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 |

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
Reported perfect on an M4 Pro with DXMT on the default engine (r28) over 59 minutes, and on an M3 with slight stutters while loading maps and one crash loading a save (highball-db#1102). An M3 Pro played it nearly seven hours and rated it playable with minor issues, none named (highball-db#1100).

Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does Incremental Traffic work on Mac?
Incremental Traffic 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.
