Rocket League Sonoma M1 Air
I'm struggling to get Rocket League to run.
- Mac OS Sonoma, Macbook Air M1
- Heroic native MacOS version
- Tried various wine + game porting toolkit versions (latest Game Porting Toolkit seemed most promising)
- At various points i was able to at least see the Game Icon appear in the dock and then disappear after a few seconds, now I don't even manage to see that anymore
- Game is installed on exFat 4TB external M2 drive
Any ideas / help? It seems like I broke something which at least used to make the game icon appear. Should I remove all game porting toolkits installed via Heroic and re-add them?
I also tried resetting the default prefix folder via terminal via
rm -rf "/Users/mo/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Rocket League"70 Replies

can you try running the game on your main drive?
just out of curiousity
because rocket league definitely works with gptk on a sonoma m1
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
that would be a huge challenge to dig up those 32 GB 😅 you think that could be the decicive difference?
eager-peach•2mo ago
i do sincerely think the external drive might be the problem here
you might be able to shove 32 from your main to the external?
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
yeah i will take a look on what i can relocate
optimistic-gold•2mo ago
gptk isnt working on mine either
im on an m1 pro
i played just 5 minuited ago
then i restarted and it stopped woeking
working
it said game version out of sync or something
i think we need to force update
@Mo
you know how?
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
yes i did that yesterday already, i don't think its the issue for me, but i will force update again later if i still struggle after moving it to the local drive
optimistic-gold•2mo ago
how do i do it?
oh wait
i need to software update
mabye thats the problem
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
optimistic-gold•2mo ago
thanks
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
ok thanks. i will ping back here once i have tested that route
optimistic-gold•2mo ago
force update worked for me
eager-peach•2mo ago
i will be here to help whenever im free 🫡
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
what option should i use, "move game" or "change install path"? i tried "move game" but i get an error
eager-peach•2mo ago
i thinkl you need to change install path to move the game files first(?)
its been a while since i moved a game i usually just uninstall the files and reinstall them LOL
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
i'm on vacation and downloading it via wifi takes forever here 😅🤣
eager-peach•2mo ago
yeah makes sense
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
i guess i will copy it manually and try to point my installation there or have it trying to install it there, hopefully that way it won't try to redownload everything
100 GB of system files on a 256 GB disk.. so fun 🫠
eager-peach•2mo ago
gotta love having an irremovable amount for apple intelligence!
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
i was able to just "import" it from the new location. but it still says "playing" but no game / game icon appears 😭 using latest GPTK
eager-peach•2mo ago
send a log?
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
i will have to hit the sheets though. i will revisit this. i need that ability for training everywhere 🤣
thanks for any help so far!
eager-peach•2mo ago
thats so odd ❓
im so confused why its not
huh.
the only thing i could say is maybe try verify/repair gamefiles or a full re-install but i know that's not the most viable for you right now on vacation wifi
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
ok, will let this run
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
lol.. the pain 🫠
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
still just says "playing" when i try to run the game, but no game appears
eager-peach•2mo ago
can you completely delete the folder your wine prefix is in so you can start fresh?
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
this is what i constantly do with
rm -rf "/Users/mo/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Rocket League
it then reinstalls EPIC redistributables upon first launch attempt
i also tried removing heroic and reinstalled, but it seems it kept all settings in my library, i guess i have to wipe that stuff manually for a clean uninstall / reinstall?eager-peach•2mo ago
press the reset heroic button
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
just manually reinstalled 😅
eager-peach•2mo ago
ah
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
chat gpt is suggesting adding some stuff via winetricks, is it hallucinating or does this make sense?
adverse-sapphire•2mo ago
SteamDB shows the depots as including
vcrun2022, not 2015. d3dcompiler_47 is for DX9 based games.correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
whatever i do, seems i can't make the game icon reappear in the dock, its weird that i used to have at least that little success but now i don't even get that far anymore
eager-peach•2mo ago
I am very confused, to be honest LOL
the only thing I can think of posing an issue is your OS version but it shouldn’t be a factor
can you switch to wine-crossover latest with dxvk, just to make sure it isn’t your os version being a nuisance?
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
you mean updating to sequoia? i am already considering the same lol
eager-peach•2mo ago
yea
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
i already have that installed from previous desparate attempts 🤣 should i check this box?
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
using wine-crossover i get some weird file name too long errors
eager-peach•2mo ago
yeah
????????????
adverse-sapphire•2mo ago
that looks like a restart-the-PC problem when the wineserver goes crazy
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
downloading sequoia rn 😅
eager-peach•2mo ago
yeah
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
Updating to Sequoia also changed nothing 😬 Loading Wine Crossover and taking another shot..
Feels like i have to nuke the complete system to start from a clean slate but i'm not ready for that (yet)..
maybe this is a missing piece? finding this inside the heroic log:

huh.
looks like something is screwed up with the eos overlay(?)
this entire situation is so bizarre to me i genuinely have almost never seen half of these log errors LOL
i genuinely have 0 clue what is wrong with your rocket league, someone more experienced might be able to save you though 🙏🏼
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
its funny how long i am able to make myself believe the next attempt in trying XY will work. this time it is finding an update i can apply to the game which will surely fix everything 😅
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
i also wonder about this error in the legendary log - it keeps popping up:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/folders/7b/c0_9mms52sd8dwv10rwk6mnh0000gn/T/_MEIhcLPdq/base_library.zip
[PYI-3622:ERROR] Failed to execute script 'pyi_rth_inspect' due to unhandled exception!'
and legendary log also always states
[cli] INFO: No Legendary-managed installation found.
despite attempts to manually add rocket league via terminalcorrect-apricotOP•2mo ago
related: should i care about those warnings?
eager-peach•2mo ago
you definitely need to install zenity, cabextract, and (maybe) 7z with homebrew
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
omg so excited, first time seeing the RL logo again in the dock.. making small progress 😄
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
the funny thing is, the RL logo only appeared once, now its gone again after i got these errors and ran
dot_clean .
for that folder
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
and winetricks is still complaining about missing 7zip, although i installed it via
brew install sevenzipcorrect-apricotOP•2mo ago
distinguished-silver•2mo ago
i have no probs running RL using Whisky through Heroic
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
@TheGoldenGem omfg thanks for all the tipps 🥰
adverse-sapphire•2mo ago
amazing, this thing found the
dosdevices symlinks and kept goingcorrect-apricotOP•2mo ago
btw i fixed that by adding the PATH entries so winetricks can find 7zip.. chatgpt was also a huge helper for debugging this mess 😅
seems like i already managed to break sth.. 🤦♂️ tried to activate anti aliasing, then the game froze..
Tried deleting TASystemSettings.ini so it recreates a default one but it still freezes on the start screen 😭
anyone happens to have a stable settings file for a Macbook M1 Air running Rocket League on Game Porting Toolkit latest? 😅
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
it used to use composited, now it says direct and freezes on first frame and i dont know how to get it back to running
eager-peach•2mo ago
this might be history’s most problematic rocket league install
I have genuinely 0 idea why it’s giving you such a hard time LOL
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
i am just extremely talented, obviously
🤪
Can anyone provide a TASystemSettings.ini with performance settings / no AA by chance? 😅
eager-peach•2mo ago
can’t you hunt down the ini in finder and set the value to 0/false?
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
there is no simple single parameter for AA stuff i am afraid.. already tried various manual ini changes.
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
for whatever reason the game hangs on start now every time, even if i remove the config folder and repair the game. i don't know why its not running as it did earlier
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
ok, i was able to restore the original rendering behaviour. the key was not to delete the config folder, but the cache and the log folders
gotta admit although its running on 80 fps according to the overlay, it does not feel super smooth
is this due to using GPTK latest? should i use sth else?
but then again, this might just be me, also not used to gaming on a mac and having only mouse + keyboard right now, normally i play with controller
either way i'm pretty happy it is running now 🤩
seems like pulling down resolution from native 1680 to sth like 1280 seems to make it feel much more fluid running at +90fps. for some training it should be usable
is this covered somewhere in a tut regarding heroic / rocket league setup? i think i have to write down all the stuff that was necessary to get this running, otherwise i will struggle whenever i will try that again on a different machine 😅
eager-peach•2mo ago
no but there should be a macOS guide eventually its still being worked on
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
oof, i tried copying the game back to my external 4TB disk to save space..
however i keep getting the "ambigous package name" errors there, and opening CookedPCConsole in Terminal and executing "dot_clean ." does not seem to get rid of it.
it used to work on my local drive though
eager-peach•2mo ago
correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
any ideas on this?
ok, once again, chatGPT ftw..
using
dot_clean -m .
instead of
dot_clean .
seems to do the job for an external exFat drive.. running on my external M2 drive now 😎correct-apricotOP•2mo ago
ok since it was a long ride for me getting this to run, i took some notes so i know what i did if i try to do the same thing in the future 😅 might help other ppl
