Apple has powerful processors, even in the graphics field, but to attract a certain type of professional who also likes to play, it has to improve in the field of compatible titles. In macOS 14 there is a tool that allows you to translate DX12 games to Metal, the graphic library used in macOS, but for now CrossOver It has been updated with that support, albeit in a much more limited way as they continue to explore Apple’s utility.
Right now CrossOver 23which is already available, allows you to play Diablo IV y Diablo II Resurrected. The reason is, as always, the compilation of the shaders, those small pieces of code that manage certain visual effects and that share a name with the GPU cores on which they run.
Diablo IV it’s a game that won’t be coming directly to macOS due to Microsoft’s potential acquisition of Blizzard. If the purchase closes, no Blizzard games will ever come to macOS again. Therefore, CrossOver or Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit will be required for these and other DX12-only games to work on Macs.
CrossOver 23 is available to install. It is a paid utility, but it has a fifteen-day trial. You have to test it thoroughly because some games work, others don’t, others do it with good performance, others with very bad. This update allows you to install the Electronic Arts client and run games like titan fall 2 o The Sims 4although the latter is available from the Origin client for macOS, although not with all the content.
