Path of Exile 2 with CrossOver, terrible performance

Anyone can help me with the proper configuration to run POE 2 with CrossOver on MacOS Tahoe, paid version 26.1.0

Problems:
- FPS constantly drops
- Terrible resolution. No GPU usage

Computer Settings:

MacBook Pro
Chip: Apple M4
Memory: 24GB
OS: Tahoe 26.4.1

After a few old videos on youtube to run POE 2 on Mac, i notice that D3DMETAL is not compatible with default POE 2 Processor "Vulkan". So i had to lock "D3DMETAL" and "MSync" at Crossover, and update inside game configs to use Directx12 instead of Vulkan.

This change solved the FPS Drop, now the game is at least playable.

I have a MacBook Pro 2024 (M4, 24 GB) with Tahoe 26.4.1.

I just downloaded the latest version of Crossover 26.1.0

I was able to install the Battle.net app, download the Diablo IV and start the game.

After a few minutes the game freeze and only recover after a "Force quit".

My bottle already have D3DMetal and MSync Enabled.

I've found two issues, one 1 minor and second critical:

1 - Medium: Battle.net client constantly displays the game needs to update to latest patch, every 10 seconds. After a bunch of tries, it took 10 minutes****, i'm able to open the game. But it keeps always saying need update.

*** Click on update, wait until play appears, click on play. But client prevent to open the game and then displays Update again.

2 - Critical: The game start, 50 FPS and fluid. but after just a few minutes it starts to fill all available memory. Last time it freeze when reach 19GB of ram.

Anyone have a clue on how to fix this 2 issues?

UPDATES:

1 - Simulate reboot from bottle make the game open at first time, but keep asking to update

2- Some times the game is freezing even with just 8 Gb of ram and before loading character.
