Game List

[woile]

Is there a place where users can find information about games and also to add reports of how games work?
Something similar to https://www.protondb.com/

This thread could be a good starting point, so if anyone wants to report go ahead.

I'd recommend following this format:

[VyacheslavFedorovyh]

Tell me how you measure FPS?

[VyacheslavFedorovyh]

I found a way, you need to go to the “bottle configuration” section in Whiskey => enable Meta HUD and Trace Metal
In the terminal "/bin/launchctl setenv MTL_HUD_ENABLED 1"

[crf4life]

how did you get rockstar to run?

[crf4life]

I'm calling BS on this

[GabCoolDude]

When this user posted their original comment, the game worked. Now, an update to the rockstars game launcher has broken it, making GTA V no longer accessible.

So, it wasn't BS.

Hello! Did you have any problems with the characters' speech? Mine are mute.

UPD: Solved, instruction here: https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/wiki/Game-Support#skyrim-se

[JRatMain]

After following the steps there, I'm now getting "steam is no longer supported on your operating system". Did you get that at all?

[mtriston]

I had the same, but steam still work. It’s just said on the top of steam window. But I have other issue - game crashes after a few minutes.

[qlQAQlp]

game: Monster Hunter World: ice borne
status: platinum
mac：macbook pro（m2 pro 10cores）
gptk: 1.0.4
installs: yes (steam)
opens: yes
comments: game runs smoothly and perfectly at lower setting at 1080p (50-60fps). Turning on DirectX 12 api will causes the game to crash and requires reinstallation to run again(don't ask how I do I know)
P.S. It might took about 3-5 min black screen before the capcom logo appears each time the game starts

[Yetweiwei]

Hello.The game can't recognize the xbox controller. Do you have a solution?

[humantorch]

Honestly if there's enough of a body of people who would make use of it I'd love to knock out a doesitarm-style website for users to submit info like this to.

[c01nd01r]

This website exists - https://www.applegamingwiki.com/

[LeaveNhA]

I would love to create and maintain such a website. If @IsaacMarovitz agrees.

[queses]

@robbiemu Yes, it looks like Crossover + CXPatcher is the only way to play Overwatch. I haven't had any luck trying to run it via Whisky.

[ALIMURTADO]

could you mind to give a clue or link to EA fix

[JRatMain]

not quite a fix but iirc you will need this. I saw a possible fix before, but I forget where it was, so I'll have to look for it when I have a moment. I do remember that this is needed:

gptk: 1.3.0
installs: yes (steam)

comments: You may need to rename or remove the movie folder. (But this will not be able to run the intro when the new game starts.) Online play can be laggy or shuttered due to unknown reasons. But offline play does work extremely smoothly.

game: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
status: gold
mac: MacBook Air 2020 M1 8GB
gptk: 1.3.0
installs: yes (steam)
opens: yes
comments: DXVK seems to run better due to low memory usage. The game is not quite stable due to shutter because of the shader compiler. But I was able to go through to the entire tutorial. Most shutters occur when you enter new areas. I think more RAM will perform this game much better. Also, closing Steam and launching this game does help. (Run this game through SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe and DX11 mode "-dx11" or DX12 "-dx12".)

[c01nd01r]

Have you tried using Async DXVK? I played a game with Crossover a while back, added the DXVK_ASYNC=1 setting to the bottle config, and after that, the shutters disappeared.

[MyzTyn]

I will test it again later. I assumed that you have the same model? Also, Crossover has newer versions than what Whisky currently using. Maybe it could be part of the issue?

[c01nd01r]

Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the model. I have a 14' M1 Pro 16/512. However, I also had issues with shutters until I enabled DXVK Async.

I recently tested the game with DXVK Async. It does fix the shutters. But there still small shutters left. Just a load issues... Also, I reenabled the DX12 once again. It's little smooth and works just fine (small-medium shutters on every load). I am not sure. It's playable with either DX11 with Async/DX12.

I may will need to update the comment later with fixes.

game: HELLDIVERS: Dive Harder
status: gold
mac: MacBook Pro, M2 Pro
gptk: 1.3.0
DXVK: Off, M-Sync On
installs: yes (steam)

comments: Audio glitches probably related to reverb, Gunshots reverb can sometimes spike and be really loud, In-game settings seem to have no remedy. Perfectly playable consistent 60 FPS, multiplayer works! both online and same screen co-op work great with a controller and keyboard and mouse at the same time.

DXVK: On/Off, M-Sync/E-Sync On
Installs: Yes (Steam)
Opens: No; Error "Fatal D3D error (3, E_NOTIMPL, 0x80004001)
Comments: This error continually comes up upon launch. I've toggled multiple Bottle Configurations and tried some Winetricks to get things going to no avail. I realize that there's an App Store version, however that means losing hours of progress and other in-game content. I think this may resolve with updates over time, though I figured I'd post this here.
