Platform recommendations

Linux

Using Steam or Heroic Launcher is likely best here. Please use some kind of Wine or Proton newer than Wine 8.

MacOS

Using Heroic Launcher is recommended on macOS. Please for the love of all that is good in this world, do not use Whiskey. They ship Wine 7. It's rough.

If you do pay for Crossover and wish to use it, set Graphics to DXMT, Synchronization to MSync and in winecfg set d3d11.dll to native-then-builtin. A user reports that DXVK was extremely stuttery and D3DMetal doesn't work properly with Nexus.

Windows

It already works?

ArcDPS

0. Have ArcDPS installed.
