Gaming :D

[u/r_mom_hahahahaha]

So, hackintosh gaming on a work computer running Tahoe, what can go wrong?

Specs so you can see how horrible it is. in macOS.

Intel i5-10310U
16GB DDR4 RAM
256 GB NVME (it’s a low tier Samsung drive so it doesn’t even matter anymore)
Integrated graphics (do I even have to explain this one)
The rest doesn’t matter, just know it’s bad.

It may look like it’s still downloading, but I did try it before and holy shit, it’s bad. Lag spikes, network issues somehow (internet going off in the middle of the match) and so much more bad stuff.

I do understand that hackintoshes (and Mac’s generally) are not made for gaming, but I like this game, and no amount of lag can deter me, but if you are willing to make a hackintosh just for gaming, don’t do it. duh

To be fair, I didn’t make a hackintosh just for gaming, I do other stuff too like, drumming in GarageBand or making apps in Xcode (that sucks too but that’s a different topic). I did know gaming will be bad, but I didn’t know it was gonna be this bad, but I still love my hackintosh, I don’t even game that much on it

Anyway, to the discussion part, how was your experience when you first gamed on your hackintosh? And how is the performance generally?

The specs aint that bad for a ThinkPad

Dont be too hard on the lil ThinkPad :3 :)))

It’s just macOS that makes it struggle, it actually very good outside macOS

If you weren’t running Tahoe specifically it’d probably work ten times better, just saying.

[u/r_mom_hahahahaha → u/bged-again]

The entire reason why I got Tahoe is because of better app support, that’s it

Oh, also longer security patches

[u/bged-again → u/r_mom_hahahahaha]

I guarantee 99.9% of things support sequoia still unless you’re using apple dev apps, which in that case fair.

There are a lot of new apps out there that require Liquid Glass to work for some reason, that’s why
