Anyone else playing on Apple silicon? (lemmy.world)

I’ve been playing the game since it was released on Switch. It was actually pretty great. But heck, there were a lot of crashes.

I’m playing on my M1 Max now and it’s brilliant. The detail it’d been missing out on…!

I know Mac’s aren’t known for gaming but I’m so glad that this game was one of the first that got ported over to Mac silicon.

The only issue I have is that my controller drops out and reconnects every 15 mins. Have to wire it in to avoid the drop outs. Have reported the issue to hello games.

Yeah that’s interesting. I’m using a PS5 controller as that was recommended for Mac. I’ve also tried with my Switch Pro controller. Same deal with both. Drops out after 15mins when on wireless. When wired it’s all good.

Also NMS is the only game so far the this happens with. I’ve tried it with Bastion and wireless never drops out.

I think it has something to do with NMS and Steam not agreeing on the status of the controller. I think steam by default shuts it down after 15mins. There’s a setting for that and I switched it off but it didn’t fix the issue.

Maybe with more people reporting it will get bumped up the bug fix schedule.
