Issues

Current issues

Offline only. Running the game via CrossOver renders any online functionality unavailable, as Easy Anti-Cheat isn't working.

Resolution issues. Choice of resolutions is limited only up to 1512x982 on fullscreen and up to 1440x810 on windowed (while screen itself is 4K), while there are no such limits on fullscreen windowed. Also changing resolution doesn't change the size of the window itself when using windowed option (and you can't resize the window like a regular one).

Image cropping. On fullscreen and windowed fullscreen on there are black bars on the top and bottom of the screen when using any resolution, which narrows the image (while interface is not affected).

No fullscreen on 2nd screen. If you have 2nd monitor, it seems to be not possible to move the fullscreen game there, as no matter if the game is in window or windowed fullscreen or if you use Command Control or tools like Rectangle - enabling fullscreen always returns it to Macbook's one.

Issues resolved

Game requires DirectX 12, which was implemented by CrossOver in version 23.5, MacOS Sonoma is required for that to work.

Game crashes while opening by default, so you need to toggle D3DMetal and ESync in Crossover for game to start.
