the game works fine and run silky smooth on the latest macOS Big Sur just incase you are wondering
I think blizzard should have overhaul heroes in ARM code so that the game can run on maximum performance when they start making the transition at the end of the year
I am touched that Apple would take such a risk to cut off ancient Intel x86 cpu by taking everything in house with their crazy power performance efficient custom silicon
Apple has always embraced big changes to stay at the forefront of personal computing… Jesus Christ … they have elevated Mac to a new height

And, what of the graphical glitches that were introduced since the transition to Metal?
ok so the game is still crashing on sun temple when everything are set on ultra and shader and set on ultra
( reduce shader on medium DOES SOLVE the problem but why would I dumb it down because of the software issue ? )

I hope that they are going to compile the game also for ARM, because it is the only one which I am currently playing frequently on my Mac. 
Till then I hope Rosetta 2 is capable to emulate all required operations for the new ARM Macs, but we will see.
Edit: One good thing: Diablo Immortal should be running without any big changes on Macs in future.
