How does the game run on Mac M1 chips? If at all

[Alex]

want to play the game but haven't found any info on M1 chip compatibility

I just tested it with a fresh start game on my M1 Max MacBook Pro and it ran very well. It is an Intel Binary so it runs in Rosetta2. It is using 280% of CPU (so 2.8 cores out of the 10) and 4.32 GB of RAM. If I am outputting it to an external monitor at 1920x1080 with all of the graphic settings at max, the 32 GPU covers are maxed and FPS is about 20. If I turn down the settings a bit, I get better than 60 FPS and the GPU usage drops to 80%. I think it will run on a base M1 but you probably will need to turn down the graphics settings quite a bit to get it to run smoothly.

Wow, thank you for the reply. I've got an M1 Pro, so judging by your performance it should run just fine at 1080p medium settings. Thanks again!

Cheers!
It was nice to revisit this game. I love it so much and it's nice that it still works on Apple Silicon. Happy gaming!
