[OSX] Unofficial Path of Exile port - 30/12/2018 status update

Im using this on a macbook air 13 in with 6000 intel hd graphics, 4gb ram, 1.6ghz intel i5, and OS X yosemite 10.10.4 . i am using version 5 (recommended). The game starts, i do the cmd enter and it goes fullscreen. Then it loads the menu after like 5-10 minutes and it freezes. This last time the screen froze and was still on GGG loading screen while sound kept going of the menu.

Edit: when i do the 3 finger scroll thing to open up the different programs opened and click on the black program behind the loading screen (don't know how to explain this better) it brings up the black screen for just a moment and in the middle it shows the box that says Failed resetting Direct3D device objects. after about .2 seconds that it shows that it switches back to the loading screen thats frozen with music still playing.

Edit 2: I tried it again after editing the file with fullscreen=true and changing the resolution to 900x1440. When the game froze this time it opened up a box that said "The program PathOfExile.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". On the bottom it says "This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check Application Database for tips about running this application". What to do now?

Just downloaded the v6 and it works now.

I'm having some issues that for some reason just cropped up. The client doesn't start at all, despite restarts and /tmp deletions. I tried with both versions, 5 and 6. 6 installed and downloaded the .content once, but when it ran I got a blank "error" crash. After that, no amount of replacement downloads or restarts will make it run. I forced it to run through Wineskin's Test Run, but just clicking the application did nothing. Thoughts? I'm on Yosemite.
Holla!
I can confirm v6 works on this Mid 2013 13" baseline MacBook Air with Yosemite! I logged into sarn encampment and am able to grind. But, I need to complete a full playthrough to verify if there are any crashes or not.

People who has sound issues: Getting into Options -> Sound and switching to Generic `Software` based built-in IO (from `Hardware` based) worked charms for me.

Another issue I noticed is that if I make changes to the graphics settings, the game/emulator crashes. But hell, it wont drop fps much so it should be bearable (except with mobs with lots of effects such as triple projectile dogs in docks). Having said that, I did not try changing settings from config before launch. I will try that if needed.

Any chance this will work when Awakening comes out?
v6 seems to work (so far) on my system:

Model Name: MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013)
Processor: Intel Core i7, 1.7 GHz
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB
OS: 10.10.4 OS X Yosemite

I've only just downloaded and tried it with my Horde-Herder (Summoner Witch), and while there was a noticeable hiccup for certain spells, it was definitely playable in Act 3 on Cruel. I did notice that, for one of the treasure boxes, once I defeated all the guardian mobs the entire program froze for ~6 seconds while the loot was being generated and "spewed" out" :)

I'm at work, so I can't do a LOT of testing, but I'll fiddle about later when I get home from work.

Thanks so much for all your incredible work on this!
Just an FYI, the problems (crashing bug) described here exist in OSX Wine as well. Playing the beta worked great until the 7/8 patch, whereupon it became utterly unplayable. Probably something to look at before Awakening launch, or hope GGG does, otherwise this thread is gonna be bombarded.

Can anyone else confirm if i'm the only one getting the crazy fps spikes. Everytime I use a skill for the first time in an instance or if I see a new enemy casting a skill for the first time it fps lags crazy, other than that the fps i get is around 20-30 with runescape graphics.

Haven't played in awhile. Just wondering if this will work with the new expansion.
