• Clearer notes for DirectX 12 games and during DirectX 12 setup.

What is inside

• Wine, built by us unmodified from CodeWeavers' CrossOver 26.3.0 source (crossover-sources-26.3.0.tar.gz, attached; SHA-256 ac99c8ca4b3848f3e81784135f023df266b61c2345726ea55a50b3e030dd6872, from https://media.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/source/).
• The runtime libraries of Gcenx's Wine 11.18 build (GnuTLS, FreeType, SDL2, MoltenVK, Vulkan Loader and others): https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases/tag/11.18
• A small Windows helper of our own that makes Chromium-based launchers (Steam, Rockstar Social Club) render in software mode.

This engine does not contain any software from Apple. If you install Apple's Game Porting Toolkit yourself, MaPC can copy D3DMetal from your download, after checking Apple's signature. MaPC doesn't include, sell or license Apple software; your use of D3DMetal is governed by Apple's license, which limits it (for example, to developing, testing and evaluating games).

Licenses and source

• licenses/ inside the engine has the full license text of every component and THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md; the same texts are attached as mapc-engine-2.0.1-licenses.tar.gz.
• Complete corresponding source for Wine: crossover-sources-26.3.0.tar.gz plus our build script, mapc-engine-2.0.1-build-scripts.tar.gz (also inside the engine under licenses/build). The build applies no patches; it runs CrossOver's configure with the options in the script.
• Wine is free software under the GNU LGPL 2.1 or later. For any LGPL or GPL component, including the runtime libraries, email support@mapc.games for a copy of its complete corresponding source, for no more than the cost of providing it. This offer is open to anyone who has received this engine, for at least three years.

CrossOver is a trademark of CodeWeavers; Apple, Metal and Game Porting Toolkit are trademarks of Apple Inc. MaPC isn't affiliated with either.
