More like no Vulkan support.
- __alexs 3y agoApple had long given up on games before Vulkan was even on the drawing board.
- ChuckNorris89 3y agoThe good thing about SW is you can always choose to change things in the future. Nothing is stopping Apple to implement support Vulkan now if they wanted to. It's not like they can't afford the engineering effort. Windows supports both DirectX and Vulkan.
- __alexs 3y agoNot many games support Vulkan though.
- ChuckNorris89 3y agoGame devs aren't gonna bother implementing Vulkan if MacOS doesn't first support it.
- dagmx 3y agoThe list of games that directly support Vulkan is incredibly small. As much as it gets bandied about as the solution, it’s not really used all that much without translation layers.
- smoldesu 3y ago...and with those translation layers, you get "free" coverage of DirectX 9 up through most of 12. So someone either rewrites DXVK to support Metal (fool's errand) or we add Yet Another Translation Layer to the mix. Something tells me the industry and users would be better off if Apple supported both Metal and Vulkan at a hardware level. Seems plausible for a company of their size.
