CodeWeavers CrossOver 22.1 for macOS Linux and ChromeOS has been released

Hi folks,

I’m thrilled to announce that CodeWeavers has released CrossOver 22.1 for macOS, Linux and ChromeOS!

 

CrossOver 22.1 offers support for 32-bit DirectX 10/11 games on macOS. Our QA team’s test results confirm that several games are newly playable, including Command and Conquer Remastered Collection, Total War ROME II - Emperor Edition, BioShock Infinite and Magicka 2.

This release includes several other improvements on the gaming front. We updated the SDL version to improve controller support on macOS. In particular, CrossOver now has rumble support, and the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller now works. Also for our Mac users, GTA Online is no longer crashing after a short period of playtime. We fixed an issue with Ubisoft Connect no longer running after a recent update. Additionally, we included over 400 updates to wined3d from upstream Wine and updated vkd3d to version 1.5.

For our Linux users, we fixed a crash with Adobe Acrobat Reader 11. We also fixed dependency issues for Fedora 37 and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

CrossOver 22.1 includes fixes for several regressions, including an issue where some macOS users were seeing blank windows for a variety of applications. Last but not least, we’re happy to report that this release has several translation updates, including Turkish, Hindi, Indonesian, Slovak, Romanian and Ukrainian.
