macOS Compatibility

Method Rating Notes
Native Perfect A significant performance boost compared to the crossover. Even the base M1 chip can pull 60+ frames with low-medium settings. CPU, memory, and GPU resources are now managed effectively. Previously, 8GB models experienced memory bottlenecks. But now, with the maximum graphics settings, I barely saw memory usage exceed 5GB.[1]
Compatibility layer
CrossOver Perfect Solid 30 fps on M1 Pro with Crossover 23.5 and Heroic.[2]
Wine Perfect Game Porting Toolkit - the game must be run from Terminal, you must cd into the Control folder otherwise it'll complain of missing Data folder. Change the Control_DX12.exe to Control.exe and launch. Same fix works with heroic's staging build that allows use of Game porting Toolkit Wine.
Virtualization
Parallels Playable Low framerates on M1 Mac but playable, make sure to launch DirectX 11 exe.[3]Unplayable.[4]Great framerates on medium settings with M1 Max.[5]
