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 playable on an M1 with D3DMetal at a steady 60 fps, with the sound effects echoing during fights.
Known issues
Sound effects echo heavily from the moment a cutscene hands over to a fight until the next cutscene, after a freeze of a few seconds at the hand-over (M1, D3DMetal, Wine 10 r29)
What helps none known, besides playing with the sound off

Provenance
Reported by udance4ever (highball-db#934, 2026-11-03), Apple M1, macOS 27.2, Highball 0.10.24, engine x64-sikarugir10.0_6-r29, D3DMetal, rated 3 of 5 after 12 minutes: a steady 60 fps, but when a cutscene hands over to a fight the picture freezes for a few seconds and every sound effect then echoes until the next cutscene. The first launch from ES-DE showed about 45 seconds of black before the first logo, later ones 17 to 18 seconds. Not verified by the maintainer.
Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition work on Mac?
Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition 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.
