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 |

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
My Summer Car's sequel, Unity. Reported perfect on D3DMetal on the default engine on an M3 Pro, with the same DLL overrides My Summer Car's mod loader uses (in the DLL overrides field). DXMT, the default mode, is untested here, so the page does not pick a mode.
Provenance
Reported by goginki (highball-db#527, 2026-10-17), Apple M3 Pro, macOS 26.1, Highball 0.10.15, engine x64-sikarugir10.0_6-r26, D3DMetal, DLL overrides version=n,b;winmm=n,b;winhttp=n,b, recipes steam and vcrun2022, rated 5 of 5 after 39 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 My Winter Car work on Mac?
My Winter Car 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.
