Cue Club 2 on Apple Silicon

It's been quite a long time for me not to play a decent snooker game since I replaced my Windows laptop with an Apple Silicon one. To be more specific, the Cue Club 2 on Steam is the one. However, it only supports Windows. In this article, I'll share you how to set up this game on Apple Silicon.

Environment

  • MacBook Pro M2 Max
  • 64GB RAM

1. Install VMware Fusion

VMware Fusion is the Desktop Hypervisors for Mac with all-new Windows 11 support on Macs with Apple silicon. It offers a free version of personal use license. Just visit the official website to install it.

Apply for a personal use license.

2. Install Windows 11

Follow the official instructions to install Windows 11 arm64.

3. Install Steam

Visit the official website, install the Steam, and install the game. Both Steam and the game are installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam, though the Windows runs on arm64.

4. Graphics Settings

Click the button [Play] to launch the game. Here is my preference on the screen resolution for your reference.

It's better not to turn on the VMware Fusion full screen mode, because the game may crash.

Enjoy the Game
