alt Hacker Newsi haven't tested it extensively but i tried dark souls 2 on parallels and there were vertex explosions making it unplayable, using crossover and whisky it was a jittery laggy mess. after seeing alyssa's talk i decided to load up asahi and it ran perfectly max resolution 60 fps locked. gaming on macos in my experience has been unplayable to the point where i gave up even trying. after my experience with ds2 i think that it's going to be significantly better.

How well do soulsbornes run on windows anyway?
My strong conviction is that From is pretty much technically inept when it comes to Windows ports so I just play their titles on console...
An emulated title that is in itself a not so great port will have trouble ofc...

What backend did you use? You get very different results if it defaults to MoltenVK versus d3dmetal
DS2 comes in both DX9 and DX11 flavours. The latter should work better with d3dmetal and is more comparable to what proton is doing.
