macOS Compatibility
| Compatibility layer | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CrossOver | Runs at a stable 60fps at 3840x2400 on an M1 Macbook Pro with 16gb RAM on MacOS Sequoia with D3DMetal and Msync turned on, and using GPTK2 and CXPatcher. No stutters, glitches, or crashes after 2 hours of play. Cutscenes render perfectly without any modifications. Untested on base CrossOver. Ubisoft Connect does not work in CrossOver unless the bottle is set to Windows 7 mode. DRM-free copies of the game have not been tested but are presumed to have the same limitation. | |
| Virtualization | ||
| Parallels | The game is running at a stable 60-55 fps, at a resolution of 2560x1600. When playing, the laptop warmed up a little, after an hour of playing, the fans turned on. Artefacts were not noticed and other bugs. Setting up parallels, under which I tested the game: 4 gigabytes of RAM, 4 cores, Retina resolution. Played on MacBook Pro M1: 8 RAM/8 cores. |
