Installing PoE with Porting Kit on Mac

Hi everyone,

since the mac version of PoE is broken till month I want to try out installing it with Porting Kit.

I've read the instructions to install,which can be found here:
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Guide:Path_of_Exile_on_Mac_using_Windows_Client#portingkit_(PK)_Setup

Point 8. states:
"
Once that is done you need to check that you have renderer set to DirectX12 in the production_Config.ini file on an M series Mac. This file should be found in /Users/<username>/Documents/My Games/Path of Exile/ folder. Under the DISPLAY section find renderer_type. Change it to renderer_type=DirectX12. On Intel based systems the renderer setting must be set to renderer_type=Vulkan. Save the file once configured correctly.


So, here is my problem where I need your help.
When I open up the production_Config.ini, no matter what program is use to open it, it's completly empty.I've tried to just paste the
"
renderer_type=DirectX12
into it but it does not work.

How can I proceed?
Thx!

Have the exam same problem. Could you find a solution?
Not yet. Waiting for someone to give a clue

if you are doing this just after installing and have not launched the game then yeah, it's blank, you launch the game and it will populate with the default settings

Does not work.
When I start this error message appears:
