Need help reporting issues with ports on M1 Apple Silicon.
You saw the past week some wrapper updates regarding the latest CX21.1.o Engine. Which is of course great news for many ports!
You may think, why not updating all ports with that latest engine, well, we thought and even did that for a few days finding out that this engine has for many games regressions as well. So, that did made us cautious to do that and made us switch to manual updating ports again preventing these issues. This work is quite extensive, but we also need your help letting us know if a specific port is not working with the M1 Apple Silicon Mac.
If this is the case let us know asap so we can look into it and fix it and when impossible at least update the port description with that info.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

I’m having trouble with Might and Magic 6 on M1. Any help would be appreciated.
@Michael
– Total Annihilation should work with latest update and might require Monterey Mac OS to run (latest version)
– Civilization 3 (I need more info, can you sent another e-mail, there seems that some mails has slipped through)
– Heroes 3 not working yet is most likely an Apple rosetta thing. There are a few more games effected by this bug.
Apple is working on improvements with every Mac OS update, but also Wine developers are working on improvements so every newer engine may improve things as well.
– @eske, did you sent an email about that? If not, please do so I need more info about that.
