Works great! Didn't need to adjust any of the bottle's graphics settings.
The game ran with no sound but I found a solution for this:
Open the c: drive for the bottle, and go to this folder:
Mass Effect Launcher - English Voice and multisubs
While in this folder, run "MassEffectLauncher.exe" you'll find there via CrossOver, and you'll notice that it has an extra option that's not available in the default launcher, which is "English VO", tick this option, try to run the game via this launcher but it won't run, then run it again through the main launcher from the bottle main screen and sound should be working fine with no issues!

CrossOver
v26.1
So far have tested ME1. Performs great but requires specific settings to mitigate hitching and stutters.
DXMT performs better than D3DMetal which causes frequent hitching.
Msync OFF, otherwise this also causes hitching and stutters. V-sync OFF for same reason. High res mode disabled.
Unable to launch with MetalHub overlay so not sure of exact Fps but it is clearly running consistently at 60fps or higher and is as smooth as.a native game. Still, there is the occasional stutter, not intrusive, likely frame pacing issue or asset loading. Otherwise it is perfect. Will update when ME2 and 3 are tested
