FF14-MAC_ModSupport VS MoltenVK

If you are feeling adventurous, try MANUALLY installing the DXVK and MoltenVK updates shown at: https://github.com/seathasky/FF14-MAC_ModSupport

Best way to play on Mac is via crossover. It gives you the best performance on Mac for FFXIV. The link also provides a method for you to play on Mac while using your PC, Steam or Mac purchases if you are unable to buy a Mac version. Good luck!

Alternatively, if you already own Crossover, https://github.com/seathasky/FF14-MAC_ModSupport has some additional tweaks. (Note that this will install a second instance of FFXIV)

It looks as if you inserted a \ in the middle for some reason; removing it does the right thing.

I have! I got the MBP last week, but didn't get a chance to toss FFXIV onto it until a couple of days ago. Meanwhile... this happened: https://github.com/seathasky/FF14-MAC_ModSupport

There’s something even better than that. Just get Crossover 21, and spin your own install of the WinPC client: https://github.com/seathasky/FF14-MAC_ModSupport

You could try replacing the wrappers libMoltenVK.dylib found in /Frameworks with the one I’d just uploaded https://github.com/The-Wineskin-Project/MoltenVK/releases/download/v1.2.3/macos-1.2.3-g5cbeaaa-UE4hack-zeroinit-dxvk.tar.xz

Here's the Roguelike third-person shooter Unreal Engine 4 game called Crab Champions that seems to be working thanks to the people who made the UE4 Moltenvk fix (https://github.com/The-Wineskin-Project/MoltenVK/releases).

However, it looks like the latest libMoltenVK (macos-1.2.3-g7b9a415a-UE4hack-Wideline-zeroinit) (huge thanks to Gcenx and nastys/italomandara!) allows the game to work almost perfectly (at least in the few minutes I've been testing).

There’s no need to build MoltenVK from source you can grab prebuilt archives from https://github.com/The-Wineskin-Project/MoltenVK

If this game uses DXVK then try using the following build https://github.com/The-Wineskin-Project/MoltenVK/releases/download/v1.2.0/macos-1.2.0-pr1678-UE4hack-Wideline-zeroinit.tar.xz

You could instead grab an archive from my mirror https://github.com/The-Wineskin-Project/MoltenVK/releases

https://github.com/Gcenx/MoltenVK/releases/tag/v1.1.7 apply these to your crossover and see how it works.

I was testing this version of MoltenVK (Macos_dxvk_patched-1.1.8.tarxz) (https://github.com/Gcenx/MoltenVK/releases/tag/v1.1.8) and I was able to able to get in the game. Before this the game was able to get to the Manu but would just black screen after starting.

The same is true for MoltenVK don’t use the upstream releases/VulkanSDK, instead use https://github.com/Gcenx/MoltenVK
