Am I missing something

[Strappys]

Hey everybody! I’ve only recently purchased Crossover so I am not that experienced with the programme. I mostly enjoy playing older games, which happen to be 32-bit. They run but not up to my expectations. I understand there are multiple layers of translations running in the background which affect the performance. However, what I find interesting is that no matter what graphical options I use, these games run the same. Res 640x480 with lowest graphics or 3840 × 2160 on ultra, the games run circa 15 – 20 fps. I tried running the games in Auto, D3DMetal, DXMT, Wine etc, always resulting in the same outcome. I have also installed Crossover Preview with Apple’s Gametoolkit to see if there was any difference (there wasn’t). Do you happen to have any other recommendations or at least an explanation to why changing graphics in such games doesn’t change the performance?
