|---|---|---|
| CrossOver | Please see the "Issues fixed" section below for instructions on installing and running the standalone and Steam versions of this game. | |
| Wine | ||
| Virtualization | ||
| Parallels | Boots. Main menu is fine. However, actual gameplay is riddled with graphical issues. AWACS View (F10) works just fine. FPS surges up and down, causing extremely unstable performance. |
