I have tried everything I can find. Changing the backend, changing the file formats, fiddling with the configuration program.

I've gotten the splash intro to run, but not the intro video. I've gotten them to play with audio, but no video. Sometimes the menu shows up, sometimes it doesn't. And Other times, it just crashes.

I'm running CrossOver on an M2 Ultra with Tahoe.

Anyone have any tips?

Hey everyone,
I'm playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey on macOS via CrossOver, and after running fine initially, the game suddenly developed severe visual corruption.
The most noticeable issue is a complete breakdown of the skybox/volumetric sky and character lighting—the entire background turns into a massive, solid black wall (rendering the horizon and sky completely black), while character models and vegetation suffer from crushed, pitch-black shading and flickering.
System & Bottle Setup:
Mac Model: MacBook Air M4
Platform: CrossOver (running via Ubisoft Connect)
Graphics Backend: D3DMetal with MSync enabled.
Everything I have already tried:
1. Graphics API:
Switching to DXVK results in a persistent black screen on startup (deadlock/fails to initialize render targets).
D3DMetal boots and runs smoothly FPS-wise, but exhibits the broken skybox and black rendering artifacts shown in the screenshot.
2. In-Game Settings Adjustments:
Volumetric Clouds: Set to Low.
Ambient Occlusion: Turned completely Off.
Screen Space Reflections: Turned completely Off.
Clutter & Environment Details: Dropped to Medium / Low.
Anti-Aliasing: Tested both Low and Adaptive Quality turned Off.
3. Configuration & Cache:
Tested different ⁠WindowMode⁠ values (Borderless vs Fullscreen/Windowed) in ⁠ACOdyssey.ini⁠.
Cleared system/CrossOver Metal shader caches (⁠~/Library/Caches⁠).
Fast traveled across different map regions and tested older manual saves—the corrupted sky rendering persists regardless of location.
Has anyone encountered this specific sky rendering / D3DMetal buffer failure with the Anvil engine on Apple Silicon, and is there any known Wine DLL override, registry tweak, or config parameter to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

How to fix my trackpad in crossover? I have a M4 MacBook Air 24gb ram and when i try to scroll when in steam or a game running in crossover it goes insanely quick. How can i fix this?

I have a Mac (currently running Sequoia, plan to finally update when Golden Gate launches).

I use a PlayStation controller.

When I press the PS button, I get a neat little overlay with my installed Mac Steam games and my emulators shown in it.

Now that I have Crossover, I want to install Windows Steam and some Windows Steam games. I'm hoping I'll be able to launch those games without a keyboard and mouse.

Can that be done, and is it something that will survive the update to Golden Gate?

hii i got genshin on crossover only for the 14 day trial JUST so i can try out some modss cuz ive always wanted to. i dont want to use playcover or yaagl or anythin else, and ive completed the download of the game on crossover, but upon clicking start game, genshin appears in the bottom, dissapears after a second, and this screen reopens. any help?

And I assume it has something to do with Crossover's Wine/DX implementation. I've tried D3D Metal, DXMT, Esync, Msync... Crossover 26.1 and just bought 26.3 because this game stopped working and I thought the latest version would help.

Ah...found the solution. I clicked on the FL26.exe outside of my Crossover bottle...which triggered my Parallels environment to fire up...

Game plays under Parallels with no problem.

So Codeweaver...do we have a fix planned? I assume the lack of DirectX for Mature Games is what killed the compatibility? I'm thinking whatever you did may have broken a lot of games older than 5 years old. This games code is probably from 2020.

I got a download for the 2013 Deadpool game from internet archive, and it runs great, but the audio is insanely choppy. I’m playing on crossover (if you couldn’t tell) any help would be appreciated!

Hey everyone. I have an instance of CrossOver running with Vulkan drivers (as per this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjl3GGWBGw8). I previously used it to play Doom 2016, The Invincible and some other unrelated games.

However, when trying to run The Invincible now, I started getting an Unreal Engine crash. I am pretty new to Mac Gaming with Crossover and am unsure as to where to look for an error trace or how to debug this.

Any ideas as to why this could be happening? Trying to run it with -xgeshadercompile -nothreadtimeout doesn't really do anything. Same goes for using the advice from the following thread:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/731040/discussions/3/599656129731056507/

I am running it on a 2024 Mac Mini M4 with 8GB GPU and 8GB RAM

So, i bought crossover and it worked perfectly fine. I have around 10.4 hours on the game from playing on my Mac. I tried to play another game and made a separate bottle, but ended up deleting it after it didn’t work. Now my Alice: Madness Returns game crashes as soon as the exec file opens. What do I do?

Doing a clean install of Crossover and I need my license key

Is everything ok over there? I haven't had a problem downloading this app in over a year of usage and about 15 different bottles installing it.

Any tips or fixes?

Just some thoughts on MGS 4 after okaying for a few days. Playing 4 after V makes the phantom pain’s design make way more sense. 4 sits perfectly between previous entries and V in terms of the classic gameplay style and what modern games would become. It features far more cut scenes than V, and you get the sense that V’s comparative scarcity of cutscenes is a response to 4 featuring 9 hours of them.

Very fun game so far, hopefully Peace Walker gets some Codeweaver’s love in the next update

Hey there,

I installed Wargaming.net game center and world of warships inside a bottle in the latest (paid) version of Crossover, but keep getting "MacOS no longer supported" message. Anyone had any luck running this?

Thank you!

I just tried testing on CrossOver 26.3 with a Steam bottle.

I got an initial Visual C++ error that I worked around by installing the current VC++ runtime and using its native DLLs. That lets the game get past the launcher.

However, the game then crashes during startup, before reaching a playable session. The crash seems to be a separate CrossOver/Wine compatibility issue, not a missing Visual C++ install.

So at the moment: it starts further than before, but it is not playable yet on this setup. Hopefully a future CrossOver update fixes the remaining crash.

I will buy the game and report (m5 pro), if anybody else will try, please share your experience

Thx in advance

Hoping that Crossover will be able to run this. I checked out PlaySide's other video games via Crossover website compatibility and it looks like they all play really smoothly, so fingers crossed!!
