With Patch 3, Baldur’s Gate 3 is now fully supported on Mac!
As with the PC release in August, saves made in previous versions of BG3 on Mac will not be compatible with the full release. To prepare your Mac for the full version of Baldur’s Gate 3 and minimise potential compatibility issues, we recommend you fully uninstall the game and remove any mods before installing the latest version.
The minimum and recommended specs for Mac users have also been updated: we recommend an M1 Pro processor and FSR enabled to run the game at high or ultra settings on a Retina display. Check the Steam store page for more details.
Mac players, thank you for your patience – now, gather your party and venture forth.
So does that mean we get the patch early? Or do we get the Mac version and then a new patch the next day? Or worse, is the Mac a patch behind the PC version?
Using Crossover and bg3dx11.exe on my M2 Macbook Pro I’ve been able to sink at least 160 hours (3 multiplayer campaigns, one complete solo campaign, and starting a second solo) into the game so far. Even most mods are playing nicely (if they support manual installs).
I’m excited for the official macOS release so that hopefully I won’t have to deal with weird graphical bugs and Act 3 won’t slow down as much.
I was desperate and played the first few hours on my M2 MacBook Air in a Parallels Windows 11 ARM Machine. Beside some graphic glitches it worked kinda well enough.
Parallels was rough, couldn’t get Crossover to work at first, and also played the first few hours in a Windows VM. Did you also have missing textures everywhere?
