Does anyone know if there are any hacks -or Winetricks- that could make Elasto Mania Remastered (tried 1.19 but, any version) work under Wine, on macOS?
Specifically, I'm running Wineskin-3.0.6 (WineskinCX) and while the GOG Elma installer finishes without hassle, launching elma.exe ends in a crash with some "shader compiler" failure message (see attached screenshot). I take it as some kind of OpenGL/Metal incompatibility? Some shader hinting (Google "glsl-syntax-error-at-version-gl-version-is-metal") missing in the "Remastered" version? I have absolutely no idea about the root cause, but since it's not precisely a "3D-heavy" game I do not think it would be unreasonable to make it work under Wine/Crossover/Wineskin.
(n.b. the issue is with launching the game - whether or not you use the "offline installer" or the "GOG Galaxy" version is irrelevant)
