Crossover uses the most recent Wine version while Whisky is behind by couple versions but it is free, honestly half of my apps and games ran much more perfectly fine on whisky versus crossover lol. In theory, using crossover for wide range of applications support is ideal but Whisky seem to be doing much better in gaming side of things ...
CrossOver will gain support for DirectX 12 starting this year to enhance the experience of playing Windows games on macOS, CodeWeavers this week announced. CrossOver allows macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS users to run Windows apps as if they were native by translating Windows APIs into their Mac...
From Apple’s it seems like an interesting experiment. It could result in more Mac sales and generate more interest in Mac gaming, thereby improving the ROI for developers considering building a native port. Or it could just mean that developers point to Crossover when gamers request a Mac version of their game.
The AS Chips have so much potential. The games that do run mostly run well. I also got Kingdom Hearts 3 to run in Parallels, have not yet tried it in Crossover. KH 1.5 + 2.5 crashes every time with CXPatcher and Crossover, and Parallels. I can't launch NBA 2k24 with Crossover nor Parallels.
I don't know about Doom 2016 or Doom Eternal, but Doom (all the older versions) work fine running on a Mac with the "GZDoom" engine. GZDoom is 64 bit and runs at normal speeds in Big Sur. Which means that it will also run on a M1 via Rosetta 2. You don't need CrossOver.
According to Crossover's compatibility database BL3 have some problems in the latest version 24 but works well in 23.7.1. If you buy Crossover you can download older versions and even have different versions on your drive. Crossover also uses Apple Game Porting Toolkit which makes many more games compatible.
CrossOver Mac I used a free trial of CrossOver to determine if it was something I wanted to purchase. I used it to run several Windows native applications. It ran dbPowerAmp Media Converter, albeit not particularly quickly. I'd recommend going the Parallels route, as I don't recall CrossOver having support for a huge number of applications.
It turns out that I actually will need to play some games in Crossover despite having the Mac port so part of the problem is solved. Old OpenGL games seem to have much better performance in Crossover than when playing the Mac port. I tested Sleeping Dogs and depending on the settings the frame rate can be more than 2x higher in Crossover.
Hello, I have a Unibody Macbook and was wondering which one would be a better choice to do occasional gaming. Please do not suggest using Bootcamp since I have tried it before and didn't like the whole restart the computer after done playing the game. I heard crossover is great for gaming...
So CrossOver typically gives notably better performance than most emulation solutions, because we're only running one OS: OS X. Yes, it will be a smidgy slower than native Windows running on a Windows box (or running single-boot under BootCamp).
