Christina WarrenApple 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
This video goes into more details if you don’t want to read the insane patch file augmented on top of the homebrew formula. https://youtu.be/g3n62FOX1Go
Apple hid something AMAZING for Mac gaming at WWDC
Also, plz appreciate the lengths Apple will go through to avoid sending stuff to upstream. This has to be GPL v2 b/c Wine/Codeweavers, but rather than patch upstream, this is patched inside a homebrew formula. It’s amazing.
There are 3 videos at #WWDC23 for porting your game for Mac. First video discusses this toolkit a bit but burries the lead for real. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10123/
Jon Fisher@film_girl Diablo IV for Mac please.
@film_girl Someone already got Diablo IV running on an Apple Silicon Mac with the macOS beta. https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/14307be/diablo_iv_on_m2_max_using_macos_sonoma_and_game/
@jonfisher yup! Clearly, this was tested internally before this was released.
@film_girl You love to see it.
