| Method | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Native | 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 | Solid 30 fps on M1 Pro with Crossover 23.5 and Heroic.[2] | |
| Wine | 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 | 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] |

- Comment: if you want to get more than 60 fps with an trade off with image quality, then turn of HDR, Global Reflection to low. I can't see the difference of Framerate after 55-60 fps. So my settings are pretty medium-high. also sometimes I turn on RT reflections. frame drops from 60 to 45-50. which is not a problem to me but if your goal is to keep 60fps then do not turn on any RT in base M3 or M4 chips. also note that RT will not work in any M1 or M2 chips, even in M2 ultra studio. You need M3 or M4 for RT.
