Playonmac crashing

[lolf5982]

Hi.

 

I play on my MacBook Pro on PlayonMac.

 

The game seems to crash all the time for me.

When I log in, my game blurs (?) from the character selection screen. Then, after a while in the game (I can't even go to apartments, yacht, beach, etc), my menu screen (Chat, settings, clothes things on the bottom) disappears and soon my game crashes. 

 

Anyone else experience this crash/lag? Anyone know how to fix them?

 

Thank you so much!

You could try using the previous version of PlayOnMac (4.2.9). 4.2.10 caused flickering issues for me.

 

There was also an issue with Intel Iris embedded graphics. As you have a MacBook then you probably have Iris. It works fine on my iMac with a dedicated GPU. I haven't tested on my laptop to see if that works.

 

The only real fix is to install Windows in a boot camp partition or a Virtual Machine, but you will need a powerful Mac for a good experience with a VM. You will also have to purchase a Windows license.

 

I play using PlayOnMac. The only issue I have is being unable to add photos to my gallery. So I have to fire up my VM to add pictures.

Did you raise the video memory in the PlayonMac properties? 

 

on default its not high enough. You can raise it up to 4096MB than the flickering should stop. At least it worked for me.

 

You find it under configuration of PlayOnMac

This is just an option to „PlayOnMac“.

 

I use Parallels & Windows 7 since 2 years and it works absolutely stable

Thanks, Kashara. I have now upgraded to the latest version of PlayOnMac. I now get shadows and fixes an issue I was having with uploading images to my gallery. I have not tested on my MacBook yet, but it works well on my iMac
