Mac compatibility
Can you play No More Room in Hell 2 on a Mac?
Short answer: Probably not — No More Room in Hell 2 uses Easy Anti-Cheat, a kernel-level anti-cheat, and no Wine-based tool can load a Windows kernel driver. Untested, but the anti-cheat decides this one, not the graphics layer.
What we know
Steam lists No More Room in Hell 2 for Windows only. Its requirements call for DirectX 12, which Grapple runs through D3DMetal — but the anti-cheat decides this one, not the graphics layer.
Steam's store page discloses that the game uses a kernel level anti-cheat, Easy Anti-Cheat. Grapple runs Windows programs in user space, without a Windows kernel, so a kernel driver has nothing to load into.
AreWeAntiCheatYet, which tracks anti-cheat on Linux/Proton (Proton is built on Wine, like Grapple), lists No More Room In Hell 2 as running: people get it working there, but the developer hasn't officially enabled it. That's a mixed picture, and only a test on a Mac would settle it.
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 12 runs through D3DMetal, which comes with Grapple — a new install already uses it, and nothing needs downloading. See the Game Porting Toolkit guide.
- To see frame rates, turn on the Metal HUD:

Heads-up: this game uses Easy Anti-Cheat. Anti-cheat support can differ between Linux and macOS, so treat online play as unverified until someone has run it.
