Performance Reports
| Device | Playable | Environment | API | FPS | Resolution | Settings | Notes | Sources | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 💻 M1: MacBook Air 16GB | yes | CrossOver | 1152 x 720 | Default | A DirectX11 requirement warning, otherwise the tutorial ran pretty flawlessly. Added +noIntroCinematics to Launch game parameters | Steam | |||
| 💻 M1: MacBook Pro 13" 8GB | yes | CrossOver | 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 |
