Will online play work?

Discord & Voice Chat: A side issue. Running CS 1.6 via Wine means your system microphone may not map correctly. Solution: Use Discord on your macOS side (outside the Wine bottle) and use push-to-talk there. Do not try to use in-game voice.

Mods (CSO, CS 1.6 Brasil, etc.): The translation layer handles 99% of mods. Just copy the mod files into the cstrike directory inside your Wine/Whisky bottle. Remember that mods with custom .dll files (like AMX Mod X) work fine; mods with kernel-level anti-cheat will fail (but CS 1.6 doesn't use those). | Method | Feature coverage rating | Effort
