The version of our game for Apple computers now supports Metal, which means that battles are going to look even better!
 |
We are pleased to announce that War Thunder for Apple computers will support Metal in the incoming update, a graphics API that will substantially boost the game's frame rate. Previously, the Mac version of our game client only worked with OpenGL, which restricted the speed at which battles could be displayed and could lower the frame rate in scenes involving a large number of shaders, for example when a player takes an artillery hit. With Metal, dynamic scenes in the Mac client will be displayed much faster, and in some cases, the frame rate will be doubled!
War Thunder will automatically switch to Metal on all Apple computers that support this technology.
To try the new Metal technology currently, you need to include the following line in the config.blk file in the video section: driver:t="metal".

Now with METAL support, client stability won't be a problem anymore!
when will this happen?
In the next update
Yay, It is good that you Mac™ users have it, but I'm a little disappointed because I thought the update would drop today.
I am using Windows on Mac Book Pro, does it do anything good or some? Lol
Here for everyone who is curious if his computer supports metal to make use of this new feature: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205073
omg thank you !!! now, is this something that i need to download from the app store or does it just work automatically? i seem to be lucky and have caught the mid 2012 MacBook pro so w00t lolol
Check links below article maybe? :)
Apple Isn't Supposed To Be Gamed On... But, Good Job With The Update I Guess.
Hallelujah!
But DX12. You know you wanna :D
Dx12 is almost equal to vulkan, but vulkan is multi OS and DX12 is windows only... so there is no logic in using DX12 at all
higuita7, Well there's more to it than that: You can't port OpenGL to Vulkan with ease. You can with DX11 > DX12 Vulcans tools or related tools are not matured like they are with DirectX DirectX is coded in more games than OpenGL. You do know games aren't really a big hit on Mac and PS4 does not use OpenGL for War Thunder. It uses either PSSL (a derivative of OpenGL or DirectX (PS4 launched with DirectX11.2 support).
This mean that more Mac players may appear which means I can farm some easy kills :D
