Life is Strange Double Exposure Game lags a lot, crashes or freezes at start

Hi, so I'm completely new to Crossover, I just got the subscription last month and didn't get to try it for gaming yet. But today the new Life is Strange game Double Expsure came out and I figured I can play it on with Crossover. But no matter what I try, the game doesn't seem to work. Doesn't help that I'm a completely noob here.

What I get when I start the game, depending on different bottle settings varies from the game only starting for a few seconds, then closing. Or the game starts but takes ages to get to the game menu. And even when I am on the menu, everything is excruciatingly slow and eventually seems to just freeze and I have to force quit it. I didn't get further than the Gamma Settings. Can't even open the Graphic settings to maybe try if I lower the Resolution if it works.

What I tried so far is, deleting my steam bottle and creating it new.
Completely uninstalling Crossover, Steam, and the game.
Restarting my Mac several times.
I also tried out all possible variations of the advanced settings in the bottle.
And I also updated to the newest MacOs

As for my Mac details:

Chip: Apple M1
Operating System: MacOs Sequoia Versions 15.1

One more detail is, that when I launch the game on steam it shows me a popup that says:

*The installed version of the AMD graphics driver has known issues in D3D12.
Please install the latest driver version or switch to a different rendering API.

Would you like to visit the following URL to download the driver?

https://www.amd.com/en/support

AMD Compatibility Mode
Installed: 30.0.15.1233
Minimum required: 23.3.2*

Though, this pop up doesn't always come, i think it depends on my Advanced Settings in bottles. And even if it pops up, if I click no, it goes away and the Game launches anyway, but with the issues mentioned above.

I'm getting desperate. I got Crossover for this game specifically, so I really hope there's a way to make it work. I'll be grateful for any help!

Update: I'm a dumbass. It's my RAM. I only have 8GBs RAM so that's where it fails because apparently, the game needs around 10GBs
