Apple Silicon Macs are officially supported. The macOS minimum requirements name Big Sur 11 or newer and an Apple M1 chip — or an Intel 9750H — with 8 GB of RAM, a GeForce GTX 670 or Radeon HD 7970, and 2 GB of available space. What some demo builds hit instead was a launch failure rather than a lack of support.

Hull Rupture macOS Apple Silicon support

macOS is one of the three supported platforms, and the requirement list explicitly names Apple Silicon:

  • Big Sur 11 or newer
  • Apple M1 or Intel 9750H
  • 8 GB RAM
  • GeForce GTX 670 or Radeon HD 7970
  • 2 GB available space

The recommended list for macOS is empty, so the minimums are the whole of it. The system requirements guide has the Windows and Linux numbers for comparison, and the release guide covers the platforms the game ships on.

The demo launch failure

In practice some demo builds failed to launch on Apple Silicon and M-series Macs, with the error "Failed to start process for this game: OS Error 0". Players asked for Rosetta to be listed in the system requirements, and the developer replied that a plausible Steam-side fix had been found and would be implemented.

The developer also noted that many developers see the same reports after a new macOS release even with universal binaries, and that installing Rosetta appeared to be the workaround. So the failure mode was a launch error on some demo builds — not an absence of support for the hardware.

What to do if it will not launch

  1. Install Rosetta, which was the reported workaround for that error.
  2. Check the game's log folder on macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/com.KonfaGames.HullRupture or ~/Library/Application Support/Konfa Games/HullRupture — for what the launch actually did. The performance guide has the paths for all three platforms.
  3. Note that the game uses Sentry for error reporting, and players who block all outbound traffic have reported the demo failing to start or hanging on exit.

Where macOS sits overall

macOS is a first-class platform for Hull Rupture, one of three alongside Windows and Linux, with Steam Cloud and Family Sharing support. There is no separate iOS or Android edition — the native macOS build is the only Apple-platform version of the game.
