CrossOver 23.5 has been released for macOS, Linux and Chrome OS.
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.
The 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.
CodeWeavers worked with Valve on Proton and Valve contributed the majority of the Wine (and, specifically wine-mono) updates that CodeWeavers is using. It’s why they’re credited as ValveCodeWeavers and CodeWeaversValve in various places in the sources and why the Proton repo lives in the ValveSoftware Git repo (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/proton/).
