CrossOver | The game runs perfectly with DXVK in mostly high details on Crossover 23.6. With D3DMetal, performance degrades after a few minutes of play. Both methods cause audio problems that can be resolved by opening the Audio-MIDI-Setup app and adjusting the format to 88,000+ Hz.[1] For more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6UW6s_3TG0 | |
Wine | Use -nojoy as a launch argument. I had a perfect experience playing CS2 if I used PortingKit and manually compiling GPTK, then merging the wine files from GPTK into the PortingKit's wine files. See Tutorial Videos section for a guide. I used the -vulkan launch argument for better fullscreen windowed support as well as a more stable framerate. [2] |

Fixing Mouse Input
If mouse acceleration is enabled on your Mac the game will seemingly ignore small mouse movements. This can be fixed by disabling mouse acceleration in the MacOS system settings
Useful Launch Arguments
-nojoy
: Essential for running this game to run at a stable framerate-fullscreen
: Launches the game in Fullscreen-+cl_forcepreload 1
: Forces the game to pre-load shaders - Reports of improved performance
