Helldivers 2on your Mac.
Helldivers 2 does not run on a Mac - not through Hrava, and not through any other solution. nProtect GameGuard is a kernel-level Windows driver that has to load before the game starts, and Helldivers 2 refuses to run without it; macOS does not load Windows kernel drivers. There is no offline mode to fall back on either - every mission, solo included, is played on Arrowhead’s servers. This is a macOS limitation, not a Hrava one.
Know your setup
The details that matter.
- Mac & macOS
- Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 and newer), macOS 14+
- Verdict
- Helldivers 2 does not launch on Mac
- Anti-cheat
- Anti-cheat blocks launch - nProtect GameGuard (kernel-level) loads before the game, so it does not start on Mac in any mode
- Performance
- No FPS benchmark published here. Results depend on your Mac, settings and game version.
Before you press Play
A profile, not a promise.
This is an existing catalog profile, not a benchmark or a guarantee for every Mac. Check the setup and game-specific notes before purchasing.
Game updates, launchers and anti-cheat can change compatibility. A catalog listing is not a guarantee that every mode works on every configuration.
Hrava runs thousands of Windows games natively on Apple Silicon. Check the catalog before you buy.
Kernel-level anti-cheat - nProtect GameGuard, EAC, EA AntiCheat, Vanguard, BattlEye - is a Windows kernel driver. macOS does not load Windows drivers, so no translation layer can get around it: not Hrava, not CrossOver, not Whisky, not a virtual machine. Helldivers 2 will not start unless GameGuard is already running, and the game is online-only on top of that - there is no single-player mode that could work without the servers, so there is no partial workaround here. Until Arrowhead supports the Mac, the game stays unplayable here - the rest of our catalog is unaffected.
Write to support@hrava.com and we will refund you - the 14-day money-back guarantee covers exactly this case. If you want the same four-player horde co-op, Deep Rock Galactic and Risk of Rain 2 run natively on Apple Silicon with no kernel driver involved.
