Hi Everyone, I did a search through this reddit, MacGaming, and a few other sims and gaming reddits and didn't find a solution - so I figured I'd ask here and see if anyone else is having the same issue! When The Sims Legacy was released a year+ ago, I bought it on Steam, and installed it, (successfully!) via Crossover. I used it a bunch, and it worked every time, until suddenly, roughly last fall, it stopped working. Now, when the game opens, it only displays a Gray Screen, and the background music plays as if the game is running "behind" something. I understand the funnel is rapidly getting smaller, Sims 1 Players -- Mac Users -- Silicon mac Users -- Crossover -- Steam but has anybody else experienced this? In the past, I've used a handmade WINE wrapper to get the game to work, but those appear to not be working either. Has anybody else experienced this? Thanks for reading all of this!

DRG:RC was released today. As a player of the original DRG, I expected it to work pretty well using the latest crossover preview. But it seems there are constant stuttering when you start the mission. Sometimes the stuttering will stop themselves but sometimes they simply won’t. Anyone having the same problem?

MacBook Pro M4pro - macOS 26.5 - CrossOver 26.1 - Helldivers 2 v. 6.2.4

During game, stutters regularly occur, with everything on the screen freezing for 2-5 seconds. Even low preset with DLSS balance, it doesn't matter what your settings in game and checkboxes on CrossOver start page.

I didn't experience the stable frame rate that was promised at the release of CrossOver 26. The experience immediately began with the inability to launch the game without replacing the mscf.dll file from Reddit in system32.

This requirement is what holding me back to play modern games.

Hey all,

Has anybody had any luck with installing this one? It is very poorly rated in the compatibility list, but I thought I’d try a Hail Mary.

Hi r/macgaming,

I’ve been working on a small macOS menu bar app called CrossFFB.

It enables Logitech G29 Force Feedback for supported 64-bit Windows games running through CrossOver/Wine.

I built it because the G29 can be detected and used on macOS, but Force Feedback is usually the missing part when playing Windows games through CrossOver/Wine.

The basic flow is:

Windows game → dinput8.dll proxy → CrossFFB bridge → Logitech G29

What the app does:

- runs a native macOS bridge for the Logitech G29

- installs a local dinput8.dll proxy next to the game executable

- lets you adjust Force Feedback gain

- lets you adjust steering range

- includes setup/onboarding inside the app

- keeps the proxy installation local to the selected game folder

What it does not do:

- it does not install a macOS driver

- it does not install a kernel extension

- it does not replace CrossOver/Wine system DLLs

- it does not modify drive_c/windows/system32

Current status:

- tested mainly with Euro Truck Simulator 2

- currently Logitech G29 only

- currently 64-bit Windows games only

- requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later

- requires CrossOver/Wine bottle override: dinput8 = native,builtin

The DMG is signed and notarized with Apple Developer ID. I also tested the install on another Mac.

Download:
https://github.com/teosemi/CrossFFB/releases/tag/v1.0.0

I’d really appreciate feedback from anyone with a G29 using CrossOver/Wine on macOS, especially:

- whether the setup flow is clear

- whether the game connects correctly

- whether Force Feedback works in your game

- which games work or do not work

- whether support for other Logitech wheels would be useful

This is an early release, so please treat it as a beta and keep backups of any game folder you patch.

I'm playing via steam, on a mac air m3. Whenever i adapt, the screen freezes, plays the audio for like 20 seconds, and crashes. This didn't happen the first time in the prologue, so im extra confused.

Trying to run Elden Ring on my M1 Pro 2021 with Crossover 26.0.0, game couldn't launch, so I followed a tutorial where they told me to rename some files, did exactly that (start_protected_game.exe and start_protected_game_original.exe), now it says missing game executable. I see everybody is able to run the game on their M4, I really hope this isn't a laptop version problem. I'd appreciate some help, thanks.

Laptop: Macbook pro M5
Crossover: 26.1.0
I presume this is because of incompatibility? Whenever I open the application, It says, "Program Error: the program re7.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close ~ This can be caused by a deficiency in Wine". And/or just opens WineDebugger sayin' "WineDbg attached to pid [numbers]" and then refuses to close.
I also saw in It's ratings that some folks gave it a two star, so they might've encountered the same thing.
Question is: Can this be solved on my end or did I just waste 20 bucks? give it to me straight, doc.

Hey, running Devil May Cry 5 through CrossOver 26 on an M4 MacBook Air.

The game itself runs great, but every time I open the shop or customization screen it crashes immediately. Tried a few things I found online (DLL overrides, mf.reg imports) but nothing worked. Seems to be related to the preview videos that play in the shop not being supported by Wine's media stack.

Anyone else hit this? Did you find a workaround or just live without using the shop?

I really don't want to pay $70 for a game on the App Store that I already own on Ubisoft Connect. I tried installing it, but it throws a 'DX12 not supported' error and closes immediately. Is there a workaround or a way to force it to run in DX11, or is this a lost cause where I just have to buy the native Mac version?

Hello, im a new user of the crossover and i just got a mac this year. I would like to know how do i play games that are installed from the internet? I have tried by myself and watching youtube videos but they are very confusing and i don’t really understand any of it, i dont understand any of the terms nor am i proficient with mac or crossover. Thank you.

sometimes it plays fine, today it locked up twice in 4 games. any ideas? is this broken for some reason? anyone else experiencing this?
