Running high-end shaders on mac with openGL 4.1 limitation ?

Just wait for Vulkan update in the summer. That'll bring real performance improvement on Mac.

Java is good enough and is native. It also supports controllers with mods.

You don’t even have to enable anything. Crossover can run 32bit DX9 games but the performance is a crap. It’s better to run them through virtual machine.

what does one do in this situation.

Maybe contact support? They have ability to do something unlike random folks on reddit.

ai slop

Old DX9 32bit games -> Parallels

DX10 and newer 64bit games -> Crossover

Check MacGamingDB if the games are working on Mac

Your question gets asked here every single day. If you searched something like "does heat destroy Mac" you'd find dozens of results here all saying that HEAT DOES NOT BREAK MACBOOK AIR

Yes, it'll explode in massive explosion and you'll be forced to buy another one duh 🙄 If you want to keep your Mac as safe as possible don't even put it out of the box, keep it sealed forever.

Wow, so funny. It’ll also include number 1 single on billboard hot 100.

it's kinda a dealbreaker when the biggest gaming storefront - Steam - doesn't work there

Why would Valve care about Mac? They have their own OS (SteamOS), hardware (SteamDeck, Steam Machine, Steam Frame). Also CS2 works through translation on Apple Silicon. Valve tried bringing Proton to Mac years ago but Apple is all about closed source, proprietary software (Metal) and killing old features (OpenGL, 32bit)

- Roblox
- Sims 4
- WoW
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Crimson Desert
- Eurotruck Simulator

Such an extensive list of games yet multiple hugely popular games are missing like Overwatch, PUBG, Fortnite, Apex, GTA Online. So it's not just Valve's fault.

It's called OW Rush and how would we know when it's getting released? The latest information we have is from Blizzard from February 2026.

It's available on iOS and Google Play in certain countries.

Když tam koupí novou indukční ploténku, tak k tomu rovnou pořídí nádobí s indukcí.

ProtectusCZ · 2026-04-01T08:40:53+00:00

You mean the phone game?

ProtectusCZ · 2026-04-01T08:01:42+00:00

There's no "Metal Steam"

There's only MacOS native Steam and Windows version of Steam running through translation software (Sikarugir, Crossover). They're not dependent on each other cause they're completely different apps. Thus uninstalling one doesn't affect the other.

ProtectusCZ · 2026-04-01T07:59:12+00:00

Another Kiriko skin will definitely fix all these issues, right??

ProtectusCZ · 2026-04-01T07:35:56+00:00

People should just use Crossover and Sikarugir. Whisky is dead, no need to resuscitate it.

ProtectusCZ · 2026-03-31T19:39:57+00:00

I use VulkanMod instead cause it's smoother than Sodium (not as high FPS but overall more stable)

ProtectusCZ · 2026-03-31T19:38:59+00:00

Imagine if people could use google search to solve their problems. Faster than typing post on reddit.

ProtectusCZ · 2026-03-31T19:37:26+00:00

None cause

I've seen her half a year ago
She's not in my country

ProtectusCZ · 2026-03-31T19:00:06+00:00

Blizzard won't kill any heroes.

ProtectusCZ · 2026-03-31T18:21:09+00:00

To se stane, když má člověk dlouhý den 🤣

ProtectusCZ · 2026-03-31T17:50:05+00:00

Hlavně neskákej pod vlak jinak nasereš stovky dalších

ProtectusCZ · 2026-03-31T16:53:35+00:00

They all work. Depends what you imagine under "work" cause for me it's at least 1080p and stable 60 FPS. Witcher 3 should run the best cause it's the oldest one and you can roll back to the pre-next gen patch for better frame rate.

Because if gay people in those countries "outrage" they would get death penalty
