Description

I understand that there should be no bug reports regarding pre-Mojave, however, when using panic alerts for the Unsupported Metal warning, not one game will launch.
Before 5.0-10451, games were able to launch. Now, games would not even load.
Instead of using panic alerts, I would instead use an OSD Notification displayed for 60 seconds.
With OSD, the game will now launch.
I have created a pull request that uses the OSD fix, and will be uploaded soon

Game Name?

ANY

Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Info tab)

ANY

MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Verify tab, Verify Integrity button)

ANY

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

Pre-Mojave will display Panic Alert with Warning that Metal is unsupported, clicking either button will not render the game.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Use Vulcan Backend
  2. Run game
  3. Click either option.
