Mac compatibility
Can you play The Forest on a Mac?
Short answer: Yes — a player reports that The Forest works on a Mac with Grapple, and 4 players have played it more than once, for over 10 minutes each time.
What we know
Steam lists The Forest for Windows only. Its minimum requirements call for DirectX 9.0.
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.
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.
