PlayOnMac 4.4 is available on Catalina

 Please note

Your antivirus program may report that some PlayOnMac .exe files contain malware. Don't be alarmed! This is a false positive due to the fact that these .exe may interact with emulated Windows system registry and that could be considered harmful behavior for some antivirus programs. These .exe are safe to use, especially on macOS which do not use registry. If you encounter false positive, we really advise you to report it to your antivirus software company. Even the commercial version of Wine (Codeweavers) or ports relying on wine have the same issue.

V1.8.4: Wineskin-Winery-1.8.4 .2

Wineskin.Winery.txz was updated and is required for Wineskin-2.9.0.7-rc2 due to internal changes that were required for Rosetta2 compatibility.

DXVK Support!!!!;

  • Only tested on a mid 2014 13in Macbook Pro and base mode M1 Mac Mini
  • 64Bit Engine (WS10 or later Engines will suffice)
  • macOS 10.13 or greater (might work below but I haven't tested)
  • winetricks menu only shows compatible DXVK verbs

Apple Silicon Support;

This will now function under Rosetta2 use WineCX19 or greater, direct draw & Direct3D won't function so things like cnc-ddraw & DxWnd can be used to workaround this limitation.

Please Note;

The previous master wrapper Wineskin-2.9.0.7-rc1 won't be able to update to this master wrapper version as the structure has changed, while it's technically possible to update a current wrapper to the rc2 I won't provide any support for this so please create the wrapper over and manually move over the wineprefix files currently located with the wrappers /Contents/Resources directory into the newly created wrapper.
The Wineprefix location will also be moved in for rc3
