Login - update - should only take about 20 minutes if you are using the new installer. but I have an i5 and these are my recommended settings for this particular CPU If you have an i7 with a graphics card you may be able to use higher settings. Make sure you have hardware cursor enabled in legacy settings Turn off any extra effects or draw distance Set drawing accuracy to 512x512, 256x256 if you have heat issues later on, and don't mind it. Set your resolution to roughly half of your display resolution, play with it Run your ffxiconfig in program_files/SquareEnix/PlayOnline/*FFXI folder/toolsUS/
#Install crossover for mac install
Make sure you DON'T install DX8 - crossover should have you covered. Installer can usually be found in /usr/yourusername/Downloads/ - this is outside of your bottles "drive_c" and in your root directory of your mac. Make sure you don't change the installer paths on either pol, or ffxi. Locate and install FFXI from the installer, it can be either inside or outside of your bottles' "drive_c" doesn't matter Right click the bottle and de-select performance mode (as that will crash POL.exe)Ĭlick on run command, search for explorer.exe, run it ( its in the windows folder) it will auto-create a new bottle just for that software. Right click the bottle and click install software, MAKE SURE you click the bottle and not just install software on the bottom. You can skip this tip, but hey its your $1000-3000+ laptop/desktop with very little cooling or ventilation.ĭownload and install crossover 18.5 - not sure if XCODE is required, but it might be, so install that too.Ĭreate a windows 10 (non 64bit) bottle. The default fan profile will let your cpu get to 80☌ and I personally am not a fan of running a laptop or otherwise CPU over about 60☌.
I set mine to minimum 4000rpm when I am going to play. SmcFanController is also very useful if your macbook is compatible.
#Install crossover for mac how to
I have not figured out how to get windower to work yet with this method but I am working on getting that to work off and on, and hope to have a solution SOON™ I reinstalled OSX from scratch and used it with this method just to test it out. This DOES work with the new (FFXI) installer. I hope it helps out if you are trying to figure it out. I wrote this in the comments of another post for another mac user who was having issues with parallels, I thought I might post it up again so that others who are going through the same agony as I went through might find this guide and be able to easily install and play FFXI on their macs. *EDIT* - crossover 18.5 one version 75% off until jat which point it will be discontinued as a purchasable option.
