macOS Compatibility
| Compatibility layer | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CrossOver | 1 or 2 type of enemies are invisible but they are very easy to kill.[1][2] | |
| Wine | A few enemies are invisible and a few have bugged textures. Most notably the Hounds of the Wild Hunt are invisible in the first quest you meet them, the rotfiends are invisible in Velen and the sirens are invisible in Skellige. Skellige also has a lot of places in the coastline where the game becomes very glitchy.[3] | |

- Comment: NVIDIA Hairworks must be turned off, game crashes if the graphics quality is higher than the Medium preset and every postprocessing item can be turned on and still have the game be smooth (except motion blur). When using PortingKit the game does not exit when the button has been pressed in-game, it only closes the window. To exit fully, either go to PortingKit and kill all processes using the PortingKit GUI, or go to Activity Monitor and kill all the wine processes. If the game does not launch (wine process starts, then quits automatically) restart your computer and try again.
