CXPatcher is an unofficial macOS application that patches CrossOver to upgrade its dependencies (DXVK, D3DMetal/GPTK, MoltenVK, DXMT) for improved Windows game compatibility on Apple Silicon Macs. It is being replaced by the author's Procyon project and does not remove the need for a CrossOver license.

Use cases

  • run Windows games on Mac with better compatibility
  • upgrade CrossOver DXVK and D3DMetal versions
  • fix Unreal Engine 4 games in CrossOver
  • enable DX12 games via GPTK on macOS
  • patch CrossOver with latest MoltenVK
  • install DXMT builds in CrossOver

When to choose

  • you use CrossOver on macOS Ventura or newer and want newer DXVK/GPTK/MoltenVK than CodeWeavers ships
  • you play Unreal Engine 4 or DX12 games that fail with stock CrossOver
  • you want to try unreleased DXMT builds

When to avoid

  • you need official CodeWeavers support or a warranty that CrossOver keeps working
  • your games use anti-cheat or anti-tamper
  • you don't own a CrossOver license
  • you're on macOS older than Ventura (or pre-Sonoma for GPTK)
