Steam for Mac with NotProton or CrossOver passes the compatibility tool a path inside its app bundle, below the folder with config/loginusers.vdf, and the tool's stand-in keeps no record of the running client, so the launcher said Steam was not running and started offline. It now looks up from that path for config/loginusers.vdf, and when started by the native Steam client under Wine takes its most recent account where the running-client checks fail. Windows and Proton, where those checks pass, are unchanged. The offline panel's hint about the launch option shows only under Wine. MACOS-SETUP.md gives the launch option (/bin/bash, ROSETTA_ADVERTISE_AVX=1 for the game's CPU check) for the launcher in a folder of its own.

# ReSkate on macOS (Steam for Mac + NotProton / CrossOver)
|
|
|
|
ReSkate has no macOS build. It runs through a Wine-based Steam compatibility tool on top of the
|
|
Steam for Mac client, set up much like Linux (see the README). Found and first tested by codejunky
|
|
on an M1 Pro with macOS 26 and NotProton on CrossOver 26.3: the launcher showed *Welcome, <your
|
|
name>* and the game reached the Hub.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Install skate. with Steam for Mac.
|
|
2. Install the compatibility tool, then in Steam → skate. → Properties → Compatibility, force it.
|
|
3. Put `ReSkateLauncher.exe` and `ReSkate.dll` in a new, empty folder of their own, for example
|
|
`~/Games/ReSkate` (not Steam's skate. folder: the launcher refuses to run from there).
|
|
4. In Steam → skate. → Properties → Launch Options, enter this with your own folder's path:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/bin/bash -c 'export ROSETTA_ADVERTISE_AVX=1; exec "${@/*EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe//Users/you/Games/ReSkate/ReSkateLauncher.exe}"' -- %command%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Press **Play** on skate. in your Steam library. Start it from Steam rather than running the
|
|
launcher yourself: the launcher finds your Steam account through what Steam gives the
|
|
compatibility tool. The first time, it installs its own copy of the game into that folder.
|
|
|
|
### Why this launch option
|
|
|
|
- **`/bin/bash`, not `bash`.** Steam for Mac runs a launch option directly, without a shell, so
|
|
`bash` alone fails to start (*Failed to spawn process*, OS error 260); the full path works.
|
|
- **`ROSETTA_ADVERTISE_AVX=1`.** Without it the game stops at a *Below Min Spec* dialog: it checks
|
|
that the CPU reports F16C and OSXSAVE, which Rosetta 2 runs but does not report unless told to.
|
|
It has to be set before Wine starts, so it goes in the launch option.
|
|
- **The `${@/…/…}` swap** is the Linux one: Steam would start EA's anti-cheat launcher, which does
|
|
not run under Wine, and this starts ReSkate's launcher in its place.
|
|
|
|
The setup above, with the launcher in a folder of its own, has not been tested on a Mac yet (it was
|
|
first tested with the launcher beside `Skate.exe`, the setup ReSkate used then).
|
|
|
|
## If the launcher says Steam is not running
|
|
|
|
The launcher reads the signed-in account from Steam's `config/loginusers.vdf`. Under a Wine-based
|
|
tool on macOS, Steam points the tool inside its app bundle rather than at that folder, and the tool
|
|
keeps no record of the running Steam client where Windows has one; the launcher looks up from the
|
|
bundle for `config/loginusers.vdf` and, started by Steam this way, takes the account it marks as
|
|
most recent. If it still says Steam is not running, check that skate. was started from the Steam
|
|
library with the launch option above, and that Steam is signed in.
