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 | Reported | community reports |
| 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
Reported perfect on DXMT, the default mode, over about 7 minutes on an M4 at 1920x1080: 160 fps (the display's refresh rate) at the main menu and on the world map, about 68 fps in the market scene with a character panel open. Unity, 64-bit, Direct3D 11. The store has no English title. No measurement here yet.
Provenance
Reported by w8079 (highball-db#391, 2026-10-08), Apple M4, macOS 27.0.1, Highball 0.10.10, engine x64-crossover26.3-r19, the environment in DXMT mode, rated 5 of 5 after about 7 minutes. Not verified by the maintainer.
Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does 觅长生 work on Mac?
觅长生 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 觅长生?
DXMT. Highball can translate Direct3D through DXVK, DXMT or Apple's D3DMetal, and the right choice varies by game. The database records DXMT for 觅长生. Highball uses it automatically when the game has a row; to set it by hand, open Settings, then Environments.
