ACTUAL STATE OF THE GAME MACOS

It's hard to escape the feeling that they do it on purpose. I know rationally that that's implausible, but....

after every single patch, it becomes unplayable.

I would never allow any other game to make me feel bad the way this one does. It's seductive - that belief that, this time, GGG isn't going to laugh at me for having spent money in their shop again. This time, they'll see my paltry 120$ as actually pretty good money to pay for a game. They'll want that $120 this time - they won't throw it away just because work is a drag.

Every time I feel like "wow they finally fixed this dumb 1998 level problem" - they throw it in my face again.

Fix This Dumb Problem. It's absurd to make it the user's responsibility to craft a janky path to a separate folder or perform magical ceremonies to trick a game into working.

It doesn't require undue amounts of system resources. There's not a good excuse for it. Hardware isn't the issue. GGG needs to feel on the hook for this.

I suggest bringing up their repeated failures in chats & threads regarding POE2. Offering them money has only emboldened them. If they want me to be a whale they need to seduce me waaaaaay better than "crash to desktop immediately on the rare occasion a server connection is made".

This is very easy, either the employee who masters the game's programming on MacOS is on vacation or GGG does not prioritize having the game on MacOS and they do not invest a dollar in making it work.
Since patch 3.25 came out I have not been able to even log in on my MacMini M1 with the fully updated iOS.
I have been playing since the game was in beta... and now I have more time... and it is frustrating not being able to play in August.

Try one of those options - https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Guide:Path_of_Exile_on_Mac_using_Windows_Client
Can also join the discord

Thank you.
I'm running the portingkit version and let's say it's not wow like before patch 3.25 but it's indeed more playable and easy to log in.
Awakened poe trade macos version works nice with this

You can also run the Windows version of PoB with portingkit (or one of the other options on the wiki).

I can sign OPs words and agree with everything. I have exactly the same problems on my MacBook M3 Pro. (steam Client)
