macOS Compatibility

Compatibility layer	Rating	Notes
CrossOver	Perfect	Requires fixes, see #CrossOver.
Wine	Runs	Game menu boots, changing the display resolution is iffy and requires restarting after saving. Once you start a new/previous save, the graphics are all bugged and epilepsy-inducing. There's also no voice lines, even when the characters (like Aidan) are on-call.
Virtualization
Parallels	Perfect	Playable.

CrossOver

CrossOver issues fixed

Graphics

In-game Displays and Graphics Quality options
For graphics, set the in-game Anti-Aliasing to MXAA 2x and Shadows to Low.

Audio

Wine Configuration
For audio, modify the Wine configuration by 1) adding a native override for xaudio2_7 and 2) setting the Windows version for the watch_dogs.exe (Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Watch_Dogs/bin/watch_dogs.exe) to Windows XP.
