[MacOs] Steam version still does not start

I mean it's not even mentioned in recent "launch troubles" post. What the hell, is it even being worked on ?

I don't like saying it as a "native" client should alway be best, but using something like CrossOver I seem to get far better performance out of that than the actual Mac standalone client.

I'm using KegWorks, which is essentially the same thing as Crossover or the Steam client (except the Steam client is using old drivers). The performance is definitely better. The wiki has an entire writeup on it, but it requires some patience and the ability to actually read instructions instead of just clicking buttons.

P.S. if you don't mind playing without sound effects (loot filter sounds still work), then you can achieve a huge performance gain with the following line in your production_Config.ini

sound_effects_volume2=false

I agree, and yet the reality is they aren't super quick to fix Mac issues (3.19 when they updated to engine, was a complete mess!)... so I guess you either jump through hoops, or wait forever for them to fix, or maybe use cloud gaming (I've used GEForce Now and it was pretty good). POE2 isn't even officially supporting Mac (but you can still play via Wine / KegWorks).

And missing QA for mac hit again.

Every patch we face the same problems with the client.

Patch version does not match...
