First Impressions
Tested on a Mac mini M4 Pro using CXPatcher with CrossOver 25 and honestly, it runs really well. The game boots up fast, menus work flawlessly, and there are no stability issues or random crashes. For a Windows-only title running through Wine, thats impressive.
Performance on macOS
At 1080p High settings with FSR 3 upscaling, the game stays between 50110 FPS depending on the scene.
Gameplay feels smooth, loading times are short, and performance holds up even during heavy action sequences.
Just make sure to keep V-Sync OFF — it tanks performance by forcing a 30 / 60 FPS lock depending on your display’s refresh rate.
Bugs and Limitations
- Visual glitch on trees and bushes — ghosting and flickering, like ripple effects. Likely a Metal + Nanite + FSR issue on Apple Silicon (M4).
- ️ Minor stutters when loading new areas — brief, but noticeable.
If you want even smoother results, try an FPS optimization config from Nexus Mods — it makes a real difference.
Conclusion
Overall, the game is totally playable and surprisingly smooth for such a demanding mod.
No crashes, fast loading, solid visuals — just that minor foliage glitch holding it back from perfection.
If you’re curious how far Apple’s M-series chips have come for gaming under CrossOver, this one’s worth checking out.
Note: I had to rewrite this article from scratch after losing my backup — so this is a fresh version written some time later.
