If you need better frame rates on Linux or Mac so you can frag your buddies: check out CrossOver Games.
This means that the newest games run faster and better under CrossOver Games than under other versions of CrossOver, or other version of free Wine, for that matter. CrossOver Games aims to bring you the latest, greatest, bleeding edge improvements in Wine technology. Note: Version 19.0.1 has been flagged as malware (report can be found here), so we have left version 18.5.0 which is clean.ĬrossOver Games is built on the latest versions of Wine, based on contributions from both CodeWeavers and the open-source Wine community, and then lovingly hand-crafted by Stefan Dösinger and Henri Verbeet, our very own Wine/Games connoisseurs. No rebooting, no switching to a virtual machine, and no Windows Operating System license required. Just click and run! It's like running Windows on your Mac or Linux machine, but without Windows. Once installed, your game integrates seamlessly with your Desktop.
CrossOver comes with an easy to use, single click interface, which makes installing your games simple and fast. With CrossOver Games, you can run many popular Windows games on your Intel OS X Mac or Linux PC.
