DirectX 10 Coming To Linux and Mac

Jeremy White posted the 2009 roadmap for Crossover, and wrote, 'We've just shipped a lot of those "under the hood" improvements for games out in CrossOver Games 7.2. We're really pushing Direct X 9 support pretty far along, and getting ready to move on Direct X 10. ... In addition to our normal work of broadening and deepening our application support in Wine, we're going to try to dramatically improve the CrossOver GUI itself. First, the Linux version will get a fresh new look. But both versions are going to get an interface that we hope will bring the power of the Compatibility Center right into the installation view. The key idea is to make it easier to distill the gathered wisdom on unsupported applications and make it far easier to use.'"

I tried Crossover games for Mac with little success, I only managed to get Half Life 1 working (if you can call it worked, I couldn't dare pause the game or drop back into the menu otherwise it would crash) and I tried about 5-10 over games all with no luck at all. even though some of them were listed as working near perfectly.

I don't know if this was just my experience, but from trying the trail I had no intention of buying the product. it just showed me if I want to play Windows games i'd need to install windows on my system. simple :)

Same here i´ve been trying to get Counter strike source to work ..well it barely work ..look terrible . and now they are talking about DX10 this sh!t make me laugh.

Handsome_Devil6272d ago

I hope its all true, and would work perfectly

cuz I have no plans at all to go back to windows, I'm using linux and planning to get me iMac soon.

Then forget commercial games. They simply don't run on other platforms than windows, ATM. Sad, but true.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
