Mac compatibility
Can you play Portal 2 on a Mac?
Short answer: Yes — a player has played it more than once, for over 10 minutes each time, on a Mac with Grapple.
What we know
Steam lists Portal 2 for Windows and Linux. Its minimum requirements call for DirectX 9.0c.
DirectX 9 predates DXMT, so Grapple runs it through Wine's own WineD3D layer, which has handled DirectX 9 for years. That's an expectation, not a result — we haven't tested it yet.
Steam lists Portal 2 for Windows and Linux only — the store page offers no macOS build.
Grapple settings
None that we know of: players report it works with Grapple's default settings.
Test record
No detailed record yet. The Works status comes from players: their reports below, and the players Grapple counts, anonymously.
