- tbillington 2y agoThe devs mentioned they're not currently looking into it. The game uses Vulkan which isn't supported by MacOS, so they'd have to write a whole second renderer just for Mac. It is also available on linux.
- wffurr 2y agoMoltenVK should make it possible to port to Mac. Curious that it uses Vulkan and not wgpu.
- ferbivore 2y agoThe renderer is too complex to run on MoltenVK correctly. See https://steamcommunity.com/app/2198150/discussions/0/4425436888445659159/ https://steamcommunity.com/app/2198150/discussions/0/4425436...
- wffurr 2y agoBummer to read that MoltenVK is too buggy to use. ISTR that neither wgpu nor Dawn use it though in favor of their own WebGPU -> Metal backends, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. Vulkan is a powerful API but it’s not universally cross platform like OpenGL.
- MindSpunk 2y agoWGPU doesn't expose a lot of modern GPU features and also introduces a bunch of CPU overhead that you don't get targeting Vulkan directly.
- satvikpendem 2y agoYou can use Whisky [0] which is a free tool that uses WINE to run Windows applications on macOS, including games. There are also paid tools like CrossOver and Parallels but Whisky works well enough for most use cases. [0] https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky
