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
Not playable for the one report so far. The game starts, its 2D menus, dialogue and sound work and the player can walk around, but every 3D scene draws black. The game offers Vulkan and DirectX 12 only. Which other modes the reporter tried is not known. Nothing was measured here.

Provenance
Reported by im-theslimeguy (highball#492, 2026-10-25), Apple A18 Pro, macOS 27.2, Highball 0.10.22, engine x64-sikarugir10.0_6-r28: the last run was on DXVK, where the game takes its Vulkan path. Not verified by the maintainer.
Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach work on Mac?
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach 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.
