Apple added #DX12 support to macOS and Apple Silicon via its Game Porting Toolkit. It’s basically a 20k patch to Wine that will make it easy to play AAA Windows games on macOS without using a VM. https://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple

@flargh @film_girl Just as they got DX12 working as well.

@apt @flargh it’s literally their code. Apple has made some modifications/improvements, but it’s literally CodeWeavers code.

@film_girl @apt Just watched the video you pointed to, thanks for the link. Great stuff, glad to see Apple embrace and extend the tech. This doesn't solve the business case problem for Mac games, but anything to reduce friction for devs is aces.

@flargh @apt honestly, the business case doesn’t exist for native metal games imho. This is the way you get good titles on the platform.

@apt @flargh as I said yesterday, from what I understand from people in a position to know, many of the top 100 games on Steam have already been tested. Diablo IV is 60fps. And this is just the beginning of the patch work, I’m sure.
