try using wine-crossover
- wine manager in heroic's sidebar
- wine-crossover tab
- install the latest (or 23.something)
- set wine-crossover as the wine/crossover version in the game's settings
- delete this folder using mac's file explorer (finder) `/Users/whateveryourusernameis/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Rocket League`
- turn on auto installation of dxvk
- try again

dxvk is still off open the game’s settings, scroll down a bit and you should see a checkbox that says auto install dxvk

Hi, did you install Whiskey previously? The way I got rocket league to work without much setup was just installing Whiskey and selecting it as the bottle to use for Rocket League in the heroic launcher game menu

no @TheGoldenGem @G. I can confirm after installing Rosetta 2 from terminal its now working, I used the: softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

Ah! That's super odd! Usually it would prompt you to install Rosetta upon opening any intel application you might've had That's good to know

Dont have any, the gameplay does feel pretty choppy though ngl even with GPTK it feels choppy

That's really odd You have the same chip as I do The game is running at a smooth 60fps even with all the settings maxed out (except for aliasing which doesn't seem to work)

I think it depends on the map too Messing around with a few settings I managed to get 253fps on the new map
