Device: 2020 MB Air M1, 16GB

OS: Mac OS Sonoma 14

Method: Crossover 23.6 + CXPatcher. DXVK/D3DMetal modes

Resolution: 1440х900

Settings: Medium

Framerate: 30-50

Comment: DXVK: Runs well on medium settings with no visual glitches. About 30-50 fps until M1 chip starts throttling due to overheating (in about 2 minutes), then fps drops by aproximately 25% depending on the scene. D3DMetal: definitely a more performant option with stable and higher fps. Graphics issues mentioned below can be fixed by using a CXPatcher.
