This game has an "enhanced graphics pack", installed within Steam by right-clicking on the game > Properties > DLC, and then by checking an option to enable it:
The last time I played this game was a couple of years ago under CrossOver 21. When I enabled this DLC at that time, the game immediately registered its availability within the game's graphical settings, but now it remains disabled as though it was not installed:
This is using the same hardware - base model M1 Macbook Air (Apple Silicon, 8gb ram)
I'm grumpy because this used to work, but the latest version of Steam is no longer launchable under Crossover 21, and so I had to buy another annual license to upgrade.
I'm running Crossover 23.7 and AOE2DE is the only game I play. I'm not having any issues at all with the enhanced graphics pack.
Running Sonoma on M2 Pro which is working superbly. Have you tried enabling DXVK and High Resolution Mode in the Bottle?
