macOS Cursor Issues

2024 Mac mini running Tahoe 26.3.1, M4 Chip, 16GB Ram

The accuracy of the cursor is so inconsistent that enjoyable gameplay is virtually impossible.  The cursor fails to highlight for the correct action (ex; selecting dirt to excavate).  It struggles with aligning to tiles for tasks like the early tutorial missions showing you how to place traps.  It struggles to update to the correct action when you switch buildings to construct, spells to cast, etc.

In order to do anything I have to constantly move my mouse around, rotate the camera, and hope that I trigger the correct edge of whatever tile it is I am trying to interact with.

I did find an older post advising to add "-force-d3d9" (minus the quotes) to the game's loading properties, but this does not have any meaningful impact.
