled reinstalled, same error. Opening file source and clicking the application runs the client for 2-3 seconds before MacOS says that Path of Exile is corrupted and asks you to move it to bin.

bro is min-maxing to get an asap response

having same issue on my M3 Max... sad stuff

I have paid CrossOver, can't get it working there either

Tried 3 options to launch PoE on M1 MacOS -- all failed

1. Standalone launcher on Mac
2. Standalone launcher on CrossOver
3. Steam launcher on CrossOver

NONE OF THESE WORK!!!!!

I am having the same problem with my Macbook pro M4 Max.

Native steam mac app install of poe will not launch, i have tried using a known working backup of the production_Config.ini with no luck. Nuke and reload of the application with deleting the application support directory and user poe folder does not work.

Crossover Steam app with a working version of POE install will not launch after the update to get this to work you need to go into your documents->my games-> Path of exile folder then to the production_config.ini change the renderer_type to renderer_type=DirectX12 save and relaunch the game. Also for you bottle change graphics to d3dmetal and reboot the bottle.

I don't know how many of these steps are necessary (kinda doubt most of them are tbh), but this is how I got kegworks working for me:

1. Go through the steps recommended here for kegworks: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Guide:Path_of_Exile_on_Mac_using_Windows_Client
2. Doesn't work
3. Close everything, change the renderer in the config file to Vulcan, open kegworks config and test run(via the kegworks config) with all variations of direct... to ...
4. All of these result in black screen
5. Change the config file back to DirectX12 and back to D3DMetal
6. Test run via the kegworks config
7. Runs successfully

Hate playing this game. Worked perfectly fine last night and isn't even opening anymore. Took me half a day to download everything again. I have been playing this game since season 1, but looks like I'm gonna quit playing POE altogether.

I haven’t been able to play it since 2024. Crashes after startup every time. I’m using the Stream version.
