Hah! same experience here… Small world I guess—Bluestacks just refused to cooperate on my Intel Mac! I ended up using MEmu via a Windows VM (I know, not ideal), but it actually handled gaming better than I expected.
It’s not a native Mac solution, but if you’re mainly into gaming, that setup might give you the best performance without the constant lag experienced with other methods.
Hope this unconventional approach might be helpful for someone focused on gaming!
