list of common problems:^[3]

Game runs on apple silicon, but suffer from a few issues:

VATS isn't working correctly: chances to hit near 0% or 1% most of the time.
Various render glitches: mostly seen in vegetation, plants represented in the game and light effects.
Prone to crash: often times, audio will start to fail progressively after running the game for a while. first NPC talks connot be heard anymore, then other audio problem will follow thus rendering some areas of the game impossible to pass through. fix is easy enough: quit and relaunch the game.
