I did try out CrossOver but is costs $$ and had the same results.
You could always just go with a linux dual boot...
It does work..but then your just running windows :-)
I have a mate who runs NF on his mac dual booting into Windows..
We tried Parallels or vmware for Mac has the same Video and crashing issues.
The major issue with the NF client is that believe it or not even though its over 13 years old it was never submitted to Microsoft for Windows certification or tuned correctly for the various windows versions...
Remember the issues when WinXp/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 came out and each time the stability of the game client to even load was only fixed by the community getting together to find a solution...Even if you paid $$$ for this game the SDE "support ticket" was no help.
I recall a discussion with Yuno and other fleet leader on the TNF Teamspeak where this was discussed.
