Game Mode is available for Mac models with Apple Silicon, particularly those with an M-series chip. This implies that it unfortunately won't work on Intel-based Macs such as yours.

X Rebirth (Video Game) - stuck at loading screen on Mac Mini M2 I installed X Rebirth (bought through GOG.com) on my Mac mini M2 but when I launch it I'm stuck at the loading screen. I've read from people who bought the game in the Mac App Store that they got it to run on the Mac mini m1 and on a m3 MacBook as well so I'm wondering if its possible to get it to run on my Mac mini M2, too?

Why is Star Wars KOTOR 2 game not loading on my MacBook Air? I downloaded the game a while ago from the app store, I couldn't get the support section to work from the game people who made the game. I was wondering if anyone was out there that can help. I get to the first screen, which says v1.0.2 click on the big play button, but nothing happens. The game doesn't load at all. I have Mac OS 12.7.6 installed. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
