Age of Empires IV running at 70-150 fps on Apple Silicon

Marc Ibrahim, who builds GameToMac, had GPT-6 Astra work on getting the Windows strategy game to run on a Mac. CrossOver managed about 8 fps and froze constantly; the new build holds 70 to 150 fps at max settings in big online battles.

GPT-6 Astra just got Age of Empires IV running at 70-150 fps on Apple Silicon.

CrossOver was doing ~8 fps and freezing constantly.

now: max settings, big fights, online, stable.

I genuinely did not think this game was going to run like this on a Mac
