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 |
| 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 playable with minor issues on D3DMetal after a session of 43 minutes; the reporter adds that it needed Direct3D 12, so D3DMetal is the mode, DXMT does not run it. No measurement here yet. A second player on an M4 with the Wine 11 engine r18 rated it playable with good frame rates. An error report window opens when the game quits, and trees flicker in some scenes.

Common questions
Does UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection work on Mac?
UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection 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 UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection?
D3DMetal. Highball can translate Direct3D through DXVK, DXMT or Apple's D3DMetal, and the right choice varies by game. The database records D3DMetal for UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection. Highball uses it automatically when the game has a row; to set it by hand, open Settings, then Environments.
