Additional Information

It looks great and plays great except sometimes there's a graphical glitch that shows up. Changing any graphic setting (and saving) fixes it until it returns again. It appears to be caused by the waves hitting land.

    CrossOver

    v25.0.1

  • Graphics Preset Custom

Additional Information

I had settings mostly on Ultra but that was too high for 1440p. It played well except it would eventually give me two mouse pointers (the game pointer and the mac pointer). I had to turn off the kill animation since it would freeze the game for a few seconds every time.
