[hybrid quiver]

and i consider myself to be decent with computers

its weird i can CD into it

and see application support

just cant access it

[proud igloo]

The checkbox only appears when you're in your home directory.

(the one you get to with Cmd-Shift-h)

[hybrid quiver]

got it

[proud igloo]

Could also Cmd-Shift-g and type ~/Library

[hybrid quiver]

ok, re installing

[proud igloo]

Enjoy the redownload 😄

I download the game like five times every patch on all my machines.

[hybrid quiver]

we'll see how it foes

goes

their mac client is so shit

prob best for them to not release in this state

I had to use a script from blocking escape from fucking up my game

and i hear an alert sound everytime i click

[proud igloo]

I had the bloops on key presses for a while, I think it's probably gone by now.

There's a bit of polish needed.

[hybrid quiver]

how do u get rid of bloops

it drives me crazy

[proud igloo]

Only really happened the first few times I ran it, so heaven knows.

[hybrid quiver]

ah alright

well appreciate ur help

hope this reinstall fixes it

[proud igloo]

If it keeps doing it, consider reporting it and flinging some system information over to the techsupport email.

I can't say I've seen this particular type of almost-working crash before, almost as if there's a new asset on the login screen that it borks on.

[hybrid quiver]

yea its weird, i was even able to play earlier today

[proud igloo]

Ooh - "New Vulkan SDKs with enhanced developer support for Apple platforms"

[hybrid quiver]

@proud igloo reinstall did it

[proud igloo]

Odd. I wonder if it was the config, the pack, or possibly the shader cache.

Good that you're up and running tho!

[hybrid quiver]

yep., heres to hoping next patch doesnt break

[stable aurora]

Oply

I play on xbox and pc

[peak marlin]

Are there any ways to use PoB without dual booting? I'm not opposed to dual booting, but not in the mood to have a day of troubleshooting if I don't have to

The browser version of PoB is impossible to copy-paste into, at least for me
Also found a supposed mac version that someone made for PoB, but it seems to crash every time I paste a pastebin link into it--but I need to test it further

[stable aurora]

What Goldra says is exactly my problem, too....

[peak marlin]

I'm considering just asking someone to give me a screenshot of the build in PoB, since I only really care about the skill tree

And now I'm getting the can't press any keys on keyboard in game bug :D

Restarting a bunch fixed it, thank fuck

[proud igloo]

Awesome 😄

Can't say I've looked much at PoB, would kind of expect it to run fine enough under Wine. VMs are probably hard due to 3D acceleration.

[peak marlin]

I know it would, it's just that setting up stuff like that is always going to take multiple hours of involved troubleshooting
And I don't feel like dealing with that sort of thing right now

[stable aurora]

has anyone already figured out a way to get the new POB version to work?

[proud igloo]

Does it fail in new and fun ways?

[stable aurora]

since the new passive tree is out, it always crashes..

if anyone has a working version, pls let me know

[dull oxide]

has steam poe updated for macos the game's screen changed from heist to echoes and stills remains broken on launch

and there hasn't been a updated notification on downloads

or anything that it needs to be updated

[proud igloo]

@dull oxide PoE on Steam uses the same data file repository and gets executable patches at the same rate as macOS Standalone and PC versions.

The patch on macOS Steam will be available at the same moment as it will on PC Steam.

(give or take some tiny amount of time between when the repositories are made available)

[worthy epoch]

poe on mac sucks for me :C

[minor marlin]

:(

[dull oxide]

i can laucnh poe now but i can't type a name for my character to actually play

and there is nothing on options that lets me type or do anything other than being stuck in the character creation menu

so quite literally a bugged launch

and now is fixed

the models kinda look blurry

[chilly anvil]

what hardware are you running on? my guess would be dynamic resolution is scaling down resolution in a desperate attempt to get a decent frame rate

[dull oxide]

idk have 54 fps

the game takes long to load

my pc lags while it is loading a level

and it crashes while im trying to leave the starting area

i see a gap of ground model missing in the starting area

im stuck at 60 fps

yeah no the game is unplayble the game is stuck at twilight strand the music starts overlapping each other and then my pc screen went black and had to force restart my entire mac

is kinda playable now only if i don't do anything to resize it

ing at 25 fps

[zenith smelt]

What are you running on? Intel or M1 mac?

[neat hornet]

what program do you use for POB in mac ?

[dull oxide]

is native macos

catalina

[dull oxide]

fighting big mobs of enemies lowers me to 10 fps

while not fighting much im at 45 fps

as my limit adn when im loading is 60 fps but quickly goes to 45

[zenith smelt]

Ok so when I launch POE nativley and through cross over it crashes

This is not ideal

[zenith smelt]

When I launch POE on crossover through steam I get an error messege then I get stuck on a black screen, anyone ecountered this before?

[dull oxide]

are there any less populated servers?

the amount of people in 1 town is crashing my game

[proud igloo]

Actual game crash or just the usual disconnects from the launch?

Town instances tend to be filled to whatever handful capacity they have, so gateways won't matter much at all.

As there's more than 30 people on all 😄

[dull oxide]

then the game is unplayable ahve to restart from act 1 on a new character again

thanks ofr the help

[proud igloo]

What hardware are you on now again?

[dull oxide]

idk what hardware

don't even know how to check it

[proud igloo]

You can see your GPU and CPU in "About this Mac" on the apple menu

[dull oxide]

where is that even?

[proud igloo]

Top left corner of your screen on the menu bar there's an Apple menu.

In that there's an item "About this Mac".

[dull oxide]

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012)

processor 2.9 GHz quad core intel core i5

memory 8 gb 1600 mhz ddr3

startup macintosh hd

grapichs nvidia geforce gtx 660m 512 mb

doesn't said anything about hardware

[proud igloo]

Alright, that's what I was looking for.

[dull oxide]

for?

[proud igloo]

You're unfortunately just around the very minimum specifications for PoE.

[dull oxide]

what does that mean

[chilly anvil]

You're trying to play this game on an eight-year-old computer. And that doesn't really work very well.

[dull oxide]

well i can't afford anything

and my parents don't let me buy anything fro myself so i can't do anything about better pcs

i can only play in this junk

[proud igloo]

I'm guessing you've tried pulling all the settings down to the lowest, and run the game in half resolution (whatever the option is called)?

[dull oxide]

i always pull the settings to down on all my steam games

[proud igloo]

I feel with you, but I don't have much advice past that.

[dull oxide]

and then sometimes my games crashed all the time

[proud igloo]

This league start there is some additional problems with disconnects, primarily in towns.

[dull oxide]

with war thunder i did something to stop it from crashing mid matches but now it just glitches out after a few matches

[proud igloo]

They're working on fixing those.

[dull oxide]

on advanced settings it says i should let engine multi and dinamic resolution on

but idk if they affect frames too

[proud igloo]

Dynamic resolution draws at a smaller resolution to keep framerate good, so it's an option you probably want.

[dull oxide]

but you mean on or off

[proud igloo]

On.

Engine multithreading lets the game use more of your CPU cores, so also good on.

[dull oxide]

well the only place i can enjoy poe is on console

while in a area by myself and few enemies is 50 fps

but a small group is alreay 20 to 15 fps

[serene mulch]

try a server region where local time is 4am-7am for fewer people

and then immediately go to one of the less popular towns

a7 town is normally quiet by now

just avoid oriath at all costs

[dull oxide]

you mean act 5?

[versed coyote]

anyone here with a M1 mac? game keeps crashing for me on startup

[proud igloo]

@versed coyote The patcher (and game) does not support the M1 platform natively yet, and the code cannot be run through the Rosetta 2 translation layer.

Unless something has changed very recently.

[versed coyote]

aw man ):

[proud igloo]

Where and how are you crashing out?

[versed coyote]

when i start the game on steam nothing opens it just opens a crash window

[proud igloo]

Ah, Steam doesn't have Apple Silicon executables either so it tries running the translation layer and fails.

[versed coyote]

https://pastebin.com/t4Ews3QT i put a snippet of the crash log here idk if itll help at all

it says something about bad instruction

[proud igloo]

Yeah, that's most likely the instruction set thing. Stay tuned for future news on the M1 platform I guess.

Chris mentioned their problems in a Q&A recently so they're definitely aware that Apple Silicon exists ^_^

Can't really tell from the outside what exactly went pear-shaped there, but it looks close enough.

[dull oxide]

got 4 lag spikes entering on sarns encampment

for the first time entering it

[dull oxide]

lot sof people in that town as well

[dull oxide]

the pvp thing is laggier with the spammers

[dull oxide]

the game froze, i died then i get kicked back into the menu

[tidal dock]

Hi, anyone playing the game with new macbook air m1? How is the performance?

[chilly anvil]

Doesn't currently run, see above

[proper zenith]

I feel like a huge contributing factor to lag/low fps is that you can't play in fullscreen, anybody have an idea for this? I know its a known bug but just wondering if anybody's come up with a meatball fix for it lol

Actually i guess i could just avoid pressing ESC as much as i can but idk

[dull oxide]

what builds are better for mac without harming the fps besides minion builds

and that also wipes big groups of enemies before fps start to go between 8 fps

[chilly anvil]

I'm going to be perfectly frank with you and tell you: this isn't going to work out. You're trying to run this game on a computer with an 8 year old mid-range laptop graphics card

[dull oxide]

what you mean that it isn't going to work?

i was thinking of probably a dominion blow build that consumes enemies fast and makes a soldier quickly with herald of purity

[dull oxide]

also when you said avoid oriath at all cost i managed to get to act 6

didn't had trouble with the groups of enemies cuz myt minions were killing them fast

but now i have trouble with the enemies size on act 6 and lack of life or life regen and im dying in 2 seconds now before the -30 res

also audio was breaking or cutting off whenever i used a channelling skill

[serene mulch]

What they’re trying to say is that your computer simply isn’t powerful enough - there is no choice of build here that isn’t going to run at 10fps or worse

It will get worse as you get into maps

Your only option here is to somehow find a more powerful computer to play on

[peak marlin]

Yep

Unfortunately, this is either a poorly optimized, or just generally graphically intense game
And it'll fuck with older systems

[proud igloo]

The latter, coupled with that there's hard constraints on what type of assets may be preloaded.

[dull oxide]

well I can’t afford anything as I said so this what I have to play anyway

[dull oxide]

you know when you all 3 said it wasn't going to work well i got it to work anyway by changing some things in the graphic settings and in big groups or medium sizes of enemies i can still play with close to both 20,30 and 40 fps

so im currently at act 7 with a necro of lvl 59 and 2,3k life with 425 es

also levels now load faster

except for towns which take moments cuz of the amount of people and also because of their bright cosmetics but it loads

[supple glade]

Have u guys tried using nvidia geforce now service? Lets u play on their systems and streams the game as video so the performance only depends on your netspeed and also its free with a bit of wait time to get servers

[elder mango]

how do i use PoB on mac

[lean prawn]

So I have tried Parallels, Crossover, and the Mac client on M1 with no luck. So far the only thing that has managed to work is GeForce Now. Obviously that comes with issues of latency and all that.

@elder mango Trying PoB on Crossover now, will let ya know.

Looks like PoB does run on Crossover, so that's neat.

It does cost money after the 14 day trial, so that's probably not worth it. But it's possible that https://pob.party will be updated by then.

[harsh island]

@elder mango I managed to get PoB working with Wineskin. There's a (not 100% complete, but decent enough) reddit post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/j83gl4/howto_using_path_of_building_1417014_on_mac_os/

If you need any help, just DM me 🙂
If there's any interest I could write down the specific steps that worked for me to get it going.

[proud igloo]

@languid comet If it's not too much of a bother, could we get a pin for the above PoB workaround?

[dull oxide]

@proud igloo it is done i reached endgame and unlocked the act 10 kitava achievement and im not having trouble with big groups in maps

although it only lags when a certain ritual starts to degen my minons in 1 place unless i moved them out then is ok

so not bad for a 8 year old mac i can still finish the game as usual

[worthy epoch]

what're your settings?

[dull oxide]

I changed dinamic culling enabled and texture filtering to 16x and that was it

[chilly anvil]

… uh, that doesn't make any sense

dynamic culling doesn't affect performance outside of certain very busy scenarios, and 16x filtering is the most costly option

[dull oxide]

not really it fixed my problems

and i finished the game as well

[vital frigate]

anisotropic filtering is pretty cheap, so I'm guessing dynamic filtering was just good enough to keep your frames up

[proud igloo]

"finished the game" heh 😄

[dull oxide]

well im doing maps

[proud igloo]

"campaign" is a more accurate word then 🙂

[dull oxide]

well that is finished so the endgame is what im doing

although shame you can't edit the hideout once the map device is implanted

also shame there is no predetermined loot filter like the console version

[fossil dock]

Hi all, is it possible to change game resolution in osx version?

[proud igloo]

There's a fixed resolution scaling option in the options to have it render the 3D bits at a lower resolution, keeping the UI crisp.

Very handy if you've got a retina screen and want to play in more interactive framerates 😄

See https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2936449/page/2#p23786174

[fossil dock]

My AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8G - on retina can't work normally, but in windows with 1900 resolution work pretty well

[white pine]

anyone have a link to the current working installer ?

[proud igloo]

Not sure, have you tried the link from the original announcement post?

The dmg seems to differ greatly from the one I downloaded in the past.

I don't have any legacy macs up and running atm to check if it works from scratch, I assume you had the AVX2 problem in the past?

[white pine]

yep the original announcement post is still broken..

[proud igloo]

I wonder if it's trying to reuse bits from the Application Support library foplder.

Hecc it, where's my 2011 MBP...

[supple escarp]

if anyone knows how to get POB on a mac using winebottler can you DM me. i keep getting an error when i try to create the file to run on my macbook

[proud igloo]

There's a pinned message with a guide that supposedly works.

[supple escarp]

where in here?

[proud igloo]

The thumb-tack looking icon up top by the topic.

[supple escarp]

ahh gotcha thanks ill have a look

[proud igloo]

@white pine The patcher seems to still be hosed indeed. You may want to report this on the forum.

As a workaround after doing that, you may want to consider running the Steam version, as that doesn't use the patcher.

I guess I should report it too.

[white pine]

@proud igloo ty 🙏🏻

[proud igloo]

There's a bit varying reports on if it works or not.

My Mac doesn't have enough graphics to run PoE itself.

[white pine]

im on a new MM m1 so ill see how I go 😆
.

[proud igloo]

Oh? The M1 is hosed for both Standalone and Steam.

The only solution for those at the moment is running the PC version in Crossover.

[white pine]

.....my dreammmm

nooo

[proud igloo]

It's on the macOS Known Issues list and they're very aware of it.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2936390

Got around filing a bug report of my own at least, so that's something.

[white pine]

ill just have to wait then.... by chance to you know of a version of awaken poe trade for macOS?

or the like.

[proud igloo]

No idea, but I've seen bug reports for Awakened PoE Trade on Linux, so it might be a bit portable.

[white pine]

ok.. thanks again @proud igloo

[proper zenith]

@supple escarp if for some reason that method doesn't work, there's a community fork port somebody made for mac that seems to work well for me https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3009944

Scratch that, it crashes as soon as I click "import" lol

[proper zenith]

Apparently the version he has posted isn't the most recent, they have a short explanation of how to get the latest version through github but I have no idea how to do that so

Turns out i'm dumb, i still had the old fork installed so I deleted everything PoB related and reinstalled and it works perfectly now

[dull oxide]

there is a bug on joining and not being able to do any skills or abiliies when fighting

[dull oxide]

the servers are so laggy

even for the console version

[supple glade]

Wow i would suggest pinning this too

[supple glade]

Is there a poe awakened port for macos?

Or is there any way toh get it working any other way?

[near goblet]

@supple glade it's available on steam for macs now

[supple glade]

@near goblet not talking about the game, I'm looking for the overlay software poeAwakened

[near goblet]

Ohh mb

[proud igloo]

The program runs on Linux somehow and it's Electron-based so it could arguably be ported. It's the macOS-specific things that may affect how well it would interface with PoE.

I forget if you can run PoE "fullscreen", but if it's on one of those single-app desktops, popping an overlay may be hard or impossible due to how macOS works.

It could technically probably work if you play windowed on the main desktop, but it would likely require the author or someone else to attempt it.

[stable aurora]

anyone experiencing graphics issues after yesterday's patch?

[north night]

A lot of people

[proud igloo]

Haven't heard anything about macOS, but it's probably not untouched 😄

[proper zenith]

i've had graphics issues all league , mainly during Maven fights where the bosses don't load in for like 5 seconds lol. but i'm on an older computer so its expected i guess

[zenith smelt]

Hey guys, when I launch POE on crossover through steam on my M1 mac its says 'running' and the wine32on64preloader shows up but nothing else appears to happen?

can anyone please help

[serene mulch]

Isn’t there an M1 native client now? Why do you need crossover?

My understanding was that wine didn’t really support M1 macs yet?

[proud igloo]

@serene mulch PoE doesn't have one yet, last I heard they were working on supporting the platform.

There's been youtube videos demonstrating how Crossover supposedly ran PoE somewhat.

[rustic sparrow]

Hey guys, I think my game is bugged on Mac, is there anywhere I can ask about this?

[proud igloo]

You could always outline your problems here, search the forums for existing reports, and report new ones if you don't find any.

[rustic sparrow]

i cant seem to find any reports on my problem with actual solutions..
basically my problem is that i dont have a Light Radius in any dungeons i enter. I thought it was a feature until i saw some Streamers playing the game...
I posted on the forums a little while ago but havent gotten a response. Old forums tell me to set shadows to OFF but i cant find that setting.

i also am not using any passives that would affect Radius

[proud igloo]

So you're not running a low-life build or something?

Probably post a bug on it, there's a "Mac Client" tag.

[dull oxide]

so activating delirius mirrors and putting obrs of delirium into maps makes you blind and the screen goes semi black

with only been able to see the life bars

same on incursion

[proud igloo]

Exciting 😄

[dull oxide]

and raiding sindicate too

[proud igloo]

Could be some fun compatibility between the generated shaders and your particular hardware, probably doesn't hurt posting about it.

[dull oxide]

however i can see when im facing the syndicate boss

but going back outside is like clouds of nighttime outside

[proud igloo]

I forget if Delirium postprocesses like Incursions do.

Can you run breaches?

[dull oxide]

yes but is dark as well

like the other leagues

[proud igloo]

Sounds like a good bug to report if it hasn't already been done, as there's nothing in the Known Issues about it.

[dull oxide]

like one of those mods in fallout 4 which a ring turns you into that ghost effect of far harbor npc when you drink radiation of a shrine

same goes for the main menu as well

the back ground is dark but options or settings and ability to log in are present and brighter

how do i report bugs in the game?

commands often bugged out when i can check my inventory or do any skills

so i have to press I before walking

and then check my skills before walking after teleporting to hideout

the commands are broken you can't even put the menu up by pressing escape

it just makes a noise as if there is no commands

well i can't report bugs if the chat input is broken too

[rustic sparrow]

i'm very new to the game, but I dont think I'm doing a low life build? Even when on full health I find places to be completely dark. I can send a screenshot of gameplay if it would help.

I've also already posted about the bug on the POE technical support site a couple days ago, it hasnt been responded to yet.

[proper zenith]

If your HUD is visible but the rest of the screen is black, that sounds similar to a problem people have been having due to some weird texture loading bugs happening currently

[proud igloo]

My guess would be NaNs in postprocessing.

Remember the black square effect that some people had with some MTX the other league? That was probably a similar thing.

Hard to tell from the outside of course, I leave the fun for GGG 😄

[proper zenith]

Could that happen to the entire screen though? Idk, but there've been some insane problems with it recently lol

I've been having issues with floors just not loading in

[proud igloo]

Common to the mechanics mentioned before is that there's some amount of postprocessing involved in each.

Incursion has the radial blur, Breach has the bitcrush, heaven knows what Delirium has but I'm sure it's making stuff grey?

It could be something completely different of course like lighting, but UI tends to be composited on top of any such shenanigans.

[rustic sparrow]

i can see my game, its just extremely dark, so it isnt completely black. I can see my HUD, everything runs fine, its just that the light radius is the only thing missing. Up until now I've just been playing on max monitor brightness

[dull oxide]

this bug also affects act1 town

[serene mulch]

You might want to delete this screenshot, it’s got identifying information in it

[dull oxide]

idk what you mean by that

[serene mulch]

It had your full name in the corner, generally best to avoid giving out info like that

[dull oxide]

that isn't my name

[serene mulch]

well, someone's personal information, anyway

cmd-shift-4 to take a screenshot of a region

draw a box on the screen to only screenshot that area

[chilly anvil]

or, even better: cmd-shift-4, tap spacebar, click a window to screenshot only that window

[dull oxide]

servers are unstable

i keep crashing every few mins within a map

[stable aurora]

Hey guys, anybody else having graphics problems when playing on fullscreen, even not fullscreen but rather above certain window size, e.g.

[valid heath]

just w8 textures should pop in

if you have enough VRAM that is

[dull oxide]

there is always graphics problems for mac

like the menu screen is bugged

then the game freezes when i try joining a server

then you have to go through the annoyance of lots of people in 1 place and get disconnected and repeat 7 times till your character model and everyone else loads in and press inventory to check your commands don't get broken before you can move and restart again if they are, then wait till you get 45 fps as max na wait the same when you are in your hideout as well as the minions and hope you don't get server crashed while waiting

and also hope you don't get server crashed in the first map you put

[dull oxide]

red maps are broken

im getting desync mid boss fight

[valid heath]

well that sounds like ISP/Internet or Server issues, have you tried selecting different server ?

[dull oxide]

I’m on the California with lowest ms

[stable aurora]

I didn't have that problem until recently, I have two GPUs on my machine, I'm using one with 2GB of VRAM, what do you mean by just w8 textures should pop in?

[proud igloo]

The recent texture streaming improvements has extremely low-res placeholder textures always loaded, and will stream in high-res textures if space and time allows.

If you're experiencing scenarios where they never do, you may have to turn down your settings or maybe file a bug report on whether it's intended to be the way you observe.

[stable aurora]

Where is the proper place to file a bug report?

[proud igloo]

The bug reports forum has a Mac Client tag, so likely there.

[stable aurora]

👍

[amber kindle]

Hey guys, I’ve got an issue. When I start steam version of POE, it opens, I see the logo and when I loads (gears are rotating) it crashes. I verified local files 2 times. What should I do?

[valid heath]

dont expect much with 2GB of VRAM

Recently GGG limited textures to medium for user with less than 3GB of VRAM

[nova sierra]

Hey guys. There is a option for path building on mac?

[valid heath]

Check pins

[nova sierra]

Thanks!

[silver osprey]

hey guys, so i started up PoE and this is my game now .. ::(

[proud igloo]

Neato, just the light from the fire sources 😄

Someone earlier complained about black content in general too.

[silver osprey]

Yeah, I managed to walk around and randomly started conversations with NPCs because I had NO idea where I was 😂
Hope it can be fixed, I want to play again haha

[dull oxide]

thats whats happening on syndicate raids

[silver osprey]

😦 just hope its being fixed

[dull oxide]

that patch just made joining a server much more slower

[dull oxide]

now poe is more broken after that patch and the dark screen hasn;t been fixed

maps are even slower and mostly kicking me back to character selection and freezing my pc and making maps a no go to after completing them once

[proud igloo]

Are you talking about 3.13.1b or the just released Hotfix 1 for it?

[dull oxide]

the patch that they released im stuck in the loading screen of oriath docks

it loads from the menu to just 1 fps and is loading forever

it just freezes now when i try to log back after getting hard desycn 3 times in a row with 3 maps

[proud igloo]

Are you freezing for longer than the disconnect timer (6s?)?

Could you remind me of your system specs again?

[dull oxide]

yes i don't get sent back to the menu whenit freezes

why?

same is happening for other characters im hearing both the menu music and the ambient noise of oriath

but it doesn't show fps

does it always happen?

like they release a patch to bugs dan then gamebreaking bugs appear

[proud igloo]

Why? To help you figure what’s up and support with technically grounded guesses.

I’m hitting the sack now as this drags out, good luck.

[dull oxide]

idk what that even means

[proud igloo]

Going to bed.

[dull oxide]

is there any other mac mod active?

the ones that have the green name like yours

[proud igloo]

Note that I’m a tool dev, not a mod. I have nothing to do with GGG or any powers but a sweet green name and competence in figuring the game data files out.

[dull oxide]

even the intro of ggg noises cuts out sometimes

[sonic cedar]

hello, i just downloaded POE a few weeks ago and i created 2 characters. Only 1 character loads, but the 2nd character won't load for some reason (I try to click on the maps, inventory, etc. and it all works.). Everything works fine except I don't see my 2nd character load at all...any ideas?

[dull oxide]

i have steam enabled i meant the noise is delayed when the intro appears

[valid heath]

launch options

--nologo

[dull oxide]

the game is still bricked i can't join and it freezes on the loading screen

so oriath docks is a game breaking town

[valid heath]

to be honest with your setup you should be happy that game starts at all

imo if you rly want 2 play PoE your best bet would be installing Windows on 2nd hard drive or something and getting some uptodate drivers for that GPU

[bold plover]

cant u just run the game with steam proton?

[dull oxide]

steam what?

[dull oxide]

whats the point of being happy if the game doesn't work when i want to join a server but can only stare at the menu and character selection

[silver osprey]

fun times :,,)

[dull oxide]

does resolution factor even help on anything?

[proud igloo]

Helps a wee bit with VRAM pressure from the framebuffers, but primary value is a severe reduction in fill rate needed.

[dull oxide]

what does that mean from what you said

[dull oxide]

does that mean i should lower it to 0?

[proud igloo]

I forget what way the thing goes, but whichever direction serves as a reduction in 3D resolution increases performance.

[proper zenith]

Ya put that thing all the way to the left

[dull oxide]

now i can play but maps crash me with very low res

can't even get to the boss arena either

so low res is dangerous now

[dull oxide]

low res frequently freezes you in towns

and steam stopped responding after removing teh game again

now the servers are down when i come back

it just says operation timed out

@proud igloo something just pop up

whats the error league

I would really like to play this game on my M1 Mac.. wish the devs would update the macOS Steam build!

[proud igloo]

I would have my hopes for a Standalone installation more, as Steam to my knowledge isn't universal yet.

No idea if Valve is making any progress on that.

In any way, I'm sure there'll be a Apple Silicon client available when they have something working that's worth giving out to regular users.

The reason that the flavour of Steam matters is that programs launched from software that isn't universal will run in emulated mode as well. The Firefox folks had trouble with their auto-update as their new version would be launched as emulated x86_64 despite having arm64 code.

[fast matrix]

this should be the most recent version of PoB community for mac and linux: https://github.com/aspel/pobfrontend/releases/tag/PathOfBuilding

[hexed surge]

Can Mac play with windows

[proud igloo]

@hexed surge Yes, PC and macOS are the same realm, same accounts, same characters.

All patches come to both OSes at the exact same time.

[hexed surge]

Okay. Thank you do you think a Mac book pro could run it? What do you play on

[proud igloo]

I play on Windows, but have an ancient old MBP that won't launch the game, and a stupidly overpowered Hackintosh that can run the game.

Depends on the model of your machine, but there's probably a higher chance of enjoyment if it has a discrete graphics chip, but give it a try and see.

[hexed surge]

Okay will do

[proper zenith]

I have a 5-6 year old MBP that runs it sorta ok, it starts to shit during intense stuff like delirium or heists though

Dont expect much better than 20-30 fps lol

[dull oxide]

sirus A5 is done

[toxic iron]

also i have found that on macs, disabling dynamic resolution also helps with framerate issues

[fluid blade]

[elder mango]

I downloaded the PoB linked above but nothing happens

[supple glade]

Anyone here uses geforce now to play?

I'm facing a issue where my cursor is not visible in the game cant even login

[fast matrix]

have you tried right-click -> open? not sure whether newer macOS versions are compatible. i've only tested this is Mojave.

[stable aurora]

Ch

[elder mango]

It just starts installing another copy of that file for some reason when I right click

[dull oxide]

they haven't fixed the dark screen bug

and the crashes when you make a new character with the dark screen bug are constant

thus making a new character for a new build impossible

[vague current]

anyone here successfuly using the mac client

i run windows in boot camp but decied to try the client, it crashed after literally one minute of being in game so i assumed it was nonfunctional

[nimble gulch]

Is there any way to download the mac client currently?

[proud igloo]

On x86_64 the original Standalone patcher should still run assuming that your CPU is capable of running it, and there's always Steam.

Nothing new for the silly new Apple Silicon Macs as far as I've heard.

[vague current]

The Mac steam client is broken af. Worked for a total of thirty seconds before closing unexpectedly

[hexed mesa]

Does anyone here know if the macOS version can play with an external GPU?

[dull oxide]

clicking on the loading screen breaks the commands

when you log in and choose a character

and hours for the game to load a town is irritating

but the commands being broken they need to fix that game breaking bug

[silver osprey]

^ yup

[silver osprey]

supposed so... 😦

[valid heath]

try to disable dynamic resolution

[dull oxide]

delirium and incursion adn some syndicates raids have that so you can pretty much died to an enemy hidden cuz you can't see anything

at least sirus's arena does not have that problem for good

plus some maps have that problem as well

[dull oxide]

also that does not fix that

it still remains the same

the main menu also has the blur/dark screen bug so is annoying that you can't see the characters and nee to clik around to see which one you going for but also increases the chances of your pc getting frozen for cliking too much

[dull oxide]

ok

[normal hearth]

Would I be able to run poe on a Macbook Air 2017?

[valid heath]

Depends what you mean by "run" start the game propably yes run the game in some reasonable FPS nope

[normal hearth]

fair enough

makes sense

@valid heath thanks for the reply though, much appreciated ❤️

[knotty spoke]

Would I be able to run poe on a Macbook Air 2017?
I can't even run it properly on a macbook pro 2020

Anything I can do to improve fps, fix lag?

[vague current]

I run it through boot camp. The OS X client is terrible

[proud igloo]

Mac-specific improvements from the 3.13.1e patch notes preview, supposed to arrive next week:

Fixed a bug where you couldn't rotate while using Channelling skills if the skill was assigned to the right or middle mouse button.
Fixed a bug where Hideouts couldn't be imported or exported.
Fixed a bug where the client window buttons would no longer function after attempting to import or export a Hideout.
Fixed a client crash that could occur when resizing the client window.

[signal cloak]

hi there, sorry if i missed it im new here, but where can i download the macos version of poe?

[proud igloo]

@signal cloak For Intel-based Macs you may either download the standalone installer from the original announcement about the experimental client (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2936392), or install it via macOS Steam.
For Apple Silicon (M1) Macs, there is currently no native Path of Exile client as GGG are still porting it to the platform and Apple's emulation of x64 executables is not capable of handling PoE's instruction use.
If you're on a M1, some people report some success using the Windows client via Crossover, but I cannot attest to that.

[signal cloak]

tysm @proud igloo i’ll be sure to try it out!!

[boreal delta]

this is what my game looks like

[proud igloo]

Of the "dark and gritty", your machine sure nails the dark 🙂

I'm not sure how well reported this bug has been on the forums and to tech support, but it's been seen in here a few times.

[vagrant canyon]

Nvm

Found it

[dull oxide]

@proud igloo i finally made a tanky build with some help of tft people

althought one of them got pissed about how other people were changing his ideas and gear he suggested before

and then another said too many people were suggesting many gears over others

[dull oxide]

that has always been in the game and people thought their files were corrupted

it affects delirium incursion and some syndicates raids badly

plus some maps like coves

[silver osprey]

it's for all maps for me :,,)

[dull oxide]

well it only affects some maps but not all

[dull oxide]

just hope it doesn't affect sirus's arena

[silver osprey]

you’re lucky, i’ve got it literally on all maps .. 😦

[dull oxide]

well thats the worse thing unless you have a minion build to not be attacked by a hidden enemy

[silver osprey]

I gave up playing on mac until they have fixed it ....

But yeah could’ve gone with my minions lol

[dull oxide]

ok

[somber zealot]

so... still no escape key, or is that just me?

[boreal delta]

guys how do i open path of buillding community on mac

[proud igloo]

There's a bunch of attempts to run it on macOS. Some use Wine, some seems to have some sort of custom frontend.

Some of them are in channel pins, not sure how well they work currently.

[boreal delta]

is there no easy way.. all i want to do is check out this beginner build's skill tree 😦

[proud igloo]

It's a bit tricky as PoB is a very Windows:y program to begin with, and work on cross-platform implementations is trickling.

pob.party used to be a nice browser implementation, but doesn't seem to do imports well at all.

[boreal delta]

https://tenor.com/view/im-sorry-bow-puppy-eyes-apologize-gif-8326897

[valid heath]

i think one of the comments there has even easier solution for this

POB For Mac: https://github.com/aspel/pobfrontend/releases/

[proud igloo]

That one may not quite work with recent changes to how things are launched in PoB, haven’t looked closely at it yet.

[dull oxide]

the loading bugged out

is just the 2 gears and a black screen and the menu never appears

[magic iris]

Yeah there was a recent change in PoB where they take command line arguments, which was originally unimplemented in pobfrontend. I added support last week so when aspel merges it should work again. AFAIK PoB are shortly going to introduce some further breaking changes to the source tree layout, though, so it might break again then. 🙂

[wary oyster]

hey i cant get into full screen on macOS

anyone know how to enable full screen mode

it's just opening up in a tiny window.

[proud igloo]

I forget if it's there, but I think the maximize button puts it fullscreen on another desktop, as is customary on the platform.

[wary oyster]

figured it out

runs terribly on a 2019 macbook pro

uninstalled

[proud igloo]

Note that there's a resolution scaling slider to cut it down to a more reasonable resolution, but if you're on integrated graphics, it's probably not going to run well in the first place.

Got no idea what SKUs there are for that vintage, as there's a whole bunch.

Vega 16 or 20 if you're going high-end, I guess.

[neat hornet]

anybody got this error ? i just update to bigsur and install, after update and run i got this error

[stable aurora]

How is it? Playing on mac...

[vague current]

Awful

[proud igloo]

Two aspects to it really. Most macs are a bit potato when it comes to hardware, and the client in general has some rough edges.

Ran OK as far as I could tell on my Hackintosh, but that's stupidly overpowered compared to most actual macs.

Client is still "experimental", so set expectations accordingly.

[vague current]

Poe runs fine on boot camp on my laptop and awful in OS X

[silver osprey]

Yeah bootcamp runs fine, osx it self ... that client is just one disaster sadly.

[dull oxide]

now the potato part kinda true when desynch is constant and sometimes rare but mostly more constant on a syndicate mission

intervention might be a 100% full desych back to menu

[somber zealot]

bug triage must be prioritizing more complicated internal problems over critical usability defects. Things like the cursor image or the escape key, presumably aren't interfering with testing other systems... i.e. it's very much a development build and not a "beta" intended for public testing... as if they were behind schedule and resolved to release whatever they had, even if it's virtually unusable.

I'm wondering if M1 has upended things, or if they're considering the viability of combining the iOS effort, considering that Xcode has a "actually, be a Mac App" checkbox for iOS projects

But GGG are phantasms, with volitions inscrutable, so I shouldn't speculate as much.

[proud igloo]

Indeed.

[proud igloo]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/m80f5l/macbook_air_m1/grf23s0/?context=3

[dull oxide]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccfO1FU428c im sure this won't work with my mac

[final ginkgo]

are there any trade macros available for mac os without using wine?

[dawn light]

Hi, I'm new to POE (since I downloaded it today), and this is all I see on my screen every time I start the game. I am still at the very beginning. I have seen in earlier discussions that other people also have this problem but I haven't seen a solution yet. I am on Macbook Pro, I have Catalina 10.15 and I have the rest of my specs above the recommended. I really want to try the game out cause I really love Diablo like games. Any help is appreciated.

[dull oxide]

now thats the same blur mac players suffer from twilight strand to act 1 to maps at least some maps

[valid heath]

For now ruining game from Windows(bootcamp?) is the best fix but if you dont have dGPU in that mac dont expect much

[dawn light]

thanks for reaching out then

[vocal kiln]

is there any Path of Building for Mac?

[valid heath]

or https://github.com/aspel/pobfrontend/releases/tag/PathOfBuilding

[vocal kiln]

I tried the other one, but it doesn't start for me :/

[proud igloo]

I believe there might be some trouble with the current attempts at a portable PoB after the recent revamps of how upstream PoB launches.

Haven't tried myself as I've misplaced my Big Sur HDD 😄

Label your disks, people ^_^

[unborn whale]

Oh no! Really? I saw on Reddit bex saying m1 mac support coming in "pre-3.14" patch.. but if the client is a disaster anyway maybe I shouldn't be so excited...

[silver osprey]

It's just ... black blurry screen while it's not like that on bootcamp, so can't be the specs then 🙂

But just wait and see 🙂

[proud igloo]

What you're seeing is part of one of the renderpasses (bloom, whatever) that normally is composited with the rest of the targets that make up the regular game view. Something's fucky with how the Vulkan renderer maps onto your hardware and Metal. I don't recall if reports on it has been made and whether there's been any response on it.

[somber zealot]

Anybody know if they're using MoltenVK or something?

[proud igloo]

@somber zealot Fairly certain it's the case, considering that the game assets are identical to the PC release.

[silver osprey]

reports have been made, i made a report myself. but never got a reply back or anything. that’s why i came here.

[vague current]

use boot camp

[dawn light]

what's boot camp?

[silver osprey]

boot camp is basically a dual boot with windows installed on your mac. so you can boot up with mac or windows

[frosty pagoda]

https://support.apple.com/boot-camp

PoE runs fine on BootCamp for me. The Mac gets unusually hot and the fan spins up. But this is normal for certain "MacBookPro "s as soon as they are allowed to perform :-). And BootCamp is really easy to set up 😄

[dawn light]

alright cool I'll see what i can do @frosty pagoda

[signal cloak]

is fps a problem when using bootcamp for poe?

[proud igloo]

It's regular Windows on the hardware that your Mac happens to have, not sure if the driver situation is good but it's about the same as a PC with the same specs.

[proud igloo]

Upcoming 3.13.2 patch notes preview has this among other notes:

Owners of M1 Macs can now play Path of Exile through Rosetta, with minimal impact on performance. A native version will be available in a future update.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3076718

[proper zenith]

Wonder if this patch will have much of an effect on non-m1 macs

[valid heath]

Various renderer systems have been made roughly 15-20% faster, which doesn't necessarily translate to a performance improvement for all users but anecdotally it seems like it's around 5% faster on average for us.

• Texture Streaming improvements

[minor marlin]

Heck ye I can chuck my windows laptop now

[uncut knoll]

where i can download mac client?

[proud igloo]

@uncut knoll The beta installer is since a while available at https://www.pathofexile.com/download
It is also available on Steam. If you're on an Apple Silicon-based Mac (M1, etc.) these are still Intel-based executables and will run translated via Rosetta 2.

[uncut knoll]

Thank you!

[little fiber]

Can anyone give me an idea of how POE runs on a Macbook Pro?
Or is it better to bootcamp it instead of run it on native?

[valid heath]

It all depends on the hardware inside if that Macbook does not have dGPU and good CPU then performance gonna be bad

[little fiber]

I am guessing this will be good enough

[unborn copper]

it is somewhat good enough

damn i cannot make out a sentence

you'll be able to play poe just fine

but you might have lower fps for certain things nonetheless

[valid heath]

I would say that Minimal spec to play PoE atm

[little fiber]

story of my life haha -- I just roll my face on the keyboard and hope for the best

[unborn copper]

i play poe on potato pc pretty much

[little fiber]

Low settings it is -- just wish I had my gaming PC with me 😦

But alas I am stuck working abroad at the moment

[unborn copper]

1080p is doable unless it is conquerors influ with packs and lots of density, harbingers or 100% delirious

downgrading to 720p the game is infinitely smoother on my end

[little fiber]

I am happy to play on potato settings - I just want to play

Havent played in a couple yars

[valid heath]

Then thats totally doable

[unborn copper]

well you'll have a great experience i guess

outside of the game learning curve

[valid heath]

Good you have dGPU that will help a lot

but Mac are not knows for good cooling system so

[unborn copper]

good cpu will help a ton on bigger maps too

true

[little fiber]

My old Elementalist build makes me happy I got as far as I did -- the TC was bananas to get it. But I feel like it is definitely time for a new build.

[unborn copper]

running a pentium dual core and a rx 460 2 GB, man i got pleased how well the game runs on this potato

but then there are things that don't make sense either but welp

[little fiber]

Haha nice -- havent seen a dual core in eons

[unborn copper]

it's like 4 years old i think

struggles with harbingers but that's like a common thing, it's so badly coded

outside of this, 100% delirious is the worse it gets

20 fps average in fight, some highs at 50

everything low, no sounds and 720p on vulkan

[vague current]

for me boot camp runs the game just fine but in OSX it crashes within 10 seconds of loading into oriath every time i try

[proud igloo]

Assuming drivers in Boot camp land are better than they were last I touched it in the dark ages, Windows is probably the superior place to play if you can spare the space and effort for the dual boot.

[marble stone]

its just all map mobs concentrated on one small space, not surprising it tanks performance

[proud igloo]

Ah yes, if only people could code less badly.

GGG devs are gosh-darn wizards at making something so dense and dynamic as PoE run so well on such a variety of situations.

[unborn copper]

harbinger is poor density, there are more often situations with multiple times density of harbingers and no lag

[marble stone]

Harbinger in valdos is easily 700-800 mobs densely packed what other situation has multiple times that

[proud igloo]

It has both a lot of overlapping auras and a lot of overlapping blended visuals.

And unlike whatever super-juiced content particular peeps may be running, Valdo harbies are probably quite commonly encountered among regular players as well.

[unborn copper]

there is 100 mobs at best because there is something called you kill mobs and not watch them

moreover harbingers is a lag fest the second you proc them, so no mob at all whatsoever

just the visuals overlapping and poor optimisation into it

[proud igloo]

For the name of all that is unholy, just stop it with the "poor optimization" "badly coded" talk. Take it to whatever echo chambers you normally frequent because it has no place in civilized spaces.

You know nothing about actually making a game and such gamer rhetoric serves no purpose but to sound smart and punch down on developers.

[unborn copper]

? u sure u good bud ?

[valid heath]

He is, PoE runs amazing for the amount of stuff it puts on screen with all the interactions taking place as well

I just wish I could reEnable Texture streaming from lunch of 3.13 as that worked great for me and made zones load in seconds

[proud igloo]

I'm looking forward to 3.13.2's improvements, hopefully they can resolve the critical problem that was found.

The tech patch in September and the texture streaming patch early this league put in a ton of fundamental work for better asset streaming.

[proper zenith]

Interested to hear how it runs on m1, i'm considering getting a new MBP

[unborn whale]

doesnt look like its patched on steam yet

[unborn whale]

patching on steam now... @proper zenith

@proper zenith i'm in a 30 person zoom session, chrome, safari all open.. settings are on defaults (which looks like a mixture of low to high) .. running around the coast (newbie area) i'm getting 118-120fps, i was playing windowed mode using a belkin dock hooked up to a 3440x1440 monitor using about 1/3 the screen realestate

m1 macbook pro 16gb / 1tb

keep in mind, this is the newbie area and i dont have any skillgems etc i didnt play this league so i cant test a high-effect scenario... also, i dont see any way to run fullscreen or set a resolution in-game

[proud igloo]

Fullscreen I believe should be with the usual keys/button to maximize a program by platform conventions. Resolution is native but there's a slider for resolution scaling for when you want to render internally at a lower res.

[proper zenith]

Damn that sounds good, yea there should be a "dynamic resolution" slider or something, also you cant really play in fullscreen without rebinding ESC

Curious to see how endgame and mapping is for others, and yea all g i dont expect you to level a whole character just to test it lol. i imagine its a lot better judging by how much better twilight strand is (with other programs open even) than on my 2015 mbp 😛

Tyvm for checking it out, helps a lot 👍

[unborn whale]

ok zooms over, let me try 3440x1440 ;p

cranked up some settings, fullscreen 3440x1440 not doing anything 80fps

looks like the "resolution factor" is the big culprit on performance vs visual quality... it defaults to off, and i have some jagged edges but 120fps.. if i turn it on, and crank it up, 80fps no jaggeds

(again, this is 3440x1440......)

[proud igloo]

I don't remember which way the slider goes, but it renders the game 3D internally at a fraction of the full resolution similar to how you have dynamic resolution on PC to sustain framerate when things end up heavy, while UI is kept crisp.

[unborn whale]

i think the take home is that it easily runs well enough to play, assuming it all doesnt fall apart when you're in maps with a million effects... i didnt notice drops in areas with some basic fire and explosions

makes me sad that dota doesnt run better, tbh lol

[chilly anvil]

80 fps, on a laptop using integrated graphics to drive a ~4K display, is crazypants. I would never have expected it to run that well

Oh, and for the cherry on top... the game is still running under emulation

[unborn whale]

Yea, the m1s really are a game changer.. I've tried to explain to people how different it is.. battery lasting so long.. So little heat generation... reasonable gfx performance...

[proper zenith]

Wow yeah thats really impressive, tho ofc im used to getting a nice stable 15 fps just sitting in my hideout lol

[valid heath]

Well the screen is empty, still tho impressive for a mobile chip

[proper zenith]

Im getting a lot of invisible textures, map device not loading, etc, im guessing thats from the shader cache or whatever being cleared?

[valid heath]

prty much, they should pop in once they get cached, the thing is atm Shader and Minimap cache is cleared every restart

Funny enough it didnt clear my Vulkan Shader Cache on windows ;o

[proud igloo]

@valid heath It shouldn't remove everything, patch notes says:

Added automation to remove old minimap and shader data. This process occurs during the Grinding Gear Games logo video upon launch and may take some time. Old minimap and shader data will typically be cleared once per league in the future.

[valid heath]

?

[proud igloo]

Just the occasional culling every now and then when GGG feels it's time.

[valid heath]

if you say so

i assumed OLD means everything before any tech/engine patch

[proud igloo]

Depends a bit on what they consider old. For shaders it caches all the resulting shaders from material combinations and when a combination goes out of use due to changes in the materials or renderer, the old shaders still linger and make file lookup slow.

Similarly there's a lot of cached minimap tiles that can build up over time, but that I don't know the format of so I can't elaborate more.

"once per league" sounds like a good time to purge old stuff as that's typically when big changes happen.

[valid heath]

well it looked before like any drived update would invalidate old shaders anyway

[valid heath]

yeah thats what I did manually before any league start or rendering engine update

[proud igloo]

There's two types of shader caches, one for the shader bytecode which is device/driver independent, and program/pipeline binary caches, which are super tied to the driver.

The cost with the former is the game having to sift around the materials and glue little text fragments together, while for the latter it's the result of the GPU driver compiling the former into whatever the GPU actually wants.

[dull oxide]

so i can see now i blurred maps at the cost of desynch in the middle of blight maps making it impossible to complete at the start

[minor marlin]

Working good for me on M1 wooo

[proper zenith]

@minor marlin are you on a laptop? How's it running

[minor marlin]

Yeah I'm on a m1 mba 8 core cpu and gpu and 16 gigs.

Runs pretty well, need to check the framerate and thermals once. Yeah gets a bit hot.

Only thing I've noticed so far is the map edges do not render at the start but when I step on the tiles they render pretty fast. LMK if you need more info

[proper zenith]

Dope! Have you ran much endgame map stuff? Also what settings/resolution are you on

[minor marlin]

The latest map I ran was around a t10 I think

Playing on. default settings, can give an ini screenshot if needed

[proper zenith]

Thats awesome, dont worry about a screenshot you're good

V exciting, i was planning on getting the next release mb pro so its great to hear that they're actually capable of running this game lol

[minor marlin]

Yeah! Still keeping an eye on thermals tho, tends to heat up + aluminium body as well so you can feel the laptop heating

But I might tinker with the settings and check it out

[proper zenith]

Yea the heat is one of my worries, although i heard they were trying to develop a better heat transfer system or something inside so hopefully its not a huge thing

[minor marlin]

Plus if you're getting a mb pro I think you should be good

[proper zenith]

Ya heres hoping lol. Ty btw big help

[minor marlin]

np

[hallow crypt]

I’m on m1 mbp 16gb unified. Only thing I do differently than on Pc is wait a few seconds on entering a new area. Nearly got got by some invisible (see: not rendered out) enemies before changing my behavior. Into red maps, haven’t tested delirium at all yet. Good to have for on the go but if I’m home, probably sticking it out with the Pc

[unreal garnet]

omg

[mighty brook]

Is it M1 native or re you running in emulation?

[minor marlin]

@mighty brook I believe currently running on Rosetta, they're working on a native version according to patch notes

[proud igloo]

A patch the other week stripped out all the AVX/AVX2 uses in PoE to enable the x86_64 build to run translated via Rosetta 2.

As rubberduck says, a native version is WIP as that is not as "easy".

It's going to be interesting to see how they are going to approach Steam, as last I heard from someone versed in macOS development, the platform gets a bit cranky when a launching program (in this case Steam) runs emulated.

(in this case Firefox, where the new fat build updated from a previously x86_64 Firefox would keep running emulated until freshly started from the OS)

[proud igloo]

It's a known issue, I believe you can rebind it to some other key to keep using the in-game functionality it has.

[stable aurora]

sry can someone explain me what is different on this version to the previous one?

i played poe for years without pob on xbox and mac and this is all new for me 😄 a whole new game tbh

[proper zenith]

Its just an update of PoB for all the skill tree/item/gem changes for the new league

[valid prairie]

How do I run PoE on a mac?
I have a Macbook pro with M1 processor

[minor marlin]

I'm running it via steam there's a link somewhere on the POE website for the dmg download I believe

[proud igloo]

You can either download it via Steam or by downloading the Standalone installer from the website, but I don't know if that's fully cleansed of silly instructions yet.

[valid prairie]

The standalone doesn't work for me

ill try steam

ty

[proud igloo]

It will in either case run emulated with Rosetta 2 until they make a native Apple Silicon build of it.

[valid prairie]

Good to know, ty

[forest burrow]

server rip?

[proud igloo]

Everything should be running smoothly now, as per Chris post.

[elder mango]

thank you, thank you, thank you. you don't understand how hard it is to understand builds without a PoB. OMG Thank you

[elder mango]

oof im not getting the notes

[stable aurora]

hey guys

im having trouble downloading the game...

is there a link for a mac client?

the "download now" button on the website doesnt work

oh the pins!

how is your experience so far guys, is it playable on mac?

[minor marlin]

Yeah playable on M1 MBA 16 gigs

pretty good

[proud igloo]

@outer ingot At what stage, running the patcher, starting the game client, in-game?

Also, what kind of Mac hardware do you have?

[proud igloo]

A bit short on video memory, but shouldn't be too shoddy. Not sure if the error reports you submit will reach GGG, but probably send those.
Might help to make a bug report as well.

[keen ingot]

are there any videos of the m1 doing actual content?

i had a quick google and all i can find is people running around a1

[sweet jungle]

Hey guys

Anyone playing on MacBook Air

Keen to hear thoughts.

And I do know mac isn't for gaming and bla bla bla.

and why there is no MACOS?

[proud igloo]

@sweet jungle https://www.pathofexile.com/download

It's also available on Steam.

[sweet jungle]

but I would prefer to have a client directly from official source rather than third party.

[proud igloo]

Oh, might have to be logged into the website for it I guess.

[sweet jungle]

but seems like its not possible even tho the game is officially made for macos.

[proud igloo]

The client is still a bit experimental/beta so they may not want to link it directly, implying it's fully featured.

[sweet jungle]

will try now

[proud igloo]

There's resources in the pins here too, I believe.

[sweet jungle]

how about my specs? any idea/

yeah you were right I have to be logged in to see the options.

[proud igloo]

Probably going to run a bit bleh, but depends on your demands and tolerances.

[sweet jungle]

I mean for sure not a high resolution and etc 😄

I cleary understand that.

If it would perform then its ok

[fast matrix]

I have not tried it myself, but it appears an installer is available under https://www.pathofexile.com/downloads/PathOfExile-Installer.dmg

[sweet jungle]

Thanks - I have downloaded already.

But idk when I first played on my mac (on win10 via bootcamp) it was much much better performance. But now on macos I am even thinking of deleting this game 😦

[stable aurora]

is it easy to explain how to update POB on myself on Mac? I am a bit lost but i need new Gems 😄

[fast matrix]

see my comment on https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/msh8fi/path_of_building_community_v221_314_skill_gems/gutijql/?context=3 newest pobfrontend should include latest gem changes 👍

[sweet jungle]

Guys If I will get win10 through bootcamp and install poe on win10 - will it get better performance?

[proud igloo]

Depends a bit on how the Windows drivers for the onboard GPU is in Bootcamp, but probably.

[sweet jungle]

ok

ty

[wicked snow]

i guess it will get performance boost because on linux with same machine(hackintosh) it is performing better than windows

[silver osprey]

I'm using GeForce Now to play POE and it works brilliantly.
Free version is an hour per session but fine for now.

Sick and tired of waiting for a fix

[proud igloo]

When the PoE urges creep up, everything's fair game 😄

[valid heath]

Can I ask what performance you are expecting from that little 2 core MacBock with out any cooling ?

[proud igloo]

On performance, I actually ran a map on my Hackintosh today, surprisingly smooth.

i7 8700K, AMD Radeon RX 5700XT, lousy HP Midline 2TB spinning rust HDD; sustained 1920x1200 @ 60 FPS without any hiccups in an alch-n-go:d white map running BF/BB.

Primary annoyances was things I'm used to from my Windows machine like not being able to bind the key left of 1 to Flame Dash; not having my usual filter copied over, and the even-smaller-than-Windows mouse cursor that made it incredibly easy to lose it in the explosions.

(on Windows I run YoloMouse to replace it with a humongous XOR-coloured arrow as stock cursor is hard to follow)

The muscle memory pressing of Esc also bit me a few times but I could complete the map without deaths at least 😄

[valid heath]

Well atm I am struggling with performance on my 7700k @4.7 with RTX 2070S and M2 SSD, as influence packs spawning pin my CPU to 100% for a sec W10 ofc

[mental token]

For anyone on an old MacbookPro who was having the PoE installer crash due to not being compatible, the incompatible code was stripped out to make the game work on the new chipset M1s, it would seem, and now I can install PoE on my 2012 MBP! Downloading the 30GB install files right now. I'll report back on performance. Yes, it's a 2012 model, but it's the 2.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1 GB gfx card. It used to run wineskin PoE just fine before that project was scrapped. Again, I'll report back.

[proud igloo]

@mental token With the standalone installer or via Steam? Nice to hear that they all seem good now if so.

[mental token]

the standalone that bernhardfritz linked above

[mental token]

Reporting back! So I just played through killing Hillock, so not anything too taxing graphically. It was very smooth. I don't remember the terminal command to show FPS, but this was better than wineskin ever was. That said, there was a lot of visible draw-in of terrain and creatures (they show up as big sold color blocks for a few seconds, and then the textures appear on them). Lioneye's watch was very bad at first, but it all calmed down after a few seconds. I think for casual play this is going to be very viable on my ancient rig 🙂

[valid heath]

F1

[mental token]

Thanks!

Okay, so 17 FPS in lioneye's watch and 25 FPS (peaked at 27) playing along the shore. Characters on screen didn't seem to affect FPS at all, but there were dips when the water loaded in. I also died instantly starting a trial before any of the enemies appeared, though there was no FPS dip so ???

[valid heath]

Have you turned down everything 2 Low ?

[mental token]

No, this was all defaults.

I didn't touch the options

[mental token]

Turning down the settings from default doesn’t seem to have changed anything.

Performance-wise, I mean. The game looks a lot worse.

[valid heath]

Well that would mean you are CPU limited more than GPU limited, as for invisible mobs your PC just didnt compile shaders on time so next time you see those mobs they should be there.

[proud igloo]

I'm not certain that it's just material loading and compilation that's a bottleneck for fully missing assets, could be the actual fixed/skinned mesh that's not resident yet either. I'm sure GGG knows 🙂

[chilly anvil]

Dumb question: did that machine come with an SSD, or have you installed one? Performance on machines with mechanical hard drives has always been poor

[mental token]

I do not have an ssd on that machine. Standard internal hard drive.

[chilly anvil]

That'd explain your issues, then.

[sweet jungle]

🤣 🤭

[valid heath]

?

[round hazel]

Will poe go ok on macbook air m1?

[valid heath]

Ppl are reporting that its working quite well

[round hazel]

Ок

[minor marlin]

Yeah works well for me

[round hazel]

Ок

[valid heath]

One thing with Macbook air M1 if you are brave enough and dont care about warranty you could install thermal pads coming of CPU to bottom aluminium panel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghDvyItIHTY

[silver osprey]

Turn it down to low and you should be good. I have the same MBP.

[mental token]

Thanks!

[round mesa]

Just noticed this channel existed. Is there an apple version of PoE?

Or are you guys using a portal

[proud igloo]

@round mesa Yep.

[round mesa]

Yep to the portal thing?

[proud igloo]

Nah.

[round mesa]

Or to the apple version?

[proud igloo]

There's an experimental version for macOS since late 2020, running on the PC realms and updating at the same pace as the Windows version does.

It's available through either Steam or a Standalone installer, much like on Windows.

It runs on both x86_64-based machines and Apple Silicon (M1) via Rosetta 2 translation.

There's some info in the channel pins.

[round mesa]

Nice! Is it optimized? Or do I need high specs to run smooth?

Ok

[proud igloo]

Many Macs tend to be a bit underspecced, especially laptops, but it runs the Vulkan renderer on top of Apple's Metal.

As for performance compared to running Windows on the same hardware via Bootcamp, not really sure if there's much data on that.

[round mesa]

Ok

[proud igloo]

I'd say that if you had a choice in what kind of machine to play PoE on, a Mac would probably not be my first choice; but if all you have is a Mac it's way better than nothing 😄

For nothing else, the relative maturity of the client from being newer and less tested in the smaller playerbase.

[proper zenith]

Just noticed that hitting esc doesn't exit fullscreen mode anymore, i assume that was hidden in this patch

[stable aurora]

guys how do you update the client on mac?

im completely new to the game

im confused, is there an update option somewhere?

[proud igloo]

The standalone client auto-updates when starting. Steam updates like Steam normally does.

You cannot get into the client without it having updated itself, it's fully automagic.

[stable aurora]

im tryna login but it says to update and relog

[proud igloo]

What version does it say it is in the lower right corner?

[stable aurora]

3.14.oc

[proud igloo]

Current version should be 3.14.1, so that's odd.

[stable aurora]

hmmmm

should i just uninstall and reinstall the game

[proud igloo]

Gah, I don't have any Mac available currently to check anything, but it's possible that the patch has not been made available if your updater is working as it should.

[stable aurora]

hmmm imma try to find a link to download the game again

i prolly fked up something

[proud igloo]

If you have a Client.txt file, does it mention version 3.14.1.1 anywhere?

[stable aurora]

hmm idk, i deleted the game haha

[proud igloo]

There's two places where your PoE installation goes, the initial launcher in /Applications and the bulk of the game in ~/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile.

[stable aurora]

im downloading agian

it seems like its doing its job well so far

lets hope this fixes it

IT WORKED!

https://tenor.com/view/stone-cold-steve-austin-wwe-pumped-hell-yeah-gif-12325054

[dull oxide]

the servers's internet is horrible

[proud igloo]

Booted my "Mac" with onboard Coffee Lake Intel instead of the AMD card. Getting highs of 18 FPS in my hideout at 4k res, scaling doesn't help 😄

[carmine shell]

where chat log located on mac?

[proud igloo]

It may be somewhere under ~/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile.

[proud igloo]

~/Library/Caches/com.GGG.PathOfExile/Logs/Client.txt

(had to boot the "mac" again, had just turned it off 😄 )

[feral ice]

is there any way to manually change the resolution poe runs on through the game's settings?

[proud igloo]

The Dynamic Resolution slider in Options -> Graphics adjusts how much smaller the internal render resolution is vs. your native resolution.

[feral ice]

ah ok that works, would be nice to have something like the windows drop-down menu for resolutions.

thanks for the help nonetheless

[proud igloo]

I believe the external resolution is restricted by what the display is configured as by the OS, but I guess you mean that it'd be a bit more obvious what the actual 3D resolution becomes?

I hear they take feedback on the forums 🙂

[feral ice]

I saw a thread discussing the resolution drop down menu possibility on the forums, so fingers crossed the devs consider it at some point

[mint crow]

I saw in the Forum that there are/were a few people having the issue that ingame areas like caves and tunnel are completely black when playing on mac

anyone else having this issue?

[proud igloo]

The patch notes preview for the upcoming 3.14.1c patch has this Mac-specific improvement:

Increased the size of the in-game cursor.

Needed a magnifying glass in 4K before, that's for sure 😄

[spiral python]

Since latest patch, my M1 MBA went from 40-55 fps on low settings to 15-20. Most of the textures are just fucked. Large squares of terrain are black, or flickering at all times. None of the settings seems to rectify it.

[dull oxide]

@proud igloo is it normally 3 of 1 kind of spectre or 3 of any mix of spectre?

like 2 range and 1 melee/ 2 melee and 1 ranged/ 1 buffer and 1 of melee and 1 of ranged /2buffers and 1 of melee or ranged?

[proud igloo]

I'd recommend asking the question in a question channel and to someone that knows jack about spectres 😄

[dull oxide]

but you play the game right?

[proud igloo]

I run other people's builds and write tools 😛

[dull oxide]

like you test them in pob?

[proud igloo]

I play them in-game and work on a variety of tools, including PoB.

[dull oxide]

so can you try my build?

and kinda like tweak it?

[stable aurora]

guys do you have any guide recommendations for graphic settings on mac??

[valid heath]

Settings depend on the hardware you have

[stable aurora]

hmmmm

let me see

should i just copy paste?

[valid heath]

Yeah

[stable aurora]

MacBook pro 15 inch, 2016
Processor 2.6 GHz Quad-core Intel core i7
Memory 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 530 1536 MB

thats what it says

[valid heath]

So as low as you can go then

Your mac has no Dedicated GPU

[stable aurora]

Damn then i cant play Sadge

everything's low but i have 15 fps

rip

[valid heath]

Try lowering the resolution as well

[stable aurora]

it's at the lowest

:c

crazy how i can play wow with good graphic settings

but not PoE at all

[valid heath]

WoW is 15year old game

with not much upgrade in graphics

[stable aurora]

not the most recent one with updated graphics

[valid heath]

over the years to its easy 2 run

[stable aurora]

isnt PoE old too ?

[valid heath]

PoE gets engine updates, graphics updates higher quality textures and assets almost every new League

[stable aurora]

is there anything i can do besides "getting a good pc"

i have 0 knowledge in PCs so idk what to do

[valid heath]

You could try checking for some external GPU via Thunderbolt but make sure that Mac supports it first

But yeah Games need hardware 2 run

no software magic can jump over that even Apple

[stable aurora]

ofc

ok

thanks

[valid heath]

Oh and make sure your are not overheating as that tanks performance to zero

[proud igloo]

Story seems to reflect the perf of my Hackintosh which currently only has integrated UHD Graphics 630. It's rofltastic and needs everything in potatovision to have like 20 fps.

[proper zenith]

I have both dynamic culling and dynamic resolution both checked, with the resolution slider all the way to the left

Best i can get is 30 fps with minimal action on screen, average about 20 actually running maps, and around 10 when insane shit like harbingers or conqueror mobs spawn

Almost the same specs as you, slightly worse CPU

[dull oxide]

@proud igloo have i told you i beaten elder before?

[dull oxide]

[dull oxide]

i have the chest now

[dull oxide]

@proud igloo the private league is doing perfect

well at least at the start of act 5 to act 8 has been good with sustainibility and getting chaos

and full res cap

[dull oxide]

anyone has trouble with the very very long loading screens?

[proud igloo]

Not more than usual, it's been worse on Windows for a league or two for me.

[dull oxide]

well i cna't play on the native mac with very long screens but i been able to play with geforce with the only trade off being not longer able to trade

althought i did make some tradings before i wasn't able to play anymore

also i finally found the answer to that 1 time i asked what happened to all the templars in act 5 after beating innocence and instead of being reanimated with horns instead they all now changed their belief for kitava "Under the influence of Kitava, Templars in Oriath are turned into to mad and cultist versions."

[finite sleet]

u can still use the trade in geforce now. First, click the buy point, it will pop a chrome window, then you can click the trade do whatever you want

[lapis thistle]

kinda slow speed cpu for a macbook (3ghz or more i feel good)

[graceful basin]

how do i fix textures constant flickering

[thorn meadow]

I am looking forward to a new mac mini with the M1X/M2 with more GPU cores. And esp. when PoE is built native for M1. That will be sooooo sweet. 🙂

[odd surge]

Does poe just crash randomly for people when they are in a party in the middle of an ultimatium?

[magic summit]

not sure if you re asking a question or stating a fact @odd surge

[proud igloo]

Party play in general is taxing on any computer or OS, ultimatums even more so.

[split hull]

how do i find other people to play with im in act 6

[proud igloo]

You may find more assistance with that in the questions channels, the macOS client plays with regular PC people.

[lyric coyote]

is it possible to put up items on poe.trade on macos?

[proud igloo]

In a way other than how the premium stash tabs made public are auto-listed?

I guess that you're referring to how you can have tools manage indexed forum threads or something? No idea if any of those work on the platform.

[bold plover]

u can manually post on the forums

if acquisition or w/e doesnt work on mac

[lime zephyr]

Hey guys, I've just started playing on my mac m1, can anyone tell me where is the trade market button? I used to play on ps4 before and there was a Trade Market board at the first waypoint but I'm not finding it on mac version and also not on menu either!

[proud igloo]

The trade board you're used to is a console-only thing. On PC (and thus mac) there's an official trade site on which you may search for items with way more granularity than on the PS4.

When you find an item you want, you copy a pre-filled whisper message from the trade site and paste it into the chat window of the game client, asking a player if you may buy their thing.
If they invite you to a party, you may teleport over to their hideout, they open a trade, you put in the currency and verify that the item is the one you want, and accept, responding "ty" if you're polite 🙂

Trade site is at https://www.pathofexile.com/trade

You may list items for trade if you have premium stash tabs made public, setting prices by rightclicking on items in the tabs, or setting a common price for the whole tab.
There's also a forum for manual listings that drives the trade site if you don't have the tabs.

[lime zephyr]

@proud igloo Thank you so much for the clarification. Looks like trading is a bit more complex on pc/mac version than console, will take some getting used to!

[stable aurora]

Hey guys, does anybody know if PoE runs well on M1 chip (MB air 2020)? Is the game playable?

[proud igloo]

There has been some experiences shared in the past I think, channel search might get you something.

It should be able to launch these days at least after the instruction set fixes.

[left tusk]

It works, as in it boots, campaign is survivable (until nerf league lmao) but mapping + is not great performance wise, even bootcamp was better for me, and unrivalled on PC unfortunately

[chilly anvil]

if your machine can run Boot Camp, it isn't a M1 system

[left tusk]

I have an M1, and a 2019 MBP.

[stable aurora]

@stable aurora I've been running it on my MBP 16BG M1 and have had no issues. The fan doesn't even come on after hours of play. Everything is smooth except for a bit of stuttering when entering a new area.

[lime zephyr]

I've been playing on my MBP 8GB M1 for last 2 weeks and it's running smooth like butter, for full disclosure I've set all the possible settings in graphic section to low or medium.

Also got myself a wired mouse to make sure wireless mouse do not screw me over on a intense fight lol

[lime zephyr]

True that, apple hasn't updated bootcamp for m1 yet.

[proud igloo]

I wonder if they ever could, would be quite some work with MS needed to run on the Apple Silicon flavour of ARM64.

Linux peeps had to do a fair bit of wrangling and reverse engineering to get going on the M1.

[chilly anvil]

ARM Windows runs flawlessly in Parallels, actually. But it doesn't run on bare metal, and I have my doubts that either Apple or Microsoft would be willing to put in the effort to make that happen

In a lot of ways, virtualizing it is the better solution anyway 🙂

[proud igloo]

Yeah, that's the thing, a VM has nice and comfy isolation from the horrors of bring-up and drivers.

Not getting much in the way of graphics virtualized, of course.

[chilly anvil]

Current versions of Parallels have full DX11 support. I don't know about PoE but a lot of games run fine in that environment, even with the slower Windows x86 translation

[proud igloo]

That's neat, so used to relative clownware like VirtualBox whose 2D and 3D bits are still extremely wobbly.

[chilly anvil]

ARM Windows has x86 emulation. Parallels on M1 will run either edition of Windows

[modern void]

Wonder if apple gonna update boot camp on M1 macs

[river drum]

On what type of content by curiosity?

[solar kayak]

has anyone successfully run poe on an m1 macbook pro?

i tried running it but got crazy cpu lag, was basically unplayable no matter how low settings i set

[proud igloo]

Supposedly playable, if you squint at channel history.

[solar kayak]

😦

i was hoping to play on league launch but ill just wait for my 5950x to get here next week and play pc

[normal hearth]

Macbook air 2017 user here, does anyone think I could manage to run poe on it? Or has anyone?

[proud igloo]

In general, the integrated GPU and limited thermal capacity of Airs tends to be a bit sub-par for PoE. It might run, but probably not well.

[chilly anvil]

I've got a 2018 Air. It'll "run" (as in, the game client will launch and render graphics), but it's too slow to consider playable. No great surprise given the dinky little integrated GPU on those systems

[minor marlin]

Works pretty good on the MBA if you can ignore the aluminium body heating up

[lone brook]

yo any of you macos players use plugins to enhance poe gameplay?

[minor marlin]

Nah nothing for me

[normal hearth]

anyone find a way to play poe without buying a new computer

[valid heath]

Geforce Now

[normal hearth]

arent the wait times really long?

like a queue to get onto geforce

[dull oxide]

but you are restricted to play for 1 hour per play and it runs out quick so must be speedrunning a lot and will sometimes run out mid boss fights

and depending on internet it will be hell or being lagged like being unplayable

@proud igloo first place in day 1

[lone brook]

mac os number one

[minor marlin]

woo

[dull oxide]

@proud igloo a little advice in the buggy and broken launcher of poe macOS after the installer ended I’m stuck at 100% and the launch button does not glow to mean is finished

and it also stuck at 0.76 speed of ms and the 23.45/out of 23.45 gb

and the browsers are stuck to a crawl so I have to use phone instead now

so looking it up I’m getting steam exclusive problems but not the launcher from the website itself so I’m the only that I found this problem

so I finally passed it but now I’m stuck with a windowed fullscreen stuck on the grinding gears moving in the middle and a black screen

[proud igloo]

Sounds like your mac isn't curse-immune anymore 😉

[dull oxide]

well I gave up on it I been playing on GeForce exclusively but is also laggier cuz of internet and only at bedtime the connection becomes good and less laggy

also the launcher is just like a copy paste of the broken steam version

[proud igloo]

What do you mean? It's the same old patching infrastructure as the PC standalone.

[atomic lantern]

do you know when we will be blessed with 3.15?

[proud igloo]

Slowly but steadily. The next patch to PoB will introduce a fistful of gems, depending on how solid their implementation is.

https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/pull/2999
https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/pull/3001

Oh. Helps if I read... no idea where pobfrontend is at.

I should get around working on the macOS version if the real PoB some time, so many projects and so little time to make something releasable 😄

[dull oxide]

I’ll take a pic of how it currently looks the menu tomorrow then you will know is the same version as steam with the same loading problems and slow loading screens

Oh and the blur problem too

[proud igloo]

Steam and Standalone has the exact same data files and game client version, across all PC platforms.

The difference is in the patching and things like Steam being an x86_64 app, but until there's a native ARM64 version of PoE, that doesn't matter.

They will run equally good (or bad).

[dull oxide]

@proud igloo is it possible for you to get on help room 1 vc so i can show it to you?

[dull oxide]

cuz you could know this thing

[dull oxide]

25 mins of loading screen has passed on the junk game for steam

[fast matrix]

pobfrontend is 3.15 ready since launch day. check it out at: https://github.com/bernhardfritz/pobfrontend

[atomic lantern]

Thank you so much

[lone brook]

do you guys have a notifier or something?

sometimes i dont check the. chatbox and people are messaging me for a item trade

i was wondering if there is a plugin to get a sound message or something like that

[marble stone]

There are some add-ons that read the log file and notify you about that unsure which ones work on Mac tho as my MacBook air is a tad too old to try :D

[lone brook]

is poe overlay available for mac?

[glossy echo]

how have y'all be handling late game, the frames do be real bad for me (although probably just summoner problem)

[glossy echo]

yeah expedition explosions blowing up monsters, chests, and my fps me

[fallen mica]

my friend is trying to play on mac, and cant get past the first loading screen for twilight strand

any idea for fix?

[chilly anvil]

What model is he trying to play on? Exact name as in 🍎 > About This Mac preferably

[shrewd mango]

Can I ask where to download mac client ?

my country doesn't allow to download from steam

(vietnam specifically)

[proud igloo]

I believe there is a download link on the PoE website, you may have to log in for it to be visible.

The installer from the announcement thread is still probably good: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2936392

Just tested, the installer seems recent and patches just fine.

[shrewd mango]

yeah the link still work, i'm downloading it thanks

[lone brook]

Receive phone notifications when you receive a whisper? Is there anything like this for the mac? would like to see my chat when I'm in the kitchen making a sandwich and someone whispers to buy but by the time I'm back they've already bought from someone else 😢

i know some windows solutions but dont know if there is any for mac?

[serene mulch]

If you’re of a programming persuasion, it’s not complex to do yourself - write a script to watch the client.txt, and send a push notification when it sees a whisper line

Don’t know about push notification gateways that have python APIs

If anything the push notifications might be the more annoying part - have never had to set those up before

[lone brook]

clien.txt?

do you know the location of it? im going to try it
