macOS Compatibility
| Compatibility layer | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CrossOver | The game runs perfectly with DXVK in mostly high details on Crossover 23.6. With D3DMetal, performance degrades after a few minutes of play. Both methods cause audio problems that can be resolved by opening the Audio-MIDI-Setup app and adjusting the format to 88,000+ Hz.[1] For more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6UW6s_3TG0 | |
| Wine | Use -nojoy as a launch argument. I had a perfect experience playing CS2 if I used PortingKit and manually compiling GPTK, then merging the wine files from GPTK into the PortingKit's wine files. See Tutorial Videos section for a guide. I used the -vulkan launch argument for better fullscreen windowed support as well as a more stable framerate. [2] |
|
| Virtualization | ||
| Parallels | Game runs but performance is below average, about 23 FPS [3] |
Availability
- See PCGamingWiki for Windows and/or Linux availability.
Fixes
| Mouse Input |
|---|
|
If mouse acceleration is enabled on your Mac the game will seemingly ignore small mouse movements. This can be fixed by disabling mouse acceleration in the MacOS system settings. |
Useful Launch Arguments
-nojoy: Essential for running this game to run at a stable framerate-fullscreen: Launches the game in Fullscreen-+cl_forcepreload 1: Forces the game to pre-load shaders - Reports of improved performance-vukan: Forces the game to use Vulkan
