Additional Information

I had most settings on low but textures and details on high. I was getting about 32fps at 1440p and it didn't look that great. I switched it to 1080p and it looked much worse since I have a 4K monitor, but fps jumped to 45.

Additional Information

When launching the game for the first time it installs the rockstar app. Installation failed the first time. It took 3 times launching the game for it to fully install. After that it was fine.

I have most settings on low but textures set to ultra. I turned FSR on but it didn't seem to make a difference. It looks pretty good and it's definitely playable. I've played it for about 15 minutes so far.

I only tried story mode.

  • Launcher Steam
  • Graphics Preset Medium

Additional Information

The only issue was when I first launched the game the resolution was messed up. I had to set my monitor to 4K scaling (in macOS display settings), then change the resolution in the game, and then set my monitor back to 1440p. I also had to restart the game after.

I played it with most settings on medium and scaling at 100%.

  • Method

  • Launcher Steam
  • Graphics Preset High

Additional Information

It didn't provide a setting for increasing the resolution above 1080p, which is too small of a window on my 4K monitor. My settings otherwise were mostly on high. The frame rate fluctuated between 35 and 50, but was smooth.

Additional Information

On first launch it installed the EA app. After the EA app installed and I logged into it I had to close it, Steam, and restart CrossOver because the game wouldn't display after trying to launch it (it was running in the background). I had no problems after that.
