Success. I got it working. I needed to change some of the settings on the startup menu for KSA. Apparently I had setting dialed down too low?

Regardless, yay.

Hi KSA Fans, is the install method over Crossover working for the latest release?

Thank you for the instructions I have made it work with this info https://kittenspaceagency.wiki.gg/wiki/Help:Installing/macOS. It is not working with Crossover I was unable to find the place where to replace MoltenVK lib.
I was using btw this binary from this build if anybody looking for it: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK/suites/81179705105/artifacts/8547352766

The only thing I am still missing is the water rendering. It is just a big transparent black area. Any ideas for that?

Ok so here the way to also make it work with Crossover:

based on this guide: https://www.applegamingwiki.com/wiki/CrossOver#Upgrading_DXVK_and_MoltenVK

You need to copy the MoltenVK Library to the Crossover App itself:

1. Visit the https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK/suites/81179705105/artifacts/8547352766
2. Download the MoltenVK-macos.zip
3. In Finder, extract the folder. You can find the lib in MoltenVK/MoltenVK/dynamic/dylib/macOS/libMoltenVK.dylib
4. Copy libMoltenVK.dylib.
5. In Finder, Ctrl+click on CrossOver and Show Package Contents.
6. Navigate to /COntents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/lib64/.
7. Rename your libMoltenVK.dylib and then paste your new libMolteVN.dylib
8. Make sure to select in Crossover Advanced settings DXDVK

And don't forget to turn off

Documents/My Games/Kitten Space Agency/settings.toml
Set:
groundClutter = false
groundClutterTerrainBlending = false
terrainTessellation = false


Still the ocean rendering is not working and is strange but the rest should work....
