This is not accurate. This version of Wine can’t run 32-bit Windows apps on 10.15, but 64-bit apps do run. Also, CodeWeavers CrossOver can run 32 and 64-bit apps on 10.15.

Most old games however are 32-bit. Don't have time at the moment to test but I bet I lost UT2004 when I upgraded my Mac to 10.15...

You definitely did. It's a 16-year old game so it definitely was 32-bit unless someone created a port or an updated .exe using a newer Unreal version.

I'll admit this is a very niche usecase, but not even CrossOver runs 16 bit apps anymore (like Minesweeper for Windows 98). Luckily the Windows XP version is basically the same and is 32-bit.
