No game seems to work on the mac (M4 max chipset)

I have tried running Airmech strike and marvel rivals, however it seems that nether will work. Rivals just doesnty install on the windows steam version, and when i attempt to run airmech strike, it doenst launch (Wine, whiskey and GPTK all used as luanch options.)

Marvel Rivals requires the paid version of Crossover otherwise, post game logs

how do you own that game? also whisky is not maintained anymore, it's better to use GPTK directly I see it's a steam game, you can't run steam games with heroic, heroic doesn't support steam's DRM

Ok Airmech strike is a free game. I assume there same reason why i can't run rivals also applies to genshin and possbily spiltgate 2?

keep in mind that macos is a really bad gaming platform, in my experience, 50% of the games I tried just won't work bacause of mac

no idea about the other games, marvel rivals requires the paid version of crossover, you can probably use the free 14-days trial to check if those other games you want run with it

You can use this for Genshin. If you need support, ask their server: https://github.com/yaagl/yet-another-anime-game-launcher

if you're feeling frisky, you can use the iOS version: https://playcover.io/

even though airmech is free, it still has steam's DRM https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/AirMech_Strike you could install steam using crossover, but even them it seems to be broken with a 1-star rating https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility?browse=&app_desc=&company=&rating=&platform=&date_start=&date_end=&name=airmech&search=app#results

Or try sideloading Steam through Heroic is an option

That’s not shown in the log above. It looks like you tried launching the game through Heroic And then stacked the prefix into the game install folder

Ah okay, so I have to launch it through steam itself, I can't open steam and launch it through heroic gotcha. I did try that, same end result but its working rn
