You may have to change display settings to full screen to avoid a red texture or lighting problem. Also, the game froze on me twice (with an earlier version of CrossOver) and needed to be force closed. The fix is to turn depth of field all the way down. I didn't test with it on with this version of CrossOver.

Frame rate was between 25 and 35 with the medium preset (at 1440p -- I have a 4K monitor) and a bit higher with the low preset. It was above 30 FPS most of the time. The game froze on me twice and needed to be force closed. I turned depth of field all the way down and that appears to have fixed it.
