Additional Information

The game itself works fine on macOS but the base mac mini m4 isn't powerful enough for a decent frame rate. I tried FSR 3 and DLSS. The frame rate was only around 20 most of the time. I didn't try frame generation.

It launches to a black screen with a mouse pointer (a game styled mouse pointer). CPU activity didn't show shader processing, the game just doesn't work.

Additional Information

From the reviews on steam it seems the game has performance issues at some point. I hadn't played long enough to experience it apparently.

Update: After playing the demo on my Linux Gaming PC, I only experienced occasional frame rate issues using the other two quality modes, not on performance mode. It seems to be related to weather (rain, ice, snow). The demo could be out-dated though.
