Hi folks,

I’m thrilled to announce that we have released CrossOver 23 for macOS, Linux and ChromeOS!

CrossOver 23 includes an update to Wine 8.0.1, bringing with it over 5,000 changes that offer improvements to a variety of applications. This release also includes an update to Wine Mono 7.4.0, vkd3d 1.8, DXVK 1.10.3 and MoltenVK 1.2.3.

Our most exciting feature is initial DirectX 12 support on macOS. Diablo II Resurrected and Diablo IV are currently running well on macOS Ventura, making them the first DirectX 12 games working on a released macOS version. This breakthrough was the culmination of years of development, and we look forward to continuing to aggressively pursue support for even more DirectX 12 titles. Diablo IV is also newly working on Linux with the CrossOver 23 release.

We’re pleased to announce that this release also includes initial support for geometry shaders and transform feedback on macOS Ventura. This unlocks many games that previously suffered from missing graphics or black screens in-game. Risk of Rain 2, TEKKEN 7, Octopath Traveler, Street Fighter V, Astroneer, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries and Trailmakers are just some of the titles that are now running on CrossOver 23. Note that using wined3d instead of DXVK will produce the best results for games using geometry shaders. And speaking of wined3d, our team also noted some nice performance improvements with wined3d.

EA App is now running on both macOS and Linux with CrossOver 23. Many EA App games are now working, including The Sims 4, Titanfall 2 and Mass Effect Legendary Edition. If you are running EA App games through Steam, make sure to install “EA App for Steam” into your bottle: that CrossTie installs needed dependencies.

For our Linux users, we worked around an XWayland bug, and Office 365 applications are now running with better performance with Wayland under CrossOver 23.

One of the most requested features we get for the CrossOver GUI is the ability to uninstall applications, and that is now possible with CrossOver 23. Uninstalling is now a quick operation: simply go to the “Bottle Details” at the bottom of the right sidebar for your bottle and right-click on the application listed under “Installed Software” to find the uninstall option. CrossOver also now deletes launchers for uninstalled applications. For example, launchers for games uninstalled through Steam will now be removed for you.

Of course, this release also contains some important bug fixes, including fixes for the latest Quicken, Steam, Rockstar Games Launcher, Age of Empires II Definitive Edition and Ubisoft Connect updates that caused those applications to stop working with CrossOver.

Lastly, a note about macOS Sonoma. Currently, CrossOver 23 runs on the Sonoma beta, but there are definitely known issues. We are working on fixes, and we plan to release an update to CrossOver 23 that will be fully compatible with it.

Customers with active support entitlements will be prompted soon to upgrade to CrossOver 23. Alternatively, they can download the latest version from https://www.codeweavers.com/account/downloads

If CrossOver asks for registration, use your codeweavers.com email address & password to register and unlock CrossOver. Email info@codeweavers.com if you need more help.

Thank you so much for your support! We hope you enjoy CrossOver 23!

Best,
Meredith

Announcing CrossOver 23.5.0

Meredith Johnson 315 Staff

Hi folks,

I’m thrilled to announce that we have released CrossOver 23.5 for macOS, Linux and ChromeOS!

This release offers an alternate way to run DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games through CrossOver, using components from the Apple game porting toolkit. It can be enabled by toggling on “D3DMetal” in the right bottle sidebar.

We are happy to report that this new D3DMetal option improves quality, compatibility, and performance for many games on Macs with the M1 chip or later, including Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon, Mortal Kombat 1, Deep Rock Galactic, Satisfactory, Monster Hunter Rise, God of War and Batman Arkham Knight. Note that Elden Ring and Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon default to launching with Easy Anti-Cheat disabled.

The excitement does not stop there! We are also happy to report that Baldur’s Gate 3 is working out of the box, and we recommend enabling D3DMetal or DXVK for the best experience. Denuvo games are now playable, and this release also includes support for GStreamer for multimedia decoding.

CrossOver 23.5 is the first CrossOver release with support for macOS Sonoma with optimizations from thorough compatibility testing.

CrossOver 23.5 also boasts better compatibility for a variety of distros, including Debian 13, openSUSE Leap 15.1 and the upcoming Ubuntu 23.10 release.

Lastly CrossOver 23.5 includes a handful of fixes, including special characters not rendering in certain apps and components not loading with MetaTrader 4.

Customers with active support entitlements will be prompted soon to upgrade to CrossOver 23.5. Alternatively, they can download the latest version from https://www.codeweavers.com/account/downloads

If CrossOver asks for registration, use your codeweavers.com email address & password to register and unlock CrossOver. Email info@codeweavers.com if you need more help.

Thank you so much for your support! We hope you enjoy CrossOver 23.5!

Best,
Meredith

macOS Sonoma is required for D3DMetal option and Denuvo games.

Announcing CrossOver 23.6.0

Meredith Johnson

Hi folks,

I’m thrilled to announce that we have released CrossOver 23.6 for macOS, Linux and ChromeOS!

CrossOver 23.6 includes support for running Counter-Strike 2 and Warframe through Steam on macOS. No tinkering required: all you need to do is search for the name of the game within CrossOver and click Install. For Warframe, we recommend macOS Sonoma running on a Silicon machine for the best experience.

This release also includes a couple of important fixes: printing now works on macOS Sonoma, and Quicken no longer crashes after the latest update.

Customers with active support entitlements will be prompted soon to upgrade to CrossOver 23.6. Alternatively, they can download the latest version from https://www.codeweavers.com/account/downloads

If CrossOver asks for registration, use your codeweavers.com email address & password to register and unlock CrossOver. Email info@codeweavers.com if you need more help.

Thank you so much for your support! We hope you enjoy CrossOver 23.6!

Best,

Announcing CrossOver 23.7.0

Hi folks,

I’m thrilled to announce that we have released CrossOver 23.7!

This release is full of improvements to enhance your Mac gaming experience. We added nice performance boosts to MoltenVK, which will help games running with wined3d or DXVK. Our team found that Diablo IV and Dark Souls III both run better with these changes. We also now ship with MSync which offers additional performance advantages. MSync can be toggled on in the right sidebar.

CrossOver 23.7 also includes several game-specific fixes. Fallout 4 and the Steam version of Diablo IV are both now playable. Counter-Strike 2 is now fully playable with great performance with D3DMetal enabled. We also improved the Apple login experience with Marvel Snap.

Lastly, applications launched through CrossOver now work when Stage Manager is enabled.

Customers with active support entitlements will be prompted soon to upgrade to CrossOver 23.7. Alternatively, they can download the latest version from https://www.codeweavers.com/account/downloads
