What the world thinks

Install CrossOver: Download and install CrossOver 24 or newer.
Create a Bottle: Click 'Install a Windows Application' and search for 'Steam'. Create a new Windows 10 64-bit bottle.
Install Steam: Follow the prompts to finish the Steam installation within that bottle.
Install the Game: Log into Steam, purchase and download Fields of Mistria.
Toggle Settings: In the right-hand sidebar of the Steam bottle in CrossOver, ensure D3DMetal is ON. If you encounter any flickering, switch to DXVK instead.

Whisky: This is a free, open-source alternative built on Game Porting Toolkit. Follow the same steps as CrossOver by creating a Windows 10 bottle and installing Steam. It performs similarly but lacks the official support of CrossOver.
Parallels Desktop: The game will run in a virtual machine, but this is less efficient than CrossOver or Whisky and may result in higher battery drain and slightly more input lag.
