Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts Keeps crashing on gameplay
The game works fine when starting it up, but when I get to actually play the game (past all the cutscenes), the game crashes. If needed, I can send a screen recording.

can no one help :(

you have to wait, if somebody knows how to help they will
keep in mind most users here don't even use mac for gaming, and there a 50% chance the game just doesn't work on mac

thanks, i'll keep waiting
it's been a week... should i just give up and close the post or keep waiting
ugly-tan•8mo ago
up to you, everybody here are volunteers, the only option is to wait and hope someone knows how to fix that issue
mac gaming is not great, most support threads that go unresolved here are related to mac, it's just not a great gaming device
genetic-orangeOP•8mo ago
ah. i'm not too informed on this, do you mind explaining why it's not great for gaming?

the architecture isn't supported by the manufacturer for the purpose of gaming, and they make building games to it difficult for developers. linux has a similar issue, but we have better wine support than mac does

no need to reply to every message
genetic-orangeOP•8mo ago
is that a problem?
continuing-cyan•8mo ago
it irritates me to get pings every time you send a single message
genetic-orangeOP•8mo ago
i only replied (pinged) to your message once.. but alr
continuing-cyan•8mo ago
yeah, but you did every single one of ariel's messages. that would be excessive pinging, see the #rules
genetic-orangeOP•8mo ago
not sure how that's excessive since most were with a question at the end, also he didn't say anything about it. no need to defend him. if you don't like getting pings, i'll note that.

Apple was really hostile to game developers, not supporting them, being super closed, etc, as a result game developers stopped caring about apple many many years ago unless they had a real good reason to support it
Only last year Apple started to try to be a bit better for game developers with the Game Porting Toolkit but that will take a long time to be at the level of windows or even linux
in my experience, gaming on Mac means a 50% chance the game just doesn't work on mac at all or works but with many graphical problems if it's not native (as in: it depends on GPTK/whisky/crossover/etc), like: missing textures, completely invisible elements like your character or menus

i've been in the games industry for 17 years, and every studio i've ever worked with basically just ignores mac 😄 it isnt worth the effort (kinda similar to why linux isnt worht the effot either), they both have really low ROI
(its not that devs couldnt target mac or linux, but the effort isnt worth the money to do so)

Got it working with:
- Wine Staging - 9.3 or Wine Crossover - 23.7.1-1
- and Auto Install/Update DXVK on Prefix checked
- and DXVK enabled (overrides for
d3d10core, d3d11, dxgi libraries)
