Highball
Which renderer to use
Highball can run each game through three different Direct3D translation layers. This is what the database knows for this title — empty rows are open questions, not failures.
| Renderer | Verdict | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| DXVKDirect3D 9-11 over Vulkan | Untested | no report yet — send one |
| DXMTDirect3D 11 over Metal | Untested | no report yet — send one |
| D3DMetalApple's Game Porting Toolkit | Untested | no report yet — send one |
No dated Highball run yet. When one lands it records the renderer, the engine build and the macOS version it was seen on — which is what stops a verdict quietly rotting. Send one.
Notes
An online game with Easy Anti-Cheat. Easy Anti-Cheat runs under Proton on Linux when a game allows it, but that support does not carry over to Wine on a Mac, so the game is not expected to get past its anti-cheat through Highball. The report did not say where it stopped.
Known issues
The game does not start (reported on an M1, macOS 27.0.1)
What helps none
Why most likely Easy Anti-Cheat, which has no Mac Wine support
Provenance
Reported by VaSiLoNG (highball#291, 2026-10-08), Apple M1, macOS 27.0.1, Highball 0.10.10. Not verified by the maintainer.
Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does ARC Raiders work on Mac?
ARC Raiders has no native Mac build, but it is reported to run on Apple Silicon through Highball, a free open-source compatibility layer. This comes from community reports rather than a Highball test run, so treat it as a reasonable expectation rather than a guarantee.
