1680 × 1050 Default I tried it on Big Sur 11.0.1, 11.1 Beta and 11.1 Final with Crossover and it runs bad. The Problem is Wine itself it uses Wined3d for playing GTA SA even on my different pc on Linux (i9 9900K and RTX 2080) GTA SA runs Bad when i use Wined3d. DXVK solving the Problem but Crossover brings only DXVK for DX10/11, it runs and you can load into the Game but when you are InGame it laggs very strong. For me i would say that it´s not playable Steam
