Notes

Unity 5.6.7f1 D3D11 → D3DMetal (Cyberpunk/FO4 class, not NMS Vulkan). Native macOS depot exists because Unity shipped a Mac player; Windows PE is Cities.exe. Steam's default target is Paradox dowser.exe — skip it. Do not set unix TMPDIR to a Windows path; the TMPDIR fix is the Windows registry Environment key (saves/mods). Pin CX_GRAPHICS_BACKEND=d3dmetal (winecx) so DX11 does not fall onto DXMT. Play script: bash .scratch/cities-skylines-20260815/play-cities-skylines.sh. Do not use Libraries.rgl or Libraries.vk. Do not claim the user has played it until they have.
