Mac compatibility
Can you play Conan Exiles Enhanced on a Mac?
Short answer: Probably not — Conan Exiles uses BattlEye, whose Windows kernel driver no Wine-based tool can load, and AreWeAntiCheatYet lists it as broken on Linux/Proton. Untested.
What we know
Steam lists Conan Exiles Enhanced for Windows only. Its minimum and recommended requirements both call for DirectX 11, which is the part Grapple's DXMT layer covers — but the anti-cheat decides this one, not the graphics layer.
AreWeAntiCheatYet lists BattlEye as its anti-cheat. BattlEye's own FAQ describes its BEDaisy.sys driver and counts BattlEye among kernel-level anti-cheats.
AreWeAntiCheatYet lists Conan Exiles as broken on Linux/Proton. Proton shares Wine with Grapple, so don't expect the Windows version to get past the anti-cheat until someone shows otherwise.
Grapple settings
Nothing verified yet. Where to start, based on its DirectX version (in the app, the same options are in the game's settings):
- DirectX 10/11: a new install is set to Automatic, which picks D3DMetal or DXMT for you. If the game won't start or renders wrongly, naming a layer is the usual next try:
grapple set Steam graphics dxmt - To see frame rates, turn on the Metal HUD:
grapple set Steam hud on
Heads-up: this game uses BattlEye. Anti-cheat support can differ between Linux and macOS, so treat online play as unverified until someone has run it.
