CrossOver
v25.0
- Graphics:
- HIGH
- FPS:
- 45
- Hardware:
- M3 PRO
Review Note:
Plays very well even with mods. Graphics settings are medium/high (mostly high). Runs better than the native version. There are drops (fixed with FPS cap and lowering some useless settings)
CrossOver
v25.0
- Graphics:
- HIGH
- FPS:
- 40
- Resolution:
- 2560x1080
- Hardware:
- M1 BASE
Review Note:
Works great with DXMT. 2560x1080 upscaled with DXMT to 3440x1440. Locked at 40 fps with drops to 30 in object heavy areas like city centers. Use DEFAULT sync, on Esync or Msync game menu is working very slow on game version 1.54.

Review Note:
It runs VERY bad natively (30 fps on High settings) so I recommend to use CrossOver. Just set up graphics settings to you. Ultra has many settings that that change almost nothing

Lowest possible settings, cant see anything, pixels everyone, just not a good time playing this. Recommend using NVIDIA GeforceNOW to play, it was great there with highest settings and stable fps.

Review Note:
Definitely isn't perfect, the game isn't well optimised. But despite that, both base game and map DLCs are playable (haven't tried the latest one, Nordic Horizons, yet)

Review Note:
Runs extremely slow, switching between Native and CrossOver does not resolve the issue.

Review Note:
I have no clue why does native version run only on 30FPS while the Windows one using Crossover runs better.. Even after trying every possible option it's still stuck on 30FPS...

Review Note:
I suggest you to use Vulkan instead of OpenGL for this game: there are plenty of guides online that teach to do so. The performance is good in low settings with 100% scaling, locked to 60 FPS to avoid overheating and thermal throttling. The game runs fine, brightness might need to be adjusted, but a solid experience for who only has a Mac to play with. Side note, my Xbox controller does not work and I am trying to figure out a solution. Very much recommended to play.
