closed(Suggestion/Bug) MacOS - Unsupported Metal Warning (Pre-Mojave) -- Does not play game, even when user acknowledges warning.
0%
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
