Dragonfly on W3

Warcraft 3/ Blizzard

Hi,
I play custom map since along time on Warcraft 3 (td city team/ td city) with MBP M1 Max 32 GoRam at lowest graphic config. Unfortunately, FPS is terrible, and golds/souls farm or dragon roost delivery are damn slow (30% less productive). My mouse Viper acts funny sometimes. All of it despite an excellent internet connection. I admit that since TD city team map has been updated from 1.9 to 4.9 version, a saw serious decrease of MBP efficiency. Also since i’ve changed my config from MBP intel to MBP M1 Max.

I’d like to know if this game would be more playable on Wine/Wineskin or on Play on my mac (Mac GPU would ever compete with a basic NVidea/AMD mother card on game?).
Parallel is known as a consuming GPU/Processor resources.
Can we expect Apple to build a MBP with external device to plug a good mother card?

I hope, Blizzard will develop this game as native for Mac (like Wow). I do not expect buying anymore game from Blizzard till W3 don’t work properly on latest MBP M1. Moreover, Blizzard’s forum doesn’t allow you to leave a comment about this topic if you do have lvl10 minimum on WoW. Too bad for people who’re only play on Warcraft 3!

So Warcraft 3 works on MBP M1 but not on some custom maps even at a very low graphic config.
Sorry for my poor english…

Hi, did you solve your problem?
Can I play Warcraft III, not Reforged, in my Mac? I don't have any official account.
