General information
macOS Compatibility
| Method | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rosetta 2 | ||
| Compatibility layer | ||
| CrossOver | Game works perfectly at 1080p.[1] Game runs stable on latest version of Crossover.[2] Running game threw a "Needs Windows 10" error, which was fixable using some IDA Freeware 8.2 jiu jitsu found online. Once fixed, runs pretty well, although on the lowest settings. There is some stuttering, but it is playable, and it looks pretty good.[3] | |
| Wine | Playable using the Heroic Games Launcher with GPTK wine-7.7. Some white dot noise on characters in low light scenes, otherwise perfect. | |
| Virtualization | ||
| Parallels | Game does not start at all, it says that the game needs windows 10 to run, even if it's running on a Win10.[4] Game ran under Parallels, but the frame rate makes it largely unplayable even on the lowest settings.[3] |

- Comment: Game able to stay at either 60 but was experiencing drops at higher framerates. Framerate will depend on tweaks to upscaling. 80 Frames was achieved by upscaling from lowest resolution, but overall framerate hovers around 70-75.
