Steam/standolne client not working on macos

I've had this same struggle forever on my M1 Pro, finally took the plunge and tried the Porting Kit https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Guide:Path_of_Exile_on_Mac_using_Windows_Client#portingkit_(PK)_Setup approach and honestly, the game runs SO much better. Unfortunately I lose a bit of screen real estate behind the Mac's screen notch, but it's a minor annoyance and can at least blast. Follow the instructions above and I'm sure you'll have a similar experience.

Hey Imanon,

I installed PortingKit and ran the Poe Windows installer under
Engine: WS12WineCX64Bit23.7.1-4 (no WS12kegworks in the list)
Operating system: Windows 10

Full game was installed but crash on startup and my production_Config.ini is empty...

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, what was your Engine ? WS12Kegworks ?

Eventually, can you copy the content of your production_Config.ini here, maybe it'll help me...

Thank you

Ah, I had Kegworks installed already, maybe that is why. Follow this guide if you want to try. https://machow2.com/how-to-use-kegworks-on-mac/

Here's my config stuff.
