what do i write for game arguments and script select
optimistic-goldOPā¢6mo ago
@Wiltas @Mad you need to set the full path to
MarvelRivals_Launcher.exe. Do not type it in. Just use the file pickerxenial-blackā¢6mo ago
just ended up getting this
optimistic-goldOPā¢6mo ago
Delete your prefix folder and run it again
GPTK is also probably too old to be using
xenial-blackā¢6mo ago
both are gptk for me
there's gpt latest and there just gptk
ill try the other one
xenial-blackā¢6mo ago
optimistic-goldOPā¢6mo ago
Switch to something more recent like whisky or crossover
xenial-blackā¢6mo ago
using whisky the game will just not launch
it will simply say loading before reverting to play now
manual-pinkā¢6mo ago

magic-amberā¢6mo ago

unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago

manual-pinkā¢6mo ago

frail-apricotā¢6mo ago
Wiltas are you staff
magic-amberā¢6mo ago

frail-apricotā¢6mo ago
any staff pls help me :(
magic-amberā¢6mo ago
no im not
frail-apricotā¢6mo ago
oh okay
plain-purpleā¢6mo ago
There are no staff everyone here is a volunteer
foreign-sapphireā¢6mo ago
nobody on the heroic team or helpers team plays on mac, macos has really bad support in general
whatever is found is a community effort
manual-pinkā¢6mo ago
Appreciate people like you a lot
I fricken HATEEEE tech i get so frustrated so fast so having such helpful people just around is incredible
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
ill try my best to find a heroic centric solution, right now im working on getting the game to run on crossover lOL
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
hey just a
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
update for you guys
the game tends to leak memory
like
really frequently :Insanity:
you guys miiiight have to wait until next game patch for the memory leak issue to get fixed before i can try finding a solution, sorry
but i have gotten the game to run on the crossover preview
will see if i can replicate it on heroic after this memory leak bug is patched
manual-pinkā¢6mo ago
I see alright alright
off topic whats this emoji from
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
a server from a friend's of mine LOL
you want it?
manual-pinkā¢6mo ago
iyeah it looks super familiar
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
mb for the late response
manual-pinkā¢6mo ago
YES I KNEW I RECOGNIZED IT
ITS FROM THE SACRIFICE CARD FROM YOUR TURN TO DIE
tyty
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
LOL
ch3p2 when šš¼
anyways for anyone wondering if that silly memory leak has been fixed yet:
apparently not
plain-purpleā¢6mo ago
Why would it get fixed over the weekend.
Game devs dont work weekend generally
Also depending on the problem it could take a while to fix if its even on their todo for any upcoming patches
manual-pinkā¢6mo ago
Thx for the update!
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
yeah i thought so too LOL
just wanted to give people in the thread a heads up
latest patch just dropped with a memory leak fix, will probably try to make the game work later today š«”
manual-pinkā¢6mo ago
It probably still wont work with my M1 non-intel mac mini though right
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
i got it to run on crossover on my m2 macbook so i wouldnt
rule your mac mini out just yet
conscious-sapphireā¢6mo ago
when i launch the game im stuck on a screen that says preparing, does anyone know why
manual-pinkā¢6mo ago
Everyone is having pretty much the same issue and a solution or concrete reason hasnāt been found yet
conscious-sapphireā¢6mo ago
sounds good thank you for the reply
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
just an update for my attemptsāliterally only crossover preview has escaped the fabled "preparing" screen
manual-pinkā¢6mo ago
WOAHYHH
conscious-sapphireā¢6mo ago
has it worked for anyone?
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
only on crossover preview for me
afraid-scarletā¢6mo ago
Any special setting to get it to run in crossover Preview? aside from using d3dmetal and msync? I'm getting a message that my OS isn't supported
correct-apricotā¢6mo ago
its fine, just click on continue
and if it says download drivers then say no
afraid-scarletā¢6mo ago
Thanks, seems a dns filter on my computer was the culprit of not getting to log in, sorry for everyone that haven't managed to run it without preview, I bit the bullet because I don't have time currently but I'm sure in some month support should come to Porting kit.
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
yeah just press continue the game will complain everytime you boot it up but its fine after pressing continue
stormy-goldā¢6mo ago
does marvel rivels work on macos through heroic?
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
youāre gonna need crossover
the paid version
stormy-goldā¢6mo ago
why isnt it working in parallels
Arent they both same
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
no they are not
absent-sapphireā¢6mo ago
When I try and open Marvel rivals it says running then just stops š
please just @ me whenever anybody answers
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
nevermind LMFAO
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
looks like theyre nabbing the crossover users
it was a good run
absent-sapphireā¢6mo ago
so does this mean we cant use heroic either??
optimistic-goldOPā¢6mo ago
Heroic isn't the Wine runner -- Crossover or Whisky or GPTK are. everyone who said they were banned said they were using Crossover
absent-sapphireā¢6mo ago
ok but on heroic it says the app is running for a few seconds then just stops running
optimistic-goldOPā¢6mo ago
You haven't indicated if you already set the target exe to be the correct one yet
absent-sapphireā¢6mo ago
whats that mean
I think i got it but now its just giving me some erorr. I changed EXE to MarvelRivals_Launcher.exe
still didnt work
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
youre gonna end up getting banned anyways
looks like theyre cracking down on people running the game through wine
absent-sapphireā¢6mo ago
how come we dont get banned on other games??
plain-purpleā¢6mo ago
not all game studios or publishers ban gamers on wine
foreign-sapphireā¢6mo ago
they issued an statement saying it was a mistake to ban https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/01/marvel-rivals-team-issue-a-statement-on-recent-bans-for-steam-deck-and-macos-players/
GamingOnLinux
Marvel Rivals team issue a statement on recent bans for Steam Deck ...
Recently it came to my attention that Marvel Rivals did a ban-wave for a whole bunch of players on macOS and some on Steam Deck (Linux) too. Now, their team have issued a statement on the situation.
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
pretty fire
what are the errors
if theyre driver errors just press continue and ignore all of them
itll complain everytime you launch the game but they dont stop you from playing
absent-sapphireā¢6mo ago
absent-sapphireā¢6mo ago
this error
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
ough
what wine version are you running the game with
absent-sapphireā¢6mo ago
game porting toolkit latest
@TheGoldenGem
foreign-sapphireā¢6mo ago
the only option that works seem to be the paid version of crossover
unwilling-turquoiseā¢6mo ago
^
as far as ive tried its only paid crossover thats worked
absent-sapphireā¢6mo ago
damn
optimistic-goldOPā¢6mo ago
this is also why we ask for game logs when asking for assistance
for future reference
To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.
absent-sapphireā¢5mo ago
when do yall think were gonna be able to play it on heroic??
foreign-sapphireā¢5mo ago
it's not up to heroic to solve that, you have to use the paid version of crossover with heroic
to be clear, heroic doesn't RUN the game, it tells crossover to run it
you can play the game with heroic, you have to configure the game to use the paid version of Crossover
absent-sapphireā¢5mo ago
@ me when we can play it for free
plz
1. Open the Terminal and run:
xcode-select --install
2. Install Homebrew by running this command in Terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
3. Use Homebrew to install GPTK:
brew install game-porting-toolkit
4. Download and Configure Heroic Games Launcher
Install Heroic Games Launcher:
Download the macOS version from Heroic Games Launcherās official website.
Install and launch the application.
Install the Game:
Log into your Epic Games or GOG account in Heroic Games Launcher.
Install Marvel Rivals.
Enable Wine Compatibility Layer:
In Heroic Games Launcher, go to the game's settings.
Set the compatibility layer to use Wine by pointing to the GPTK Wine installation (usually located at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit).
5. Create a new Wine prefix for the game:
mkdir -p ~/WinePrefixes/MarvelRivals
WINEPREFIX=~/WinePrefixes/MarvelRivals game-porting-toolkit
6. Configure Wine for DirectX: Run Wine configuration for the game:
WINEPREFIX=~/WinePrefixes/MarvelRivals winecfg
7. Launch the Game
In Heroic, make sure the game executable uses the Wine version provided by GPTK.
Start the game through Heroic Games Launcher. If you encounter issues:
Enable debugging logs in Heroic to troubleshoot.
Consider tweaking Wine settings or applying community-provided patches for specific issues with Marvel Rivals.
I asked chat gpt and this is what it said to do
@arieljuod have u tried this???
optimistic-goldOPā¢5mo ago
using chatGPT to try to go around the answer you didn't like is certainly a choice
absent-sapphireā¢5mo ago
lmao
I dont know what im doing
sooooooo I just ask chat gptš
optimistic-goldOPā¢5mo ago
if you don't know what you're doing, stop relying on chatgpt. you were already given the best answer at the present time.
you're just going to mess things up. for example, you can already install the Game Porting Toolkit in Heroic
foreign-sapphireā¢5mo ago
no, and my mac is too old to even use GPTK so I can't test anything for this game
the only chance to play it for free is to wait for a future update of GPTK and see if it got fixed, otherwise you'll be wasting your time
absent-sapphireā¢5mo ago
š
unwilling-turquoiseā¢5mo ago
i mean, correct me if Iām wrong, but every time a new crossover version releases doesnāt gcenx(?) update the wine-crossover included with heroic?
if the game runs on crossover 24 then maybe by the time crossover 25 is out then thereāll be a free workaround
just a guess though
foreign-sapphireā¢5mo ago
I think I remember gcenx saying it was not possible anymore since some changes in crossover with d3dmetal (or something related to that), or that it was harder than before
foreign-sapphireā¢5mo ago
https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/3372#issuecomment-1879523837
maybe it will be released at some point, but I don't think it's as direct as: new release of crossover > new release of wine-crossover, I understand that it depends on how feasible it is

unwilling-turquoiseā¢5mo ago

Iām going to lock the thread if the only thing thatās going to happen is asking if there are unpaid updates

The answer to that question is undoubtedly going to be no anyway..
