PoE 2 on Mac with Apple Silicon proc (M1 - M4 max)

I used windows but the laptop had a quadro GPU.. it played but to be honest the M1 max is in a league of its own compared to windows.. at least for what I do.

I just don't want to pay a subscription for crossover just to play poe2. No loot filters, etc. would be nice to have native support though. I don't care what the reason is.. can't delay it forever

the m1 processor is in a different league than windows os?

i would tend to agree, one is hardware and the other is software lol.

Poe2 isn't made for mac users this was announced before game's release..
Also why complain when you spent x5 cost of good pc on something useless, weird virtual signaling there buddy

This is such a weak point to make, yet people still cling to it.

Desktop PCs are always cheaper than laptops because they have much less constraints to contend with: Part size, thermal envelope and power efficiency, to name the most restrictive ones.

Just take a Desktop PC, look up an equivalently specced out laptop, then compare that to the price of a MacBook. You'd be surprised how little difference there actually is.

Bonus points if you manage to avoid the obvious but flawed "but more gaming performance" fallacy.

Returning to the point of the thread: I do hope the macOS client will come as promised and be more optimized than the PoE1 one. I'd like to have the option to play the game on my work or personal MacBook on occasion, and not having to boot up the old power-guzzler for some quick rounds ;)

I play with Geforce Now on my M3 macbook air and it goes very well !

Latency is barely noticable, but you need a good internet speed.

Also looking forward to playing on macOS. Happy to use Crossover/WINE, but want to see it somewhat supported as a first-class citizen. Will want to run on M1 Max and an M4 Max.

Thanks for the great work devs! This game looks great and excited to play it soon! Will be happy to contribute to the higher tiers of early access support if we can get this to come forward.

just help me transport my desktop computer every time I need to change my place of live for job.

also, help me not to use Windows 11 with monthly system crashes.

I have macbook 14 and razer blade 14, and I know what I'm talking about

Tired of your stupid advice that you give from your point of view

Hope GGG release macos client of poe2

any macos > win11

I have a M4 pro and It work perfectly here via Crossover !

Just tune your Video setting correctly.

sure your graphic will not be As good as Nvidia graphic , but still good enough.

And its playable all content.

I play minions

I have no idea what your reply has to do with what I wrote, but judging by your incoherent rambling, I have to assume you don't know what you're talking about.

It's not the software it's the hardware. Macintosh have been built badly for over a decade at this point. Some of these mac book air doesn't even have a heat pipe connecting their processor to the fan to transfer heat.
