In this video, I’ll show you how to download the special game launcher, enable DXMT, and get the game running on Mac. I’ll also give my first impressions of how DXMT performs! A big shout out to Jfishin for helping make this video! DXMT, or DirectX to Metal Translator, is a software tool designed to translate DirectX API calls into Metal API calls. This allows games and applications that are originally developed for Windows using DirectX to run on macOS, which uses the Metal graphics API.
