YQuake II is also a Native app and I can confirm it runs but haven’t done testing beyond that. It is working well except for mouse input, which is something I’ll have to work on. The classic game “Quake.” (I’m porting the old fruitz-of-dojo code). One more game that isn’t yet out of development is under testing. Larian and Apple have done an amazing job here. The test was the first act of the game through the Nautilus and there wasn’t a skip or missed frame. I ran the game with all graphical settings turned up and on the native MacBook resolution (3024x1890) and it performed spectacularly. With realistic humanoid characters and very detailed environments it is pretty taxing for both a CPU and GPU. I was able to sign into may account and play a round with no issues.īaldur’s Gate is a much more intensive game. It is graphically fairly low impact with few moving object and minimal particle effect and shaders. I’ll start with Catan because it is simpler.įor those who don’t know Catan is a virtual board game. Truly, two games at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of player base and technological requirements. I’ve tried two titles here: Baldur’s Gate 3 and Settler’s of Catan. I’ll split the gaming into three parts: macOS native ARM, macOS Intel, Windows virtual Intel (haven’t tried an ARM native Windows game yet…) Overall, I’m pretty impressed with how things run on this Mac. Parallels 18.2 Desktop with an 8core/8GB RAM/4GB VRAM VM (I hate subscriptions) There still wasn’t good information that I could find regarding gaming on the M1 Max under Parallels but I took the plunge and want to report in. As a long time Mac faithful there was no question about another MacBook Pro and I was holding out for the M2 Max. My gaming preferences bend toward survival and action RPG genres.īut after four years it was an upgrade year. Got a lot of good gaming on it in boot camp from Fallout 4 to Risk of Rain 2 to CyberPunk 2077. It was a quirky but functional rig (MacBooks with eGPUs on BootCamp roll this way). Sapphire Radeon Vega 64 eGPU (Mantiz Venus upgraded after two years to a Saturn) I have been gaming on a 2019 13” MacBook Pro from when they were released.
