Good to know it at least works that way. But yeah, my experience with GOG Galaxy has not been positive thus far!

My 14" MBP with the M4 Pro chip runs Baldur's Gate 3 at 3840x1600 at what I believe are the highest settings (although I do have the MetalFX thing on, but at highest quality) really well. Often at 144...
