Holy cows. Mac Mini M1 16GB, 2020 model with only 8/8 cores.
Has a native Mac port. Just run through Mac Steam. Smooth as butter on a 8/8 core M1.
- Use Whisky.

14494 - Run Battle net installer .exe - then exit
- To solve crash at login screen copy the older BattleNet version shared by akmad (copy the
Battle.net.14494folder, delete any others with more recent version number) Whisky-App/Whisky#666 (comment) - Restart BNET, should be able to get past login screen
- Go to Settings > Advanced and turn off Hardware acceleration (that's for the launcher only)
- Exit and run Launcher again
- Download the game
- Run the game!
Game runs at ~35 FPS native 1440p (no upscaling), low details.
To get FPS hovering above 50 while looking decent (type /fps in game chat):
Internal Resolution set to 70%
Vsync
Turn off FXAA (upscaling already smoothes out the aliasing, reduce bluriness)
Since it won't lock to 60
Set framerate cap to 50 to reduce stuttering
No glitches or display issues whatsoever, alt tabbing works great for checking wikis and whatnot (borderless fullscreen).
Whisky. Create a new Bottle Win 10, winetricks d3dx9 43, turn OFF DXVK.
Run the Launcher.exe. Download game, patch, Run! Appears to work flawlessly (no graphical glitches and whatnot).
