I've been playing through playcover for quite some time now and it runs really good except for the keymapping part and YAAGL looks promising too but man hoyo should just release the game for mac already
They could just do what Square Enix did with Final Fantasy XIV and release the Mac version as a CrossOver wrapper. It works perfectly fine except for a couple graphical features that aren't available when playing on a Mac, like dynamic resolution
@@ddnava96 It's easier than that. SO MANY game developers claim it's difficult to target macOS / M1, when, in fact, it isn't. It's laziness and/or the inability to admit the dev made mistakes in their build configuration and they're unable / too lazy to fix it. It's terribly sad, really.
Finally!! I had given up on playcover because the key mapping hurt the gameplay, but more importantly, because for some reason the game asked me to log in again and it wouldn’t let me, so I assumed I had to turn off SIP again 🙄 now I can play this with a much smoother experience! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I tried it on M1 Max, here are my observations: Frame rates hit the 60fps cap in most places at highest settings, highest resolution and 1.5x render scale. However there were significant frame drops (~7-15fps) when looking at Dragonspine (when you are in various places in Mondstadt, or even as far as Guyun Stone Forest, with your camera pointed at Dragonspine), and stuttering (~20-40fps) when roaming around Aaru village. Overall performance is very impressive, given that this game has to be translated to metal through vulkan and DX, as well as being translated to Arm64 from x86_64
why would you have render scale at 1.5x it doesn't make sense. If your monitor supports certain resolution it doesn't matter to go above that, only hurts your performance.
One thing I would like to ask is,how does it work,like do u have to log into your account each time or is it like an app folder that you open that links to the windows
I think this is gonna be the first time im gonna try it, ither tutorials altought good, they were too much hassle to care about. thanks for the shoutout on the new launcher and the great video as always!
Same, I don‘t understand why HoYo refuses to make an official Mac version, since it works just fine with different 3rd party tools. So it can‘t be technical issues… Maybe they think the userbase is too small? 😢
@@roykent2316 I don't get why they don't just enable the option to allow the iOS version to be installed on M1's. I played two of their betas for Honkai Star Rail and it allowed me to install on my m1. Ran like a dream.
Thanks! This works perfectly with my mac, was hesitant to try playcover but glad to find this. I downloaded the launcher on an external drive and it works as well. Here are some tips for anyone who also want to try this method: For the "Allocating files on disk" problem during the download process, try changing the external drive's format to APFS; Update your ios system to the latest, my screen was frozen a few times before the update.
did you check the file's size while it allocating? cuz it'll allocating for a while as part of downloading process, if the file size keeps increase during allocating then it means downloading, otherwise u may have to troubleshoot urself depends on devices and such, gl! @@rxns-jj4rt
Thanks for sharing. I tried the sideloaded playcover version you shared before but the key mapping was too uncomfortable so I just reverted to playing on my phone
i turn off everything in the background, keep connected to a power source, and run some external cooling like fans and keep the device on a surface that doesnt absorb heat@@mishamendelenko3301

hey guys, i have played on this YAAGL for a couple hours, and I found that except for the old map like liyue monstadt inazuma, the new desert map is kind of lagging, the snow mountain also is very laggy. my fps at the old city is kind of a maximum 59/60 but when i teleport to the new map it drop significantly to 3x 2x even 1x. the developer may need to put of a lot of work into this.
yeah it is, that is the genshin game itself there's no offline server or something, unless its a private server that you still otherwise need wifi.@@yunikuroo

Dear Andrew, you just saved me 600 bucks. I was getting so fed up with Playcover Genshin‘s dogshit graphics and keymapping issues, that I was seriously considering buying a PS5. But now I don‘t have to anymore! 😊 God bless you, keep up the great work! ❤
Tbh keymappings issues can be easily solved with a controller (which is supported on ios) i tried ds4 and ds5 controllers and they both work fine. Also, graphic really improved I can play at 140 average fps at 1440x3440 with really good results (for a mobile version obviously) and there is no more problem of low resolution etc... while in the pc version ur locked at 60 fps anf u can even get lower fps with emulation (and i dont talk about the fact u can be banned with this wine method)
Hey, i still have the fatal error message when downloading the game even if i put it in a new folder in Admin as you did... Edit: if you also have the same issue, do not download the same YAAGL version as shown in the video, try downloading the latest one
so about how long did "allocating files on disk" take? I've spent an hour on this and i don't think its doing anything. I'm using a APFS Sandisk Dual Drive with a M1 2020 Sonoma Mac. Is there something blocking it from downloading?
YAAGL needs to be updated, the latest ETA is 27th May. In the meantime I advise you to try the Parallels free trial and play using that method until the YAAGL fix comes: ruclips.net/video/0mN_B4VzS28/видео.html
Tried it today but I encountered a problem. “Yaagl OS” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. And its only giving me 2 option which is to move the file to the trash or cancel. Any idea on how I can make it work?
for some odd reason when I play the game in 4k the game runs perfectly on M1 Pro even when I look at dragon spine it stays a constant 60 fps but once I enter dragons-one I drop down to 30 fps so this runs perfectly fine but for everything else its a constant 60 fps
Hi Andrew! First of all, many thanks for the tutorial. Then, just a tiny question: how long does the launching of the game take approximately? I have been stuck in the page "Game is running (DO NOT CLOSE THE LAUNCHER)" for 20 minutes now. I am a Mac M1 user and I downloaded Release 0.1.5 as the latest one is not compatible with M1. Thank you!
@@paulitorres__7032 Unfortunately not! Today I am going to download the release again and give it another try. If I resolve and I understand how to make it right, I will tell you :)
Once it hits the launch part (do not close launcher) it doesn’t launch the game. Any suggestions? I sat here for 2 hours for the actual loading. It’s annoying
Andrew Tsai can you please make a video about flash games on mac ever since flash stopped being supported there are very few ways to play flash games and animations. bluemaxima has created a collection and launcher for flash games.Mac and Linux support is limited right now ive tried testing it and got stuck at searching for games. Please consider this is an avenue many people haven't touched on especially on mac i firmly believe this is important for historical purposes. Thank you
hey andrew great video, but im stuck at where it tells me that the game is running and we mustnt close the launcher but nothing happens even tho i waited for a bit now did i do smth wrong or how can i fix this?
First day - everything is installed. Everything is working! Very happy) Macbook Pro m1 - high settings. Day two - (I don't know because of this program or not, but...) there were 200 GB of free space. This is after installing the game. And suddenly it ended. I go into the settings - and I see that the size of all applications is growing and growing !!! Does anyone have the same after installing this application? I just don't understand where so much space could have gone...
Now when I am playing for a few minutes the game freezes which forces me to force quit and restart which I have now done twice in a row can you tell me a fix (also my wine is gi wine 1.2) it was freezing at the zhongli mission where I chose the noctilucous jade righ at the last click and now it just freezes whenever I enter the mission to buy flowers pls help man
I found this video really informative and it helps me play the game much easier now. One question I have is that does it keep up with Genshin's updates?

is it normal that when I try to login it just shows me a blank screen? Like it can open, everything else works but after clicking on the door it's just a blank screen after that do I need to just wait for longer?
How does the battery life and performance compare to playing this via playcover? I’d love to give this a try but the iPad version runs so well on my Mac with great battery life that it’s hard to give that up.
The Windows version is definitely going to more intensive than the iPad version. you're running on an MacBook Air or something more low performance, thermals might be a concern.

hey guys, i have played on this YAAGL for a couple hours, and I found that except for the old map like liyue monstadt inazuma, the new desert map is kind of lagging, the snow mountain also is very laggy. my fps at the old city is kind of a maximum 59/60 but when i teleport to the new map it drop significantly to 3x 2x even 1x. the developer may need to put of a lot of work into this.
New maps are still unoptimized for every device, each update brings patches on that so you might have to wait for a bit more updates...
may i know does this links to the actual genshin server? or is this a offline version of the game?
yeah it is, that is the genshin game itself there's no offline server or something, unless its a private server that you still otherwise need wifi.@@yunikuroo
Hey Andrew, slight correction. PlayCover does not bypass Genshin's anticheat
why they need this in single game
I'm dead hahaha. good luck with a basic M1
For anyone experiencing a white box where the captcha should be, the actual captcha is smaller than the box. All I had to was keep clicking and dragging until I actually touched the actual captcha and then it appeared.
the the background behind the login screen black for you?
thank you, this really helped me, out of many guides, yours is the best
Dear Andrew, you just saved me 600 bucks.
I was getting so fed up with Playcover Genshin‘s dogshit graphics and keymapping issues, that I was seriously considering buying a PS5. But now I don‘t have to anymore! 😊
God bless you, keep up the great work! ❤
Tbh keymappings issues can be easily solved with a controller (which is supported on ios) i tried ds4 and ds5 controllers and they both work fine. Also, graphic really improved I can play at 140 average fps at 1440x3440 with really good results (for a mobile version obviously) and there is no more problem of low resolution etc... while in the pc version ur locked at 60 fps anf u can even get lower fps with emulation (and i dont talk about the fact u can be banned with this wine method)
PS5 is still much better when I compared with mine. My m1max struggle on 4k setting.
PS5 is useless, why not buy a pc?
Bro was going to buy a PS5 for Genshin

Hey, i still have the fatal error message when downloading the game even if i put it in a new folder in Admin as you did...
Edit: if you also have the same issue, do not download the same YAAGL version as shown in the video, try downloading the latest one
I suffer so much pain before you post this video, tysm!
so about how long did "allocating files on disk" take? I've spent an hour on this and i don't think its doing anything. I'm using a APFS Sandisk Dual Drive with a M1 2020 Sonoma Mac. Is there something blocking it from downloading?
installing the game now i can’t wait to try it! :D thanks so much for the video. came out just in time i was about to use playcover.
Hi. I'm just wondering why it just kept on dowloading when being installed? It won't allocate files on my disk. Need help, please?
I’ve been playing on GeForce NOW and it works perfectly! Runs really smooth and does have controller support! I have the “Ultimate” tier.
is it expensive?
@@yunikuroo ult tier is $20 a month, you decide
Hai Andrew i tried to do this but when i do it says Fatal error {"code":1,"message":"No URI to download."}
YAAGL needs to be updated, the latest ETA is 27th May. In the meantime I advise you to try the Parallels free trial and play using that method until the YAAGL fix comes: ruclips.net/video/0mN_B4VzS28/видео.html
Tried it today but I encountered a problem. “Yaagl OS” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. And its only giving me 2 option which is to move the file to the trash or cancel. Any idea on how I can make it work?
you can open it in settings
When I try to click on the Yaagl OS file, it says it can't be opened because the developer wasn't verified.
Me too but I just clicked it again and just didn’t care about the malware and opens it
for some odd reason when I play the game in 4k the game runs perfectly on M1 Pro even when I look at dragon spine it stays a constant 60 fps but once I enter dragons-one I drop down to 30 fps so this runs perfectly fine but for everything else its a constant 60 fps
And in my icloud drive, i see that the file is being uploaded. Maybe that's why it can't open and stuck at "game is running"?
Wow this required me to have a 127GB of free space. Big game!
Hi Andrew! First of all, many thanks for the tutorial. Then, just a tiny question: how long does the launching of the game take approximately? I have been stuck in the page "Game is running (DO NOT CLOSE THE LAUNCHER)" for 20 minutes now. I am a Mac M1 user and I downloaded Release 0.1.5 as the latest one is not compatible with M1. Thank you!
I am having the same issue. By any chance, were you able to resolve it? If so, what did you do? Thank you!

Once it hits the launch part (do not close launcher) it doesn’t launch the game. Any suggestions? I sat here for 2 hours for the actual loading. It’s annoying
if ur on arm mac you need sonoma 14.4
Andrew Tsai can you please make a video about flash games on mac ever since flash stopped being supported there are very few ways to play flash games and animations.
bluemaxima has created a collection and launcher for flash games.Mac and Linux support is limited right now ive tried testing it and got stuck at searching for games.
Please consider this is an avenue many people haven't touched on especially on mac i firmly believe this is important for historical purposes.
Thank you
I’m crying, its downloading again and again 😭
SAME
hey andrew great video, but im stuck at where it tells me that the game is running and we mustnt close the launcher but nothing happens even tho i waited for a bit now

I should be able to play genshin on mac m3 pro with high graphics settings right?
When i press on "launch game" nothing happens...does anyone now a possible reason for this problem?
First day - everything is installed. Everything is working! Very happy) Macbook Pro m1 - high settings.
Day two - (I don't know because of this program or not, but...) there were 200 GB of free space. This is after installing the game. And suddenly it ended. I go into the settings - and I see that the size of all applications is growing and growing !!! Does anyone have the same after installing this application? I just don't understand where so much space could have gone...
SAME! did u figure it out?
Now when I am playing for a few minutes the game freezes which forces me to force quit and restart which I have now done twice in a row can you tell me a fix (also my wine is gi wine 1.2) it was freezing at the zhongli mission where I chose the noctilucous jade righ at the last click and now it just freezes whenever I enter the mission to buy flowers pls help man
omg I have the same problem, it freezes when I enter the game
I think we need to wait for an update
Overwatch 2 works on M1 mac too. With custom libraries
How?
I found this video really informative and it helps me play the game much easier now. One question I have is that does it keep up with Genshin's updates?
Yep it auto updates.

its supposed to be like that it downloads in chunks

is it normal that when I try to login it just shows me a blank screen? Like it can open, everything else works but after clicking on the door it's just a blank screen after that
do I need to just wait for longer?
do you have any tips on changing the language?? It just auto closes every time I try to download a package :( otherwise it's perfect
How does the battery life and performance compare to playing this via playcover? I’d love to give this a try but the iPad version runs so well on my Mac with great battery life that it’s hard to give that up.
The Windows version is definitely going to more intensive than the iPad version. you're running on an MacBook Air or something more low performance, thermals might be a concern.
I'd advise lowering settings and capping the frame rate to 30fps if you are concerned about battery life
@@crestofhonor2349 I'm playing at 120 fps and gets about 5 hours of battery life using Playcover. I think I'll stick to that since I'm mostly in combat. Really tempted to see how much better the gfx on the PC version is though.
@@baskorosuryaputra1925 They are considerably better as I play on my phone and PC
@@crestofhonor2349 Thanks. I'll give it a go one of these days.
My game is stuck on the launcher. I klicked on launch game and now its been loading for hours. Is there any progress? I dont know because i have zero information.
How long is it supposed to run? Please help
Same problem this evening
the developer stated that it doesnt work on ARM macOS yet!!
I got a problem. While login to the game, I'm able to type my email adress but the box where i suppose to be de password it doesnt let me type anything. Somebody got this same problem?
Just tried this now and I can't type my password either!
Just type the password and press Enter. The password is there, just not visible
This is very stupid issue, but I can't type in my password, only username, the cursor refuses to type anything no matter what I do.
same, have you been able to figure it out?
shoot nvm, so it registers the password, you just can't see what you typed in, i suggest copying the password and then pasting it in

I've played a lot of genshin on PS4 and PS5 but since I got my M2 pro Mac mini , I returning back to emulation Heaven , these machines are ideal for emulation from older system like NES to PS3 or Switch ( unfortunately no X360 emulation yet ) but been able to play Genshin is great, and also I cannot stop playing games like Jet Set Radio Future, Crazy Taxi 2 , 3, all of Ridge Racer Games , it's so good . does someones knows a website who lists all the game Apple Silicon Macs can run ?
how do you play on silicon, i have an m2 mba
@@ghostninja2626 on the M3 max MBP i have now performance is awesome , but i think a M1 or M2 would be okay as long as you have more than 8 gigs of ram for some recents consoles emulators .. but for older ones it should be okay .. have fun
Hi, is it possible to turn off the stat overlay on the upper left side of the screen for this?
yeah me too I wanna know
Whenever I try to use yaagl, I can sign into the game fine, but as soon as it downloads those small updates or is on the loading screen it will freeze and crash. I don’t know why it’s happening or how to fix it, I’ve tried on two different MacBooks and it’s the same issue.
is there any way to make ps5 vibrations work with crossover gaming
sounds very nice, ill try it when developer updates client to run genshin 3.7
This looks really promising, but I’m concerned about safety. How will I be sure that I’m not downloading something potentially malicious?
same here, it says that the developer isnt verified so it doesnt allow me to install, though i can turn that wall of in my settings but im still researching of this is trusted or not
@@yunikuroo omg same that same thing happened to me
@@yunikurooso is it trusted
@@AngieYano-bz8mowhat did you end up doing
@@david-qr7kz I figured it out quite some time ago and it ended up working perfectly fine, no malicious malware or anything like that. But anyways to fix it If you're using mac and having the same problem, go to settings and find where it says System Preferences > Security & Privacy and then General. at the bottom of the window, there should be multiple options under the Allow apps to be downloaded from option and select 'Anywhere' to allow your mac to download any and and all apps you'd like to open and it should work. Hope that helps :)
what mac was this on and what processor? im looking to get a macbook pro m3 pro
It requires 146GB of my disk in order to download it. Is there any method to bypass such issues?
same problem
it doesn't work for me. It says the developer cannot be verified.
I figured it out. Another comment had the same problem. She said, I quote: "go to settings, and find where it says System Preferences > Secruity & Privacy and then General. At the bottom of the window, there should be multiple options under the allow apps to be downloaded from option and select 'Anywhere' to allow your Mac to download any and all apps you'd like to open"
For me it as a bit different: Setting > Security & Privacy > under the Section 'Secruity' there are two option that you can choose from in a box. Underneath of it, since I tried to install the file already, there was the file and asked, if I allow it to install and agreed.
Hope that helps

Hey there, I've tried playing genshin in a ton of ways on mac and stumbled upon this video. I did all the steps but when it came to opening Yaagl OS it said: “Yaagl OS” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware. I'm using M2 macbook air and it wont let me play it. Is it safe to play on this application because I really do not want to get any malware or damage escpecially cuz I am using this one for school. Pls let me know if u know what to do. Thanks
if you still need help: "If you downloaded an app from a trusted source but still can't open it because of the “macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware” error, you can try installing the app anyway. To do this, hold down Control and click on the app, then select “Open” from the context menu."
Hi, it's a good tutorial but does anyone know why the yet another anime game launcher say I don't have enough storage even though I have enough.

Hi Andrew! I tried out this method and was able to download the whole app and login. Though the app would quit and go back to the 'launch game' page after the loading page with the elemental icons. I wonder if you know a way that could fix this? Thanks!
Hi Andrew😃 Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!!
I tried to download a sound package for another language for 3 times, and the game just shut down every time. It will be happy if you know the reason.. Also can I change the location or minimize the code thing on the left of the screen? Lastly, your video was awesome. THANKS AGAIN!
Hello, great video, but can you put the game at the native 16:10 aspect ratio ?
Make the launcher launch the game at retina resolution and it perfectly matches what your mac uses
