Alien Isolation

Revision as of 06:47, 9 December 2024 by Nitrothunder224 (talk | contribs) (Added an entry on how it works in Whisky. I suspect Whisky worked but (at this point in time before testing) not Crossover because Whisky has integrated GPT 2.0 integrated in modern releases. At the time of Crossover's official compatibility in 2022, the GPT was not even released yet. TLDR: Will install GPT into Crossover to test it's compatibility at the end of 2024.)

macOS Compatibility

Method Rating Notes
Rosetta 2 Perfect
iOS/iPadOS App Perfect Weird performance on Graphics preset. [1]
Compatibility layer
CrossOver Unplayable
Wine Runs No matter if you use DXVK or AXV instructions, the game does not show 90% visuals past the title screen. Also, changing the resolution settings from one max to a slightly lower max it crashes. To bypass it, go from a high resolution to a low one, save settings by pressing escape, then load and save the new graphic setting.[2]
Virtualization
Parallels Perfect

Availability

See PCGamingWiki for Windows and/or Linux availability.
