Space Engineers Forum

I got this to work on Crossover 24.01 Mac by modifying the current default Space Engineers install that is supplied in the following way:

Change from Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit
Add dotnet 4.8
Add visual C++ 2015 64 bit

Everything else as default.
Game loads, sound works, graphics display correct, can move around etc etc. It even works well on my very loaded custom server with mods.
Only two issues I've found which I'm sure is just my noob ignorance around crossover are:
1 - The x key on the keyboard doesn't seem to work (no jetpack), pretty limiting.
2 - I can't drag items out of the inventory with the mouse - they I can hear it is making a single click kind of sound - very limiting.

If you get a black screen, just press space, it seems to load into a screen saver mode or something.

Anyone got any ideas about the 2 problems above?

Wine Configuration: Defaults

Hi, I'm wondering if your on an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac? I tried replicating your configuration on my M2 Pro and I'm still getting the same black textures glitch that makes it unplayable.

Thanks for testing. Worked for me pretty darn well. I got no issues after going ingame. Jetpack and inventory seem to be working decently. I play on M1 max macbook. Didn’t require external display or anything like that.

Had to hit space bar when the intro video was supposed to run. It was just a blank screen.

Played for an hour or two.. Had few crashes when doing more CPU heavy stuff. Also, shadows had to be turned off as they gave so annoying flickers.

is dot net different from net framework? as I see 4.8 is already in the bottle. Also would you install these after installing the bottle? or before if thats possible?

Also what version of crossover are you using? As I am wondering if that is a factor in all this. Which I hope isnt the case

I'd assume he is on M series mac, but we will have to see if he responds. Just curious have you had any luck since this post?

Crossover Preview 20240925 fixed the black textures issue for me. Game is pretty much playable now. I was able to simply make a Steam bottle and install Space Engineers without having to do any special tweaks.
