CrossOver Games 10.0

Now gamers can play the games they want, on whatever platform they want! With CrossOver Games, you can run many popular Windows games on your Intel OS X Mac or Linux PC. Whatever your tastes — first-person shooters, fantasy, strategy, MMORPGs — CrossOver Games lets you run many popular game titles. CrossOver comes with an easy to use, single click interface, which makes installing your games simple and fast. Once installed, your game integrates seamlessly with your Desktop. Just click and run! Best of all, you do it all easily and affordably, without needing a Microsoft operating system license.

CrossOver Games is built on the latest versions of Wine, based on contributions from both CodeWeavers and the open-source Wine community, and then lovingly hand-crafted by Stefan Dösinger, our very own Wine/Games connoisseur. Unlike other CrossOver products, which are aimed primarily at office productivity applications (and hence maximum stability), CrossOver Games aims to bring you the latest, greatest, bleeding edge improvements in Wine technology. This means that the newest games run faster and better under CrossOver Games than under other versions of CrossOver, or other version of free Wine, for that matter. You want to run your Mom's knitting software? Maybe you should look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you need better framerates on Linux or Mac so you can frag your buddies: check out CrossOver Games!

Version 10.0:
* Platform support:
o CrossOver Mac and CrossOver Games Mac no longer run on OS X 10.4 Tiger.
o The Mac product now uses modern (Leopard-era) GUI tools, which should improve the look and feel of quite a few things.
o The Linux shell installer now uses a more modern GTK-based installation tool, MojoSetup. This should resolve many installation issues present in the old installer, and also changes the look and feel considerably.
o Added localizations: German, Czech, Chinese (PRC), Brazilian Portuguese.
* CrossTie integration:
o .c4p files are renamed to .tie files (aka 'CrossTies').

o Secure signing of .tie files is now supported.
o Active rejection of malicious .tie files is now supported.
o Many differences between the web-based .tie files and the .tie files that ship with CrossOver have been resolved.

o The behavior of the installer assistant should generally be smoother, smarter, and more straightforward.
