NWN2 on M1 iMac - very poor frame rate with Crossover 23

Although I’ve mostly played EE, a few years ago I started NWN2 using Boot Camp only to have BC removed shortly after.

Just on a whim I used Gog’s offline installers and Crossover 23 to see if I could get it working - and it worked, to some extent. The game opens and so far hasn’t crashed once and I’m into Neverwinter.

Two main issues which are really bugging me.

  1. Performance. It is awful. Outside of combat it could be described as barely adequate and as soon as combat starts I basically lose control of it. I realise that I’m probably doing something wrong as testers using Crossover 23 have given the game 5 stars for playability this year. I did use the Crosstie to install my bottle so I’m at a loss what else I can do. I should add that I’ve already taken down the resolution, shadows, textures etc.

  2. Less critical is an audio issue where the ends of lines are clipped off.

Any help would be appreciated as despite the issues I’m still keen to complete the campaign modules.
