Can you play Raft on a Mac?
Short answer: Runs, but multiplayer doesn't yet — a player reports Raft plays smoothly on a MacBook Air M2, but hosting or joining a game fails with error 63.
What we know
Steam lists Raft for Windows only. Its requirements call for DirectX 11, which Grapple runs through D3DMetal.
Singleplayer plays smoothly. Multiplayer goes through Microsoft's PlayFab Party, and that part fails to set up its connection as soon as a game is hosted, so nobody can join and joining others fails too; Raft shows it as error 63. Logging in to Steam and PlayFab works, so it isn't the network.
Players on Linux, where games also run through Wine, report the same error 63.
Grapple settings
None that we know of.
