Game Unplayable on M1 Mac

Playing on a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro on Monterey 12.3 and am experiencing constant lag, freezes and glitchy visuals since the last update that make the game unplayable. I love POE and it's super disappointing feeling like I'm not going to be able to enjoy the game for the upcoming sentinel league, do we know if there's any action being taken on this?

I want to concur with this post. I use an M1 Mac Mini and at certain times the screen is completely torn up from huge triangles with lines in them. Sometimes the lines are red and white sometimes they are dark gray.

I too am having issues on my MacM1. the graphics could cause epileptic seizures if I were prone to such. the screwy graphics make some maps and areas unplayable. fighting blind is no way to advance. my wife thinks that we need to buy a PC to have the game play correctly. I'm not in agreement as a PC would be several hundred dollars that could be better spent elsewhere. I thought that with the new management arrangement that things would be worked out and was excited to hear that POE was available on Mac. But the graphics are just horrible, lag and cpu spikes. when it's decent it's good game to play but I have noticed that with each league things have gotten worse. Please make a real patch for Mac users so there are no medical emergencies due to playing this game. In game name Dead Mule.

MAC is a beta client that it looks like GGG isn't really working on.....

Given the speed of the M1 chipset, you would think that GGG would be courting the Mac crowd. Sadly not so. I suppose that I'll have to buy a cheap PC just to play POE. Sad :(

Sure it was beta in 2020 but it's 2023. It's not beta anymore. It's just something else GGG isn't assigning any resources to fixing.

There are many posts about issues on MacOS. The game is virtually unplayable when it starts. This has been around since at least 3.17.4. How many forums posts does it take till something that is game breaking for MacOS users get fixed ? Or is the prevailing attitude from GGG to "just use the Windows client", which by the way has the same issues.

Well as much of the other things "silently" done by GGG, I say this is one more of the "get the hint" things.......

I have uninstalled POE and will try reinstalling the game. If that doesn't work, I'll be looking for another RPG and the wife will be looking for a cheap PC.

uninstalled and attempted to reinstall using the windows client and boot camp on my M1. gave it several tries. Game doesn't load and allocated space is NOT the issue, 100Gb was more than enough. still not loading so I've consigned GGG and POE to the dustbin until the wife buys a PC or I find another RPG game. sad to go but sadder still at the lack of attention given to glaring errors that needed fixing in the game for some time. GGG support, if you come out with a real fix for Mac users, let me know and I'll give it a shot.

You really should just post your own thread, dead_mule.

OP created this one nearly a year ago, you aren’t attempting to help them, and they’re likely sick of the notifications they get sent when there’s people posting in a thread they’ve started.
