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 | Reported | community reports |
| 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
A rhythm game, reported perfect over 38 minutes on DXVK on the default engine. The anti-cheat map lists XIGNCODE3 for it, and the reporter's session went through, so whatever the game ships did not stop it under Wine on this copy. The dxvk.conf lines in the report (customDeviceId, maxAvailableMemory, enableAsync off) are scoped to csgo.exe by Highball's Counter-Strike 2 recipe and do not apply to this game. No frame rate was given and nothing was measured here.
Provenance
Reported by kkorenn (highball-db#279, 2026-10-02), Apple M4 Pro, macOS 27.2 as entered, Highball 0.10.1, engine x64-sikarugir10.0_6-r15, DXVK, AVX advertised, rated 5 of 5 after 38 minutes, in an environment shared with Counter-Strike 2 (recipes steam, vcrun2022, counter-strike-2, controller-sdl). Not verified by the maintainer.
Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does EZ2ON REBOOT : R work on Mac?
EZ2ON REBOOT : R 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.
Which renderer should I use for EZ2ON REBOOT : R?
DXVK. Highball can translate Direct3D through DXVK, DXMT or Apple's D3DMetal, and the right choice varies by game. The database records DXVK for EZ2ON REBOOT : R. Highball uses it automatically when the game has a row; to set it by hand, open Settings, then Environments.
