Greetings friends!

I've registered on this venerable forum to bring my fellow Mac users some good news: we'll soon be able to play BG3 mods that require Norbyte's fantastic Script Extender!

As a recent newcomer to Baldur's Gate 3, and a formerly-prolific modder of many games (Medieval 2: Total War, Crusader Kings 2, Fallout: New Vegas, etc.), I found it unfortunate that MacOS simply couldn't enable mods like "More Reactive Companions". Rather than accept this, I decided to investigate the Issues of Norbyte's Script Extender GitHub where I came upon this bounty:

https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se/issues/162

In my day-to-day, I'm now what you could call a "Content Engineer", i.e. someone with a creative background who employs automation tools like Claude Code to prototype UIs and apps that would have once required dozens, if not hundreds of hours of programming to build, test, and maintain. It occurred to me that Claude Code would be particularly useful for reverse-engineering the BG3SE, especially in the wake of Claude Opus 4.5.

Over the last week, I've methodically planned and executed upon a full rebuild of the Script Extender, leaning upon Ghidra (for reverse-engineering Windows binaries) and a console that I built for pinging BG3 in-game. Right now I estimate that my MacOS build has (roughly) reached ~55% parity with its Windows analog, and already supports hundreds of mods. Within a couple days I'll officially upload the project to Nexus Mods, and begin maintaining a list of BG3SE-enabled mods confirmed as working.

If anyone here would like to contribute toward this effort, I invite you to dig through my repo, all the Issues I've outlined, as well as the readme and roadmap. Claude Code enthusiasts will find my Claude.md and a specialized Skill for exploring the BG3SE repo, and writing headless Ghidra scripts. Naturally, I'm also inclined toward tips, should anyone wish to express their appreciation in monetary form.

Hey Elisii, I can understand your frustration. I also play on xbox serie X, but i have to admit that i don't have that much problem to play. I have bugs and crashes but not as many as you mention.

On my case, i noticed that maybe the Quick resume functionality of the xbox may cause some trouble with the game (I also have this issue with FFXV). Every time i don't completely shut down the game manually after a session, I have issues (bug or crash). So now I always close the game manually after every session. That's the only tips I can give you unfortunately. I hope this will help a little.

Also i noticed that the VRR can cause issues, did you try to disable it ? On one of the pinned topics of the technical & Gameplay problem section, you have a topic called "Radial Wheel Lag/Freeze - Workaround" maybe try what they say. VRR cause a lot of various issue in many games. So you can try to turn off Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), disable Performance Mode. To disable VRR on your Xbox (X or S), navigate to Settings > General > TV & display options > Video modes > Variable refresh rate and select Off.
Let me know if this help, it could be good news!

Shadow-Cursed Lands.
