I’m primarily a Mac user, and do all of my creative work on a Mac, including making my avatars. There are some limitations but it’s mostly worked pretty okay. Unfortunately, a future version of macOS will no longer include the Intel emulation, and the ancient Unity version that the VRChat SDK is st…

Ah, nice, hopefully that comes before macOS yeets Intel support into the sun.

How is macos for remote desktop software? Like I’ve used parsec to access my windows PC from a Linux desktop, but also moonlight or maybe you could steam remote play access to it

It works just as well as it does on Windows (and Microsoft even provides an RDP app which integrates perfectly), but Unity isn’t super friendly especially when there’s any added latency with mouse operations and so on. Remote desktop is how I’ve had to do some things (like setting up shaders which …

Ooof, RDP. last time I used RDP it was painful. The last time I tried RDP was back in 2021 when one of my PCs died, and Parsec wouldn’t really run on a Raspberry Pi 3. Instead of RDP I’d suggest either Parsec, Steam, or maybe a Moonlight+Sunshine combo. Parsec is okay with UAC prompts, with moonlig…

I haven’t tried it yet on my Mac (as I do all my avatar stuff on an x86_64 linux machine), but I was recently looking at a project called “Whisky” (frankea/Whisky on github) which is a wrapper around Wine 11 for MacOS with support for various game launchers. Looks to be reasonably active (latest co…

That’s interesting, and I wonder if it would at least solve the problems I currently have with the non-Metal-compatible shaders (notably Warren’s Fast Fur). But given that it’s based on Wine I’d expect it to rely on Rosetta to work, unfortunately, but it seems that Rosetta’s gotten a stay of executi…

Yeah, I just gave it a shot and Rosetta being installed was considered a pre-requisite. Also the whole thing just plain didn’t quite work right; winetricks wasn’t installed and so I couldn’t get the VCRedist and dx11 installed and such ugh what a mess. Maybe I was somehow doing something wrong, bu…

The issue is more that any project using the VRC SDK has to use a version of Unity that’s compatible with it, and currently the only version of Unity that’s compatible is Intel-only. Unity isn’t super happy with changing the editor version on a project, especially not downgrading. Hopefully what @n…
