Talking about legacy tho

In that case
To run GTAV or RDR2 on Mac, neither the free wine-crossover wine nor the game porting toolkit that can be installed with Heroic work. The only option that works on Mac is to use the commercial version of Crossover.

I don't really understand that section I'm german Complex wording

You are currently using Game Porting Toolkit to run the game. That won't work, you need to use CrossOver

Ah how can I change that? Sorry, pretty new to these stuff
CommandMC

Install CrossOver. Once it's installed, Heroic will find it & you can select it in the "Wine Version" dropdown in the game settings

Ah, I need to install the demo, right? Or do I need the paid version Because I can't pay And also, will the crossover setting still work after the trial is done?
CommandMC
CommandMC2w ago
You can use the trial until the trial period runs out. After that, you'll have to purchase the full version

Oh, is there no other free way to play GTA 5? I bought it

Sikarugir may be able to run the game; might want to ask that on their Discord server: https://discord.gg/hD48GFpWz5 If it can't, your only option is to use CrossOver. Welcome to Mac Gaming

Oh, does it have a epic games library built in? Oh, I see that it's like wine bottley Is there really no other way? Im doing this for my cousin and he doesn't want to pay anything, he is a starter and not good with tech

I assume you're referring to WineBottler? The two are similar in functionality, although WineBottler is ancient Not to my knowledge. Could use cloud gaming services, although the free tiers of those are usually also rather lacking

Crossover is a one time cost though isnt it? and goes on sale frequently on mac, there generally arent many free options
CommandMC
CommandMC2w ago
Yes, you pay & get a year of free updates, after that you can use the last version you got forever

Seems good, but my cousin won't buy it sadly Would whisky work? I know it's unmaintained But
CommandMC
CommandMC2w ago
It will not

xenial-blackOP2w ago
Oh Well I'll look for apps like sikarugir And then if it doesn't work im kinda cooked Since I thought it would work And my cousin bought the game
CommandMC
CommandMC2w ago
There's Sikarugir, that's it Everything else is unmaintained/ancient and will definitely not work
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP2w ago
Hmm, are there any settings I need? And if I have the game installed on heroic, do I need to install it again on sikarugir?
