DirectX 12 support will probably make it into open source products eventually. Here's a Proton game running on an AMD GPU equivalent to M2 Max:Īlthough it's less optimal than native, it's better than not having the game at all. This would enable support for a lot of good games. Valve managed to support DirectX 12 in Proton with Vulkan.Īpple could have done the same kind of thing for Metal, possibly via Vulkan and MoltenVK. Of course, that's unlikely to occur, as Apple would stand to benefit more from games being ported to work on macOS than to enable Windows games to run directly. If Apple wished, and if the emulation or translation layer worked sufficiently enough, there would be the potential to make it a publicly-accessible feature.

It is unclear if Apple has created a solution that actually can run DirectX 12 without issues, but if it does, there may be more utility beyond being a developer testing tool. The team wasn't able to find a 'single magic key that unlocked DirectX 12 support on macOS,' and believed that enabling such support would have to be done on a per-title basis. One unusual element is that the game shown in one demonstration video seems to be running under Rosetta 2, and is able to handle games using DirectX 12.īefore WWDC, CrossOver developers CodeWeavers blogged that while CrossOver was to get formal DirectX 12 support from CrossOver 23, dealing with DirectX 12 itself was difficult. Tsai later determined after checking the source code that the tool is really a modification of Wine, based on CrossOver 21.1.1.

It is to help developers work out whether it's worth porting the Windows game, and to realize the amount of work required to accomplish that task. The intention of the environment is to allow developers to see the 'game's potential performance immediately, eliminating months of upfront work,' according to Apple.
