Nov 4, 2018 - Use Porting Kit and install 'Spintires: MudRunner' on macOS using Wineskin technology.
The game was successfully Kickstarted a number of months ago and just recently debuted on Steam to rave reviews. Despite being gorgeous to look at, the game is actually built to run on a wide range of systems, which makes it a great candidate for the sometimes underpowered Macs many of us use for gaming. Let's put it to the test! CrossOver As Spintires is a brand new game, there is no official entry for it on the official CrossOver compatibility list. As there are no custom settings available for the game in CrossOver, I used the default settings for an 'unsupported' game but was met with no success.
Looks like we'll have to try something else. Parallels As expected, a Parallels install of the game was smooth with no issues or lockups. Upon starting the game, I found the FPS to be extremely low, thanks in large part to the game's decision to give me relatively high pre-set graphics settings as a starting point. With all the bells and whistles enabled I was getting roughly 15 frames per second during gameplay.
For a game like this, that mark isn't going to work. I disabled motion blur, toned down the anti-aliasing, and put particle effects and textures on low. With these settings I was able to get an easy 30 frames per second, which makes the game 100% playable and still a treat to look at. After messing around with some of the Parallels settings, I found the following to be optimal for my particular Mac: Parallels 9 settings:. CPUs: 6 (out of 8).
Memory: 10GB (out of 16GB). Video memory: 1GB. Performance: Faster Virtual Machine.
Power: Better Performance Depending on your own hardware these settings may or may not be your best bet, but it's a great place to start. Boot Camp There were no surprises with the Boot Camp install, and the game tossed me to the title screen instantly.
Unlike a few of the other games I've tested, Boot Camp offers a noticeable boost in performance for Spintires. I was able to easily get a solid 30 frames per second with medium settings, as opposed to low, which was the only way to run the game at an acceptable rate in Parallels. This means you'll get the added bonus of some more fancy particle effects, greater draw distance for foliage like grass and trees, and an overall more enjoyable experience.
Verdict You have a couple of options with Spintires, and while we'll have to wait and see if a decent CrossOver option emerges down the road, playing the game in either Parallels or Boot Camp is totally doable. Boot Camp will give you a boost this time around, which is great if you already have your computer set up for it, but if you're a Parallels devotee, there's still a lot of fun to be had.
31 October Hello everyone! It's the end of October, and with that comes another Community Update, as I'm sure you all have been expecting.

After that, we released The Valley, the first of three DLCs, which introduced one large new map to the game, and three new vehicles! Then,.in May, we released The Ridge., which introduced not only a new map and two new vehicles, but also.a challenging new game mode, Scavenge,. which tasked you with recovering lost lumber from around the map, instead of collecting it from lumber mills. Then, just this last week, on October 23rd, Spintires: MudRunner - American Wilds was released, a brand new premium DLC that introduced nine new vehicles to the game, and two new maps!
