The demo ran under Whisky. Don't see any reason why the full release wouldn't work under Whisky.

I can confirm it works well. Requires installing Steam Windows version under it but installation and set up is easy.

About HW3 under it - working quite good under M3 Max on 14” 36GB basic M3max config. Only sometimes are graphical artifacts on textures (had it once in mission but in intro to it not playthough - some triangles , basic textures were blinking ) but it’s fine.
FYI - Steam prompts a window do confirm that HW3 will be run under special settings.

Sorry, but what is Whisky?

Analogous to VMWare fusion or Parallels?

It is the "free" version of Crossover.

If Parallels supports the newer DirectX games then HW3 should run fine.

Parallels supports DirectX 11..

Ah, yeah it won't work then. HW3 is a DX12 game.

I have Crossover, but it comes up with out of video memory. How do I force it to Vulcan?

Have you tried switching on DXVK in Crossover?

Yes.
It works on Whisky. Go figure.
