2560 × 1600 | Default settings, 60 fps | The game opens slowly in Steam. But once it's running, it's smooth. I played a single player FFA skirmish against 3 AI as smoothly as on Boot Camp on the 16" Macbook Pro. I'm running MacOS Big Sur 11.0.1. I don't know whether this mattered or not, but I applied the recommended steps for AOEII: Definitive Edition (https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/k3ac4y/aoe2de_on_osx_using_crossover/) in the same Steam bottle | Steam |
