[Feat/macOS] Add Support for Apple's Gaming Toolkit #2787

flavioislima · 2023-06-08T17:15:25Z

With this, Heroic will look for a current setup of the apple's GPT and list it under the Wine List:

So far it works for Epic games, GOG and also Sideloaded games.

Testers Needed!

HOW TO TEST: EPIC and GOG Games

To download the build to test, go bellow under 'CHECKS' and build_macOS click on details. Then on the page that will open, click on SUMMARY. And then go to ARTIFACTS and download the build for your system.
Since this build is NOT signed (only releases are), you need to first run this command on the terminal: xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine PATH_TO/Heroic.app
Make sure you have installed the gaming porting toolkit following the Install instructions provided by Apple.
Make sure Spotlight is enabled and the command mdfind wine64 returns something on the terminal.
[IMPORTANT] If you want to use the Apple scripts, copy the 3 scripts (gamingportingtoolkit...) to $HOME/bin folder, otherwise Heroic won't be able to find them.
Try to run some games and make sure it is working already.
When opening Heroic, go to Settings and on Game default check if, under WINE, it shows the list of the 3 gaming toolkit scripts as below and well the standalone wine (wine-7.7):
Download and install some Windows games from EPIC or GOG and select the Script you want to use on the game wine settings.
Use new prefixes instead of reusing an existing ones. If you have DXVK installed on the prefix, the game might not work.

Sideloaded Games

Tested only Steam so far
Click on ADD GAMES on the library.
Fill in the title as you want.
Select the Gaming Toolkit script you want to use.
Click on RUN INSTALLER FIRST and select the exe you want to install
The app will be installed inside the prefix
On Select EXE, select the exe to run the app, for instance: /Users/name/Games/GPT_PREFIX/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/Steam.exe
Click Finish

Use the following Checklist if you have changed something on the Backend or Frontend:

Tested the feature and it's working on a current and clean install.
Tested the main App features and they are still working on a current and clean install. (Login, Install, Play, Uninstall, Move games, etc.)
Created / Updated Tests (If necessary)
Created / Updated documentation (If necessary)

MCChristor · 2023-06-08T17:44:40Z

Nope, won't show anything.

flavioislima · 2023-06-08T18:03:32Z

Nope, won't show anything.

What does this command shows on the terminal?
mdfind gameportingtoolkit-no-hud

MCChristor · 2023-06-08T18:09:38Z

2023-06-08 20:09:11.155 mdfind[95121:3444646] [UserQueryParser] Loading keywords and predicates for locale "de_DE"
2023-06-08 20:09:11.156 mdfind[95121:3444646] [UserQueryParser] Loading keywords and predicates for locale "de"

mavethee · 2023-06-08T18:16:13Z

Same thing as on regular release, here's what that command is outputing:

mdfind gameportingtoolkit-no-hud

2023-06-08 20:06:08.862 mdfind[65030:444945] [UserQueryParser] Loading keywords and predicates for locale "pl_PL"
2023-06-08 20:06:08.862 mdfind[65030:444945] [UserQueryParser] Loading keywords and predicates for locale "pl"
/usr/local/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit/1.0/gameportingtoolkit-no-hud
/usr/local/bin/gameportingtoolkit-no-hud

Using Whisky's bottle and with Terminal usage, Control works.

cd ~/Games/Heroic/Control && MTL_HUD_ENABLED=1 WINEESYNC=1 WINEPREFIX=/Users/$(whoami)/Library/Containers/com.isaacmarovitz.Whisky/Bottles/Heroic /usr/local/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit/1.0/bin/wine64 "/Users/$(whoami)/Games/Heroic/Control/Control_DX12.exe"

With Heroic, nope. just quits, tried to log it but it's just backend things.
Side note: Using Whisky as I was a bit bothered by setting up Wine in Terminal ended up using it.
With Apple's defined prefix same behavior.

flavioislima · 2023-06-08T18:55:04Z

@MCChristor @mavethee Ok I think I know the issue.
Can you try to copy the 3 scripts files to your homefolder/bin?
This is one step I did and might be the reason why is not working for you.

This is not explicit in the Apple Readme, it just says to copy them to your PATH. Since $HOME/bin is inside the path, I copied them there.

EDIT: I can confirm that if you do not copy the scripts to this folder Heroic cannot find them, I have updated the testing instructions.

@flavioislima Done but still same thing, Heroic can't launch anything.

flavioislima · 2023-06-08T20:03:45Z

@mavethee but now the list appears in Heroic, right?

My luck with games is varying as well, So far the ones that worked for me were:

Abzu
Greek
Creature in The well
Grime
Disco Elysim
Death's Door

But I am downloading more and also testing Steam. That runs fine but I tried Yakuza Like a Dragon and Death Stranding and they did not work.

EDIT:
I was able to play Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night just fine now from Steam using Heroic.

mavethee · 2023-06-08T20:16:30Z

@mavethee but now the list appears in Heroic, right?

My luck with games is varying as well, So far the ones that worked for me were:

@flavioislima I think it prevents me from my luck here:

/usr/local/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit/1.0/gameportingtoolkit:13: command not found: brew

That's if to trust Heroic game logs :P
I have set brew default set depending on arch set in shell and eventual alias 'ibrew' for x64 instance so idk weird.

that's weird, I also have two brews installed but I did not did add the second one, the x64, to my path. So in my case it is using the default brew for arm64.

flavioislima · 2023-06-08T20:28:16Z

@mavethee I also haven't copied the scripts like you to this folder, I have copied only the lib folder to it. Using the Ditto command like specified on the readme:
ditto /Volumes/Game\ Porting\ Toolkit-1.0/lib/ /usr/local/bin/brew --prefix game-porting-toolkit/lib/

And then manually I have copied the 3 scripts files to the bin folder inside my home folder.
That is the only place I have them.

mavethee · 2023-06-08T21:09:18Z

ditto /Volumes/Game\ Porting\ Toolkit-1.0/lib/ /usr/local/bin/brew --prefix game-porting-toolkit/lib/

@flavioislima I have done exact same thing so I don't really know whats the issue.

lightningxcookie · 2023-06-08T22:49:51Z

Does this work on macOS Ventura?

HyeokjinKang · 2023-06-09T05:50:12Z

I tried running Steam with the most recent build, but the "run installer first" button doesn't do anything. Please refer to the video.
I installed portingkit as directed by Apple and moved all necessary files to $HOME/bin. Is there something I'm missing?

pakkographic · 2023-06-09T09:57:59Z

Does this work on macOS Ventura?

Nope as it requires Game porting toolkit beta which is only available on macOS Sonoma, and this tool requires Xcode 15 and Xcode 15 Command line tools

pakkographic · 2023-06-09T10:01:27Z

Btw, can't launch anything with Heroic too

flavioislima · 2023-06-09T10:06:08Z

Does this work on macOS Ventura?

Sonoma Only.

flavioislima · 2023-06-09T10:12:27Z

@mavethee what the command: which brew shows on the terminal?
For me it shows:
/usr/local/bin/brew

Can you also try not using Whisky? And remove the env vars as well? Let's try it vanilla as possible for now.

I am thinking on trying a different approach on this PR and try using the wine64 binary that is distributed with the porting kit.

But I tried this before and I could not have the same results, but maybe I missed something.
I will send an update today or during the weekend with this so you can all try as well.

For me, its working fine, even running games from Steam. And I just follow the Apple's Read me, letter by letter.

pakkographic · 2023-06-09T10:15:17Z

Everything works fine when I'm outside of Heroic, it happened even with my Crossover bottle, and can't run games anymore, that's maybe because I changed my PC's user name, so Heroic thinks that he should use the old user folder. I changed every path in the Heroic launcher and it still doesn't work

flavioislima · 2023-06-09T10:15:51Z

This is a log from ABZU in my case. It is running just fine and I used the same build we have here to make sure it is not a packaging issue:

@pakkographic

Hmm, thats weird but yes, Heroic stores the home folder in a JSON file as a form of caching since we need it in several places like when installing a game or setting up the prefix.
You can find this configuration under: ~/Library/Application\ Support/heroic/store/config.json
Delete the userHome key.
Also delete the user name from /Users/flavio/Library/Application\ Support/heroic/config.json

flavioislima · 2023-06-09T10:21:26Z

can you try running Heroic from terminal?
go to the folder where you have the Heroic.app and run:
./Heroic.app/Contents/MacOS/Heroic

Check what happens when you click the Run Installer First.

if it shows some error, try changing the script to another one (no-hud or no-esync for instance)

mavethee · 2023-06-09T10:37:23Z

@pakkographic
CrossOver is broken on macOS 14, needs downgrade to CX 22.1.1 if you're using nightlies and patching with CXPatcher as it contains fixes for macOS 14, but still using CX at current state of their DX12 approach vs GPT/GPTK (damn acronyms confusion) is a bit pointless unless you need DX9/DX10 games which are not working/broken support for now.

@mavethee what the command: which brew shows on the terminal? For me it shows: /usr/local/bin/brew

@flavioislima I have it set depending on which arch in shell I'm currently using:

for arch=arm64e zsh:
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew

for arch -x86_64 zsh:
/usr/local/bin/brew

Can you also try not using Whisky? And remove the env vars as well? Let's try it vanilla as possible for now.

Sure thing, will use Apple's prefix renaming it to Heroic, as I assume naming isn't harmful much.

Well here's the log, same case it seems:

Game Settings: {
	"autoInstallDxvk": false,
	"autoInstallVkd3d": true,
	"preferSystemLibs": false,

Well I solely focus on running it from Heroic as it runs way better than macOS Steam app, could always link them to my Porting Toolkit app that runs Steam bottle but yeah, I assume it's the same case as running it from Terminal.

We will see how it goes.

Thanks for your work so far tho, I didn't expect someone will take a look on that this fast hah!

Have you installed the toolkit or just downloaded the files from Apple? You need to run the commands and compile the code on your machine. So it will show like the output above.
I haven't installed the toolkit from brew, I've just downloaded the DMG.
The DMG has only the complementary files. You need to install from Brew like it's on the dmg Readme.

I didn't knew, thanks for the help I will try

I've just downloaded the latest build, tried to launch it and I've got “Heroic.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

Read the instructions on the PR.

As the description of this PR states

Since this build is NOT signed (only releases are), you need to first run this command on the terminal: xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine PATH_TO/Heroic.app

What a shame. Sorry for that.

When running a game with Game Porting Toolkit with Heroic, it launches an explorer window, that's all, when you try to launch the game through the explorer, the game crashes.

Issue: #2832

vapidinfinity · 2023-07-13T14:12:20Z

same problem with me
#2858

BebopSpikeSpiegel · 2023-07-13T14:58:11Z

options for gptk won't show for me, added the scripts to $HOME/bin and mdfind can find everything. not sure what's wrong.

Installed heroic from brew, and I can confirm the game is running through gptk by directly using terminal to open it.

Can I get the DMG file for Apple silicon?

Can I get the DMG file for Apple silicon?

https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/2787/checks

Click on build macOS, then arm64

Since this build is NOT signed (only releases are), you need to first run this command on the terminal: xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine PATH_TO/Heroic.app (so you can open the app without any error message)
