can any were mac a tutorial video please ??ß

 

Hi. I'm the OP. I enabled D3DMetal in the Advanced Settings in Crossover to get it working. If you don't enable D3DMetal, you get the behavior that you're experiencing.

 

Thank you for the response.
I do not have the D3DMetal option, probably because my 2019 MacBook is Intel.

Thanks

 

Ha , Thanks , Maybe ambassador ! Quick tip though, reason I don't have it now is because my bottle broke randomly ,so now might be a good time to right click on your bottle and do an export to archive backup.
Also to the original op, the graphics settings you suggest might only work on certain chipsets im on intel and it doesn't work. or it might be to do with graphics card manufacturer not sure.Peace.

 

Thank-you for this information am going to try and set this up on my m1 too!

 

That's correct, Intel Macs don't support this newer feature. But if other users are on Apple Silicon and you don't see the D3DMetal option, you need to upgrade to Sonoma (or higher whenever that happens).

 

What is D3DMetal in CrossOver?
D3DMetal - D3DMetal is a graphics API translation layer from the game porting toolkit supporting DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games.

Why would this matter? You are installing a newer MacOS so that it needs it to be backwards compatible? Maybe it is caused by the versions of Crossover you are using.

 

Msync is more important to sync apps tighter. On other systems it's called fsync or esync, I believe. It can greatly improve performance or it won't run at all. As always with those things, your mileage my vary as they say. This crossgridder stuff is really clunky and hackish compared to a plugin bridge like Yabridge.

 

To the last couple of responders; if you don't enable D3DMetal, you can't select any options in the Falcon interface, even though it loads properly in Crossover. Don't take it up with me, take it up with the Crossover team. I'm just here to tell you what you need to do to run Falcon this way.
