| Rosetta 2 | In fact, running the game from under Rosetta is an interesting question that I haven't found an answer to. From a "scientific point of view", the game can start, since in patch 1.27a, the game application was made 64-bit (support has appeared MacOS 10.10+). | |
| Virtualization | ||
| Parallels | The game works fine, I have not encountered any graphical bugs. The frame rate ranges from 50 to 60. It is also worth mentioning that sometimes there are friezes for 2-3 milliseconds. During the game, my Macbook Pro M1 (2020) did not turn on its coolers for an hour and a half of "pure gameplay", at the same time, the case was slightly heated. |
