Can't start The Witcher on MacOS Ventura (Native)

[Sniping_]

When I try to load Witcher or Witcher 2, I get "The Game Failed to Initialise?" for some reason? I was excited to try out the games in chronological order

You can check if the game runs on Mac and how people made it work on mac on those websites :

I dont own mac so no idea if what they say is true but you can check it out.

according to the guy he run it on Parallels 17 (on Mac)


Device: Macbook Pro 16GB/512GB
OS: macOS 12 Monterey
Method: Parallels 17
Store: Steam
Resolution: 2560x1600
Settings: Default
Framerate: 30fps avg, 45fps max with occasional dips to 5fps
Comment: The first menu did not load correctly you could not see text rendering but you could navigate and start new save or load current one, after that it loaded fine and text was rendered even in the menu, keep in mind though i played only first 10 minutes.

Thank you HIZ, Apparently, the game is a 32 bit one, and steam doesn't know that, so it kinda lets me install it but not run it, since support for 32 bit apps were killed in catalina
