It's been one year of this conversation, but I just found it now.

Sync has also made me use Lemmy more often, but I was still missing a good web environment until recently when I started using photon. It is the best web experience I had using Lemmy and now I'm using as a progressive web app.

Photon repository here! Give it a star or start contributing to it.

[Updated] Red Dead Redemption 1 can't be played on macOS due to DRM (self.macgaming)

I was curious to see if the new (old) Red Dead Redemption can be played on macOS through a compatibility software (Whisky or Crossover).

But it seems the game can't be played because the DRM used on it ins't compatible with Crossover.

I'm curious if the already cracked version can be used on Crossover or Whisky. Has anyone tested it? If it works, then it's only way to play the game on macOS.

Edit.: Here is some testing that the game can't be played on macOS now. There are two ways of playing it: emulating the Switch version through Ryujinx or the cracked version.

Steam (and other stores) lacks the native ARM version for macOS in c/deathstranding

[–] penfore 2 points 2 months ago

There are a few games that comes with the native Apple Silicon binary already on Steam. But Steam itself is not native. Some games need to launch the native ARM for Apple binary through the files, others can already run through the client.

I found this list with some games: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43489522-Native-Apple-Silicon/ I don't know how frequently it is updated.

Steam (and other stores) lacks the native ARM version for macOS (self.deathstranding)

Death Stranding has a native version of the game for macOS with Arm chips that you can buy from the Apple Store.

Here are a few benchmarks on how it runs:

MacBook Air M1 8GB: https://youtu.be/Pf4bCpR99kg
MacBook Air M2 16GB: https://youtu.be/uzSFsTuktEs
MacBook Air M3 24GB: https://youtu.be/7X1KrqiR6Rk

I wish I had found the tests on the 8GB versions of all the chips, but I couldn't.

The thing is, even though the game is already ported and running very well on these chips, they do not sell it on more popular (and useful) stores like Steam, Epic and GOG.

I have the game on Epic (it was free) and have played through on my Linux desktop computer running Fedora. I wanted to buy the game to play on my MacBook Air M3 while traveling and because is lighter, but I really don't want to buy it on the Apple Store and not be able to play on other platforms later.

I believe they should release this version on other stores, even if it's needed to buy it again.
