XCOM 2

macOS Compatibility

Method	Rating	Notes
Rosetta 2	Playable	Playable. It should be noted this version (Rosetta2) is very poorly optimised. Even on M1 Max barely getting playable FPS 20-30 at 1200p irrespective of graphics setting. Wish there was a native optimised version of this game for apple silicon :( ^[1]
Compatibility layer
CrossOver	Perfect	You have to bypass the launcher, enable ESYNC and DXVK. Tasted with Crossover 21 and 22 on M1 Pro and M1 Max. Perfect in Crossover 24 without bypassing stock launcher. Mods also work via stock launcher. ^[2]
Wine	Unknown
Virtualization
Parallels	Playable	Playable with minimal setings at 1200p M1 Max 20-60 FPS jumps. Steam version. Game is very poorly optimised with Mac rosetta Feral interactive version, barely getting consistent 20-30 fps at 1200p irrespective of graphics setting on a M1 Max. Hence wanted to check the performance in Windows Env. Crossover could nail this since they use full hardware but found glitches and bugs. Parallels offers playable experince but still inferior experience to mac rosetta version, which itself is below par :)
