Download CrossOver 24.0.0

Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API. This makes it possible to run DOS and Windows programs on Linux and macOS, among others. A commercial version of Wine is also available with support, called CrossOver. CodeWeavers releases CrossOver for Linux, macOS and ChromeOS and says it also contributes a lot to the development of Wine yourself. Version 24.0.0 of CrossOver has been released and includes updating Wine to version 9.0, allowing applications to be dragged onto the interface to launch them, and adjusting the location where applications are installed. The complete release notes can be found below.

Announcing CrossOver 24.0.0

CrossOver 24 includes an update to Wine 9.0, bringing with it over 7,000 changes that offer improvements to a variety of applications. Wine 9.0 was released last month, and we are pleased to be able to offer a CrossOver version that includes it so quickly. This release also includes an update to Wine Mono 8.1.0, vkd3d 1.10 and MoltenVK 1.2.5.

We are continuing to make improvements so that CrossOver is as user-friendly as possible. To that end, CrossOver 24 includes a few highly-requested UI updates. You can now drag and drop executables into CrossOver to either run or install them. We also added the ability to change the directory where your bottles are stored, which is especially helpful for users who want to store large Windows applications on an external drive.

For our Mac users, CrossOver 24 includes fixes for many games: Planet Zoo now runs again after the latest game update, the Warframe standalone launcher now works, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth no longer crashes, Mafia: Definitive Edition now runs, Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition multiplayer works again, and Horizon Zero Dawn and Anno 1800 now work well out of the box.

For our Linux users, we have a couple of nice improvements for Office. New Office 365 installers now work, and we fixed crashes with PowerPoint 2016/365. Please note that it's still the case that only the 32-bit online Office installers work.
