How to run KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 on Mac with Game Porting Toolkit

Good· Compatibility

Running KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 through Game Porting Toolkit translates the game's Windows DirectX calls into Metal on the fly. Performance is impressively close to a native Windows PC on Apple Silicon, and you stay entirely inside macOS — no VM, no rebooting. Expect to spend 10–20 minutes on first-time setup.

Step-by-step

Install Homebrew: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)".
brew tap apple/apple http://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple then brew install game-porting-toolkit.
Create a Wine prefix and install Steam inside it.
Install KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 through Steam and launch via gameportingtoolkit.

How to run KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 on Mac with CrossOver

Estimate· Compatibility

Running KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 through CrossOver translates its Windows DirectX calls into Metal on Apple Silicon — no reboot, no Windows license, no virtual machine. Most setup time is spent on first-time bottle configuration and installing the game launcher (Steam, Epic, etc.) inside CrossOver. Once that's done, launching feels close to native. Expect 15–30 minutes of setup on the first run.

Step-by-step

Step 1 — Create a bottle

Open CrossOver → click New Bottle
Name it after the game (e.g. KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2) and choose Windows 10 64-bit
Open the bottle's Settings and set:

- Graphics: D3DMetal (not DXVK)

- Synchronization: ESync

- High Resolution Mode: Off

Step 2 — Install the game launcher

Inside CrossOver, click Install Application → search for Steam (or Epic Games Launcher if you own it there)
Install it into the same bottle you just created
Launch Steam, log in, and let it fully update before proceeding

Step 3 — Install and launch KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2

Open Steam (or your launcher) inside CrossOver
Install KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 through the launcher as normal
Launch the game — use the launcher's Play button, not CrossOver directly
First launch may take 30–90 seconds to show a window. Don't force-quit unless it hangs for several minutes.

Step 4 — If you hit issues

Black screen / stuck in small window: go to Settings → Graphics in-game, set Screen Type to Fullscreen, then restart
Resolution resets on every launch: find the game's config/settings file and set the resolution values manually, then mark the file Read-Only to prevent the game overwriting it
Crashes on startup: try switching the bottle's Synchronization from ESync to MSync, or vice versa

How to run KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 on Mac with Parallels

Estimate· Compatibility

Using Parallels to play KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 means running a full copy of Windows 11 ARM inside macOS. This is the most "it just works" approach for games that don't behave under CrossOver, and DirectX 11 is hardware-accelerated. You'll need a Windows license and roughly 80 GB of disk space.

Step-by-step

Buy / start a trial of Parallels Desktop.
Install Windows 11 ARM via the one-click wizard.
Inside Windows, install Steam / Xbox app and KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2.
Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.

How to run KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 on Mac with Steam Link

Estimate· Streaming

Streaming KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 through Steam Link is the fastest way to start playing on a Mac — there's nothing to install, no Windows VM, no compatibility layer. The game runs on a remote GPU and your Mac just receives the video, which means even a base M1 MacBook Air can play the most demanding AAA titles at high settings. The tradeoff is that you need a stable internet connection (ideally wired or 5GHz Wi-Fi with 25+ Mbps down) and a subscription.

Step-by-step

Install Steam Link on your Mac.
Have a gaming PC on the same network running Steam with KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 installed.
Pair and stream — wired connection strongly recommended.
