Thanks Cuga, yeah I figured that as well out already that there is no dedicated switch to enable x86 emulation but that FS already runs on that. Regarding Parallels: I installed a 14 day free trial with window 11 and tried with both FS and Catznip. But forget this. It is even much slower compared to the native Rosetta 2 emulation.

See my tests above...not that much promising 😞

Hello, guess I need some help as my FPS rates are not as good as some of you are reporting here with the M1 and give the fact I am on the M1 Max I would assume quite good performance. I am on the 16'' MacBookPro M1 Max with 10Core CPU, 32 Core GPU and 32GB of RAM. SSD is 1TB and macOS Monterey 12.0.1 I will add some screen shots. Basically it is no difference for me if I have HiDPi Display activated or not in Firestorm 1st image: FS MediumHigh Charkyn Forest HiDPi on: FPS at 31.2 https://gyazo.com/8e336fe69eaabdad969903340344d85e 2nd image: FS Ultra Charkyn Forest HDPI on: FPS down to 6.8 https://gyazo.com/835e65a0fe83987e2a81cefd70d009a3 3rd image: FS Low Charkyn Forest HiDPi on: FPS down to 14.2 (very surprising with lowest graphics settings) https://gyazo.com/cf0c10e5cf3def034227d6996f94470d 4th image: FS MediumHigh Charkyn Forest HiDPi off: FPS at 36.4 https://gyazo.com/e1ffc514d49250e891de466d933bbd21 5th image: FS Ultra Charkyn Forest HDPI off: FPS down to 8.7 https://gyazo.com/8271dcdf884fde291191552ff7c1f027 6th image: FS Low Charkyn Forest HiDPi off: FPS down to 5.6 (even more surprising with lowest graphics settings and HiDPi off) https://gyazo.com/7809383a711361b27f4b1a1788ca8f82 7th image taken at a club: FS MediumHigh Muddys Music Cafe HiDPi on: FPS 10.1 https://gyazo.com/cb4f1accdcce63420cb11c93f5038090 Any support / ideas how I can make FS faster are highly welcome.

Hi Cuga, thats an interesting fact. How do you force FS to run under x86 emulation? I already right click the FS app in the application folder and opened the info to see if it has the "open using Rosetta" checkbox enabled, but it doesn't give that option. I am using FS on MBP 16'', M1 Max 10/32/32 and I am pretty disappointed with the fps. On Ultra even the sim is empty I get just 6-8 fps. On Medium with water reflection disabled I have around 20 fps dropping back to 8 if the sim is more crowded.
