General notes

controller support

Game runs generaly fine on apple silicon. There is one issue with the DS4 controller that couldn't be detected though. The workaround for that issue is to use a more recent build of libSDL2.dylib with fixed rpath and replace the one found in the game with the new one. The maintainer of wineskin, gcenx made such a version of libSDL2, and thus, one quick way to get the file is to download latest Wineskin wrapper and grab the libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib from it. (show package contents, search for 'sdl') copy that file on your desktop, rename it to just: libSDL2.dylib and copy it into Dying Light/DyingLightGame.app/Contents/Frameworks/ replacing the previous one. An interesting thing to note: that fix may also work with other SDL2 games with dysfunctional controller support.
