Vector distribution + compatibility hub

Mac gaming compatibility without the ritual sacrifice.

Vector gives bottles a clean control surface: patch dispatch, runtime health, dependency repair, graphics routing, and protected multiplayer honesty in one compact Mac-native utility.

Product visuals

Built like a real Mac utility, not a compatibility spreadsheet.

The public site now shows the actual product direction: bottle health, patch status, protected-game policy, and release metadata in one compact control surface.

Protected multiplayer

EAC/BattlEye titles lock down risky tools automatically.

No trainers, no memory bridge, no unsigned local mutation.

Product-grade surface

VecPatch loop

Reports become reviewable compatibility suggestions.

Admin-only intake keeps public rules clean.

External bottles

Bottles can live on fast external storage.

Vector keeps runtime paths and repair scripts consistent.

Product-grade surface
Product architecture

A quieter control plane for a very loud problem.

Vector should feel like a premium utility: compact, technical, safe by default, and direct about what it can and cannot run.

One-click bottle prep

Builds a tuned Windows environment with launcher installs, runtime checks, dependency repair, and sane rollback points.

VecPatch dispatch

Fetches compatibility rules, backend preferences, safety policy, and patch metadata without burying users in config noise.

Smart graphics routing

Chooses DXVK, DXMT, D3DMetal, or WineD3D based on game profile, runtime support, and observed failure signatures.

Protected multiplayer guardrails

Detects anti-cheat titles and locks down risky tooling instead of pretending unsupported games are safe to launch.

Launch Doctor

Classifies common failures like missing WebView2, DX11 feature issues, wineserver mismatch, and stale DLL overrides.

Compatibility hub

Shows status, notes, known fixes, and recommended launch mode with enough detail for power users and normal people.

VecPatch dispatch

Patches that explain themselves before they touch your bottle.

The site now reads the production VecPatch manifest directly: 21 rules, ed25519 delivery, and trust metadata for protected titles.

Open VecPatch page
01

Detect

Vector reads the executable, bottle, runtime, launcher, app ID, graphics backend, and known anti-cheat markers.

02

Resolve

VecPatch and local intelligence choose the safest rule set, dependency plan, and graphics translation path.

03

Prepare

Vector snapshots the bottle, applies verified changes, fixes missing runtime pieces, and writes clear logs.

04

Launch

Users get a compact launch view with backend visibility, health state, and a recovery path if the game fails.

Compatibility database

Clear statuses, not guesswork.

The public database is derived from VecPatch rules and trimmed to the things users care about: status, compatibility level, backend, and known issues.

Design principles

Modern, but still a tool.

The visual system keeps the app serious: dense panels, low-noise typography, restrained highlights, and a Mac utility feel.

Compact panels

Information is grouped into dense, readable modules instead of dashboard sprawl.

Status first

Every surface answers: is it ready, what changed, and what should I do next?

Trust by default

Protected titles, signed patches, and runtime attestation are treated as first-class product features.

Mac-native edge

The visual language nods to Metal, runtime probes, and bottle health without becoming terminal spam.

A real distribution surface, not a dead download button.

Current channel: v2.6.0. Runtime artefacts, hashes, source snapshots, and VecPatch metadata are all available from the Distribution Centre.
