Steam version used to crash at start (fixed in newer versions of Crossover), despite having no anti-tamper software. Cracked version works with good performance using DXVK, which has better performance than D3DMetal and DXMT, just having a bit more initial shader compilation stutter, but it soon gets stable.

It's possible to inject TAA (Alias Isolation mod) to immensely improve image quality, as well as other mods, just put the mod files in the main game directory and add the .dll name in Wine Configuration > Libraries (native, builtin) inside your bottle. Controller works but I had to disable Hidraw in Crossover

Newer versions of Crossover improved this, so Steam version works now. by default. Just be mindful that D3DMetal or DXMT are particular about display mode in this game, each will only boot sometimes with either Fullscreen of Borderless.

On macOS Tahoe Steam version runs fine, DXMT is more performant than D3DMetal and DXVK.
Frame rate above 105 fps can create sound glitches so cap at 60 or your preferred refresh rate.

Just be mindful that D3DMetal or DXMT can get particularly wonky about display mode in this game, each will only boot sometimes with either Fullscreen of Borderless.

For DXMT open cxbottle.conf in your bottle root folder and add to [EnvironmentVariables]:
"DXMT_CONFIG" = "d3d11.preferredMaxFrameRate=60"

Recommended mods: Alias Isolation (TAA), remove item glow, skip save confirmation, upscaled 4k movies, PS5 controller buttons.

On macOS Tahoe Windows Steam version runs fine, DXMT is more performant than D3DMetal and DXVK. Much better than the native port which uses outdated OpenGL and has terrible antialiasing.

There's a known PC issue in which frame rates above 105 fps can create sound or physics glitches so cap FPS at 100, 60 or whatever is your preferred refresh rate below that value (ideally your display should also support a multiple of it for better frame pacing).

Just be mindful that D3DMetal or DXMT can get particularly wonky about display mode in this game, each will only boot sometimes with either Fullscreen of Borderless.

For limiting FPS when using DXMT open cxbottle.conf in your bottle root folder and add to [EnvironmentVariables]:
"DXMT_CONFIG" = "d3d11.preferredMaxFrameRate=60"

For limiting FPS when using D3DMetal (and GPTK4) open cxbottle.conf in your bottle root folder and add to [EnvironmentVariables]: "D3DM_MAX_FPS" = "60"

Recommended mods: Alias Isolation (TAA), remove item glow, skip save confirmation, upscaled 4k movies, PS5 controller buttons.

Maybe because it's a somewhat old x86 OpenGL game, it seems to demand a lot from the CPU and/or there's a lot of unoptimized code as it's translated through Rosetta 2. Can't get a stable 60 fps on M1 Pro no matter the resolution and graphics settings.

SSAO can cause performance dips, so consider disabling it. Considering the already dark environments, there's not much difference in image fidelity.

Anti-aliasing is broken, options have not much effect in image quality and it looks awfully distracting. On the PC version you can inject TAA to make it better and also experiment with quality of life/immersion tweaks via community mods.

Boots normally into the main menu but crashes when starting a new game or continuing a save game . Same occurs with VMware Fusion.
