I was using DX12 with V-Sync turned on, and I am running the latest version of macOS, which is Sequoia 15.1. I had to modify the in-game settings file to switch from Vulkan to DX12, which helped the game launch properly.}}</ref>

    Device: MacBook Air M3 8GB 8core CPU 8core GPU
    OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1
    Method: Crossover 25.0~b4 (25.0.0.38538)
    Store: Direct Install from DODI(yes, there is a reason for this read the comment below.)
    Resolution: 1280x832
    Settings: VSYNC half, FXAA on, TXAA medium, Texture:medium and every others set to low
    Framerate: 30 FPS
    Comment: The official steam version's performance is terrible. the main reason is rockstar launcher. which eats performance. i get 15-20 fps in official version. then i tried the direct install from DODI. this is working flawlessly. note that official version from steam works well in 16gb models. but in 8gb model if you want to play go for pirated version. if you have more ram, purchase it from steam. the FPS is constant. no stutters. i locked vsync in half. if not locked then fps goes to 35-40 but not constant. so i locked in 30. note that in crowded cities fps downs to 26-27. not a big problem. shadows do not render properly everytime else everything is perfect. also run it in crossover preview 24 beta 3. i manually tried to upgrade the gptk library of crossover 24.7 and whisky. result is in crossover game menu launched but game crashed and in whisky game launches but performance is bad. so only go for crossover 24 beta 3.
