Can tModLoader be made to run natively on ARM Mac?

Hi! I have a question, is it possible to make tModLoader run natively on ARM Mac? https://github.com/Candygoblen123/TerrariaArmMac allows me to run vanilla Terraria natively on ARM M1 Silicon chips, meaning I have great FPS there, but in tModLoader I get really slow startups, very low framerates, and frequent crashes.

There has been a bit of work, you can upvote this issue to show that you want it https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/pull/2639

Thanks.

Is there any more progress on porting tModLoader to ARM so far? Just curious.

jopojelly•4/4/23, 5:36 PM

No, all work currently in in getting 1.4.4 tmod updating and new modder functionality

foolish-indigoOP•4/4/23, 7:19 PM

Alright.

technical-ivory•6/11/23, 6:14 PM

Hey, bumping this to ask the same thing!

foolish-indigoOP•8/4/23, 12:05 AM

Oh hey! 1.4.4's out, sick. Is progress on this likely to come?

foolish-indigoOP•11/19/23, 8:53 PM

Any progress thus far?

jopojelly•11/19/23, 9:31 PM

Not really, one of the dependencies of tModLoader doesn't support ARM yet, so we need to wait for that to happen

foolish-indigoOP•11/20/23, 5:05 PM

Unfortunate.

urgent-maroon•1/9/24, 12:33 PM

Hello. I guess the same issue I have.
We try to play with friends so we have next configuration:
Remote server with good ping and 6gb RAM
User 1: Mac M1 Pro 32GB, Sonoma 14.2.1.
User 2: Mac M1 Pro 16GB, Sonoma 14.2.1.
User 3: Windows
Mods list: ["RecipeBrowser","AlchemistNPCLite","Autofish","BossChecklist","CalamityHunt","CalamityMod","CalamityModMusic","CalValEX","CatalystMod","Census","DialogueTweak","Fargowiltas","FargowiltasCrossmod","FargowiltasMusic","FargowiltasSouls","FargowiltasSoulsDLC","HelpfulNPCs","ImproveGame","MagicStorage","MaxStackExtra","NoxusBoss","SerousCommonLib","SubworldLibrary","UnCalamityModMusic","WMITF","CalamityRuTranslate","GravityDontFlipScreen","WingSlotExtra","SmarterCursor","ExpandedInventory","FasterUI","ShopExpander","OneStopNPCShop"]

Users with Mac have a big issues with fps, it's around 12 - 20. Of course we play with frame skip

Maybe someone find some workarounds, @Frankie? Cuz I already tried a lot of different ways, but still unlucky.

foolish-indigoOP•1/9/24, 12:39 PM

Yeah! Frame skip does slightly mitigate the issue, but it's not fun playing on such terrible FPS. I'm also using an M1 Mac desktop with 32GB of ram, also on Sonoma 14.2.1.

@Frankie @LordKered I've given performance snapshot recording instructions here, let me know if you have questions in the process

Tthen-purple @Frankie @LordKered I've given performance snapshot recording instructions here,...

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:05 AM

Thank you! Unfortunately, I'm having issues with the chmod +x ./dotTrace.shchmod +x ./dotTrace.sh part. I'm trying to change the ././ to the path it's located in (/Users/frankie/Downloads/Users/frankie/Downloads) but that doesn't seem to work. Neither does Macintosh\ HD/Users/frankie/DownloadsMacintosh\ HD/Users/frankie/Downloads. I'm probably doing something wrong; I apologize!

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:06 AM

What permission does the file have when you do ls -lAhls -lAh listing?

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:07 AM

..It's either a 3 digit number or something along the lines of rw.rw.rwxrw.rw.rwx on the left

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:07 AM

You can try skipping that step, if ./dotTrace attach./dotTrace attach doesn't error -- that was just a precaution

Tthen-purple What permission does the file have when you do `ls -lAh` listing?

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:10 AM

It doesn't seem to appear in the list.

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:11 AM

It's being ran with cdcd in downloads; I might have messed something up?

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:11 AM

Wait no, I found it!

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:12 AM

I didn't realize it sorted alphabetically by capitals and then by lowercase.

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:15 AM

That's a folder you navigate into, or rename it first with rm JetBrains*.tar.gz && mv JetBrains* dotTrace && cd dotTracerm JetBrains*.tar.gz && mv JetBrains* dotTrace && cd dotTrace

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:15 AM

Ah, alright!

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:16 AM

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:16 AM

Oh wait, I forgot to do the chmod thing again.

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:16 AM

Forgive my ineptitude.

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:16 AM

Not ~/dotTrace~/dotTrace, ./dotTrace./dotTrace

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:17 AM

.. is the current directory, while ~~ points to your home dir.

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:19 AM

Ah, okay!

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:20 AM

I recorded the .dtt.dtt or .dtp.dtp, but I can't seem to find it in the dotTracedotTrace folder.

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:21 AM

Did DT tell you where it put it?

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:21 AM

You can append --save-to=~/TML_Snapshot.dtt--save-to=~/TML_Snapshot.dtt to the second attach call to save it to your home.

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:21 AM

Hold on, let me try re-recording.

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:22 AM

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:22 AM

Uh oh.

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:23 AM

It most definitely does.

Tthen-purple You can append `--save-to=~/TML_Snapshot.dtt` to the second attach call to save ...

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:27 AM

It worked now without the save-to. However, these document sizes look off.

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:28 AM

Uh, yea, that doesn't look right

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:29 AM

Try removing them, and recording without --timeout=30s--timeout=30s. To stop recording - select the console and press Ctrl+CCtrl+C ONCE.

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:30 AM

Maybe I misunderstood the timeout command, thought it's a timer.

Tthen-purple Try removing them, and recording without `--timeout=30s`. To stop recording - se...

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:31 AM

Same situation.

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:32 AM

Wait a minute... Was I supposed to do the second one?

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:32 AM

Was doing 64554, but both appear identical.

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:32 AM

I'd expect only one to be present

Mirsario•1/10/24, 1:33 AM

are you running a client and a server?

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:33 AM

No, I clicked singleplayer.

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:33 AM

It also pauses when I enter settings, which confirms it, I think? I'll try 64495.

foolish-indigoOP•1/10/24, 1:34 AM

./dotTrace.sh attach 64495 --profiling-type=Timeline --timeout=30s
./dotTrace.sh attach 64495 --profiling-type=Timeline

Gonna try both of these.
