quartetpress.com Desktop for Mac
As you would expect, I use the latest version of quartetpress.com Desktop, version 16.5, & I have nine virtual machines installed with operating systems ranging from Windows XP & MacOS Lion to Windows 10 Insider Preview và macOS Big Sur.

Details:
Age of Empires II Definitive Edition (101.101.47820.0) with both the Enhanced Graphics Pack & the Lords of the West expansion pack.Age of Empires III Definitive Edition (100.12.24632.0) with the United States Civilization expansion pack.I play both of these in the full screen in Windows, but I use the Window View mode in quartetpress.com Desktop. I turn off some of the high-end graphics preferences lượt thích Fog Animation và Bloom. At first launch, I bởi see a warning that Age of Empires does not detect sufficient graphics memory, but I ignore this warning because I know that quartetpress.com Desktop provides graphics memory lớn Windows apps in a manner that Age of Empires does not know about. Age of Empires also runs a quick processor and graphics benchmark test, and my system is rated “High” for both CPU and graphics.
Speaking of benchmarks, Age of Empires II does have an internal game benchmark, which runs for a few minutes with LOTS of players và LOTS of game action (Figure 3). The final score of this benchmark for my iMac is 1172.6.
