Could someone please help me figure out how to play D2R on an Apple Silicon chipset? I used to use Porting Kit, and it worked fine before the RotW update, but now, when I try to launch the game, it only opens the Battle.net launcher. When I hit "Play," it appears to load, updates the Battle.net client, but then it just returns to the game screen without actually launching the game in a second window.

If anyone has a solution for this, I would really appreciate it if you could share it! If this isn't working anymore, could you recommend a free software that lets me run the game on Apple Silicon?

Thank you!

D2R on crossover is broken for Mac with the new chip set. What I'm doing is nvidia cloud gaming (which is as shitty as you're guessing, can't recommend it less, but it does work).

The exact steps are to find a trash bin. Place your Mac into it. Then go buy a real PC.

For now, GeForce Now is your only option since the ROTW update.
