- Comment: NVIDIA Hairworks must be turned off, game crashes if the graphics quality is higher than the Medium preset and every postprocessing item can be turned on and still have the game be smooth (except motion blur). When using PortingKit the game does not exit when the button has been pressed in-game, it only closes the window. To exit fully, either go to PortingKit and kill all processes using the PortingKit GUI, or go to Activity Monitor and kill all the wine processes. If the game does not launch (wine process starts, then quits automatically) restart your computer and try again.
