I'm also not familiar enough with GMod or Source to know how much work it is to do anything about it.

I can imagine that running GMod on 64-bit exclusively isn't an option since there are plenty of 32-bit Linux and Windows users that would then no longer be able to use it, and maintaining two versions might not be possible either. So the issue isn't with GMod not working with CEF, it's CEF not working with macOS. The issue is that CEF (based on Chromium) no longer builds a 32-bit version for Mac OS X / macOS, and since GMod is 32-bit, it can only work with 32-bit CEF. GMod as it currently is won't be easily switchable to Source2 ( whenever it's available to be actually used anyway ), so even if Source2 fixes all issues, it's still not happening in the near future.Īlso mac poses an issue because apple moved mac to 圆4 only (as is common nowadays, windows is actually the only modern OS that still supports x86 'natively', all others need some sort of compatibility layer installed first), and google moved most of their stuff to follow that direction, essentially scrapping x86 support on CEF as well. The steam HTMLInterface however solves both cases, it has the licenses covered and since steam runs on mac, it's also able to actually run it's cef instance (for those who don't know, steam uses a slightly modified CEF branch of their own) There is still the possibility to just use a pre-CEF 2272 build for macs to run.īut it doesn't end there, CEF requires some tweaks and special licenses to allow patented codecs such as mp3 and x264. There are test builds of Source1 with 圆4, but they are, only tests. Source1 simply wasn't designed with 圆4 in mind, so more of a limitation then a requirement.
