Thinking of updating Mac OS

[JQP]

Hi everyone. I am thinking about updating to the new MacOS in a couple of weeks, once 12.1 comes out. Currently running 10.14 which I believe is the most updated version that will support the 32 bit Wine client. Anyone having any luck with playing in a OS 11 environment? I assume that the only way to go will be a windows emulator or Bootcamp (if Apple still has it). The Wine client is that last legacy application that I use these days so the case for not updating is not as strong as it was for me last October.

Can't think of why it won't work. Unless you have an M1 Mac. I got the ARM version of Windows 11 running great on my M1, but DDO wouldn't play. Got all the way to logging onto a server, then nothing.

But on an Intel Mac? Should work fine. Unless DDO is having general Windows 11 issues (even on Windows machines).

Hello, mate.

Try entering "options" before you enter a server. Then select "32-bit client" instead of "64-bit client".

I guess it will work.

This works for me. Trying to use the 64-bit client on Windows 11 ARM on an M1 Mac crashes the client immediately. Selecting the 32-bit client, things work fine. Though it does crash a bit more often when zoning than I see on BootCamp Macs.

I have found performance (MacMini M1 with 16GB, 4k screens), better than expected.

I ended up getting a new MacBook with and M1 chip. Bootcamp is not an option. Has anyone had any success with Crossover?
