FF14-MAC_ModSupport VS dxvk-async

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

Right now im using this https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async with dxvk.enableAsync=true, it works but i got transparent assets 1-2s before it load completely, is that normal?

You can also manually install it yourself, check the DXVK_ASYNC Github page for the instructions. Maybe try to use an older version of Proton GE if you're unsure.

I also tested out Unity on my system and got the same results as you to which DXVK gplasync or the older DXVK-Async "band-aid" fixed it. Really, that's the only thing that does address issues with DX11

DXVK Async: This is a file that converts the game from DirectX9 to Vulkan, this helps alleviate issues with stuttering and massive frame drops. This version has async which renders shaders faster so it has less stuttering than regular DXVK.

Try downloading this - https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async

Download dxvk async 2.0 here : https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async/releases/tag/2.0. then open it and go inside the x32 folder and copy d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll then paste inside C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia II\pc.

Jedi Fallen Order (Epic setting) was a little quirky with stuttering, but was rectified when I used DXVK_ASYNC and entered DXVK_ASYNC =1 in Settings > About > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables > System Variables > New > Variable Name = DXVK_ASYNC, Variable Value = 1, and that reduces the issues quite a bit. Vanilla DXVK 2.1 didn't work out as well for me, but I might try it again as 2.2 came out recently
