Got it running under Proton 4.11-13
Had to run through all versions of Proton from the oldest up to this one to get it working properly. After that, and some performance tuning, it runs great now.
They need to understand, Postal was released in 1997, so it's not going to have the same Hi-Fi sound and fancy graphics that a modern game.
Can be a little Sensitive to control inputs, probably because this was originally released on DOS/Windows 9x
Runs great natively. Just a little fast with the mouse, and I had to switch back to the old Arrow Key Layout for walking as I prefer that.
If your'e used to low-end hardware and lower frame rates you might actually enjoy this one. It really depends on your standards and taste.
I had to downgrade the graphics somewhat. This game calls for a GPU, a late 2015 iMac has a integrated Intel chip. It does pretty well though once the graphics levels are lowered.
I honestly was not expecting to get it to run without some sort of video card, but surprisingly, it is doable. Just had to drop proton version to 9.0.4 and drop all video attributes down to about High->Medium-ish. Then it started running quite well.
