CrossOver Perfect Game runs perfect with DXVK in Crossover 23.6. With D3DM the performance lowers after some minutes of gameplay. Both methods cause audio issues which can be fixed if using the headphone Jack by opening the Audio MIDI app and adjusting the Format to 88,000+ Hz [1]
Wine Perfect Use -nojoy as a launch argument. I had a perfect experience playing CS2 if I used PortingKit and manually compiling GPTK, then merging the wine files from GPTK into the PortingKit's wine files. See Tutorial Videos section for a guide. I used the -vulkan launch argument for better fullscreen windowed support as well as a more stable framerate. [2]

Fixing Mouse Input

If mouse acceleration is enabled on your Mac the game will seemingly ignore small mouse movements. This can be fixed by disabling mouse acceleration in the MacOS system settings
