This video was created on a Mac booting MacOS 15.1.1 running LOTRO using a commercial version of WINE known as Crossover (v24.0.5). This video was recorded with Quicktime Player on a 4k (3840x2160) monitor set for 2048x1152 with the game in Full Screen Windowed Mode and all graphics settings at maximum (except Antialiasing at 4x and Anisotropic Filtering at 4). If you have a Mac and wish to run LOTRO, there are a number of different ways to do so and most of them are free.

Very nice video & very helpful. Lets see what I can do with that 🙂
Nice to see a LM max difficulty build! (I'm still yet to get past Moria!)
You'd have to give up all that sweet Diablo II time!
@@JohnMHammer Aye! I plan on returning to LOTRO, will likely do a stream a week on it.
