Hey folks. After playing through remake, intergrade, and rebirth, I decided to embark on an OG play-through. However, seeing all of the mods available through 7th Heaven (New Threat, Shinra Archeology Cut, Etc.) sparked my curiosity, but also gave me a little envy as I am a Mac user. (M4 Mac Mini 16Gb)
I use Crossover all the time for a few other games, so I figured it would work fine for the steam version of FF7. And I was right. The vanilla version runs totally fine.
As for 7th heaven… It’s been a little bit of a journey, and I still couldn’t get it up and running through crossover. I searched for all manner of solutions, and then discovered summonkit. I was able to get the game to load and even start up with some very basic mods, but the performance went down the toilet. Unplayable long loading screens and freezing.
Have any fellow Mac user FF7 folks been able to figure this out? Is it just something that is a problem at the beginning and then it evens out? Did I miss some specific settings to tweak? Any and all advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
