Here is some additional information on the Advanced Settings toggles available in CrossOver 23.7 and later.
- D3DMetal - D3DMetal is a graphics API translation layer from the game porting toolkit supporting DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games. When enabled, D3DMetal is used instead of DXVK or the wined3d default.
- DXVK - DXVK is a Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 10 and 11. When enabled, DXVK is used instead of the wined3d default. Some games run better with DXVK, while others run better with wined3d.
- ESync - Eventfd-based synchronization. Some applications run with better performance with ESync enabled, some applications show no difference, and some applications are broken by ESync.
- MSync - Mach semaphore-based synchronization. Some applications run with better performance with MSync enabled, some applications show no difference, and some applications are broken by MSync.
-
High-Resolution Mode - High-resolution mode switch. When enabled in CrossOver Mac, pixel doubling is turned off, and CrossOver reports a high-resolution (192 DPI) to the application. If the application handles this correctly, graphics display in more detail. Not all applications render correctly in high-resolution mode.
- Performance Enhanced Graphics (CSMT) are now enabled by default and the toggle is no longer shown in CrossOver 23.x and later.
