CrossOver
v25.0.1

CrossOver
v25.1.1
Struggling to hit 30fps on medium 1200p - not very well optimised

CrossOver
v26.0
Basically hovers around 60 - 80 fps with all settings maxed out except the anti aliasing quality. I find that DXMT offers better performance than D3DMETAL. Native runs much worse for me.
Some troubleshooting:
If Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition doesn't start go to "Steam/ steamapps/ common/ SleepingDogsDefinitiveEdition/ data"
Open DisplaySettings.xml
Change
<Fullscreen>1</Fullscreen> to <Fullscreen>0</Fullscreen>
Also, set anti aliasing to normal or lower for much better performance.

CrossOver
v26.0



CrossOver

50-60fps some small lag sometimes (rare)

Poor optimisation but runs well. FPS often at 60fps but drops occasionally even though this machine should handle this game fine.

Mini M4, 32GB.
Works like a charm! Full controller support [DS4] and the gameplay is smooth and great!

Steam version. Perfectly stable. Played it through the end. Doesnt fully support ultrawide screen though, the game itself renders in ultrawide, so thats cool, but the UI is centered 16:9.
