    OS: macOS 15.7.3 Sequoia
    Method: CrossOver 26.2 Beta 2, DXMT v0.72, MSync
    Store: EA App
    Resolution: 2160p (also tested 1440p Ultra)
    Settings: High graphics preset, Vsync On
    Framerate: 60 FPS (Capped)

    Comment: The game runs very well using DXMT. The standalone EA App version is highly recommended, as the Steam version struggles with DXMT/D3DMetal. Multiplayer with CrossPlay enabled works perfectly. Turning Vsync On fixes minor camera tearing. CrossOver may generate an error upon exit, but it does not affect subsequent runs. (Note: A Mac Mini M4 16GB also runs the game at 1080p Ultra at 60 FPS using DXMT).

    Comment: Playable with rare stutters. On this specific setup, it is ONLY playable using DXVK; other combinations crashed or gave wine errors. Major issue with the Steam version: the EA Link App generates a crash report every single time during the "preparing your game" phase, making the launch inconsistent.
