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 | Reported | 3 reports |
| DXMTDirect3D 11 over Metal | Reported | 10 reports |
| D3DMetalApple's Game Porting Toolkit | Reported | 2 reports |
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 again and again, with DXMT, D3DMetal and DXVK, on chips from the M1 to the M5, on the default engine and the Wine 11 one, in sessions up to 78 hours. The one minor issue reported is a resolution locked by default. Not measured here.

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