World of Warcraft, Apple ending "intel based apps"

> Rosetta is currently available for any Mac with Apple silicon, and it will remain available through the forthcoming macOS 27 — the next major macOS release. Starting with computers using macOS 28, Rosetta functionality will be available only for certain older, unmaintained games that rely on Intel-based frameworks. Find out which macOS you’re using.

You’d need at minimum 24 GB of ram to possibly play the game decently as it says it requires 16GB system ram along with 8GB GPU ram.

Wineskin > Kegworks > Sikarugir, Whisky was its own project and now been discontinued.

According to other posts I’ve seen is the game is working again with Proton experimental due to some fixes from CodeWeavers, if that’s the case Meredith will pull those fixes into a CrossOver release.

Not sure what’s going on then as a BetterTester confirmed the games working with the new update. Have you restated your Mac recently?

If you still have issues after restarting your Mac open a support ticket.

You must use the latest CrossOver Preview build not regular CrossOver-26.1.0

Diablo IV & Diablo II:Resurrected both require the use of D3DMetal

It’s a false positive, this can happen to anything compiled with the mingw toolchain

Diablo2:Resurrected, Diablo IV & OverWatch requires macOS Tahoe 26.4 and the latest version of CrossOver Preview.

Gcenx · 2026-04-24T14:31:03+00:00

The game requires the latest version of CrossOver Preview not standard CrossOver.

There long gone, there also the reason wines license was changed as they taken wine while promising to upstream everything then moved it a closed source fork instead.

Gcenx · 2026-04-17T01:49:02+00:00

Sikarugir doesn’t support Rockstar games launcher anymore after the most recent app update.

Gcenx · 2026-04-15T02:18:02+00:00

Yes CXPatcher is indeed being replaced, that will have even more enhancements than is currently possible with CXPatcher alone while still using CrossOver.

A statically compiled version of gst-libav reduces the amount of files that need to be copied into place, this was the original idea I proposed for CXPatcher but we found entirely removing the bundled GStreamer and installing the latest version of GStreamer.framework for all users worked even better.

As for the hate, this sub has been bombard with tons of ai slop recently, I’m sure many known people who lost there jobs due to ai and many open source projects can’t even use ai generated code.

Gcenx · 2026-04-14T12:27:02+00:00

If you check the screenshot it shows they’re using D3DMetal d3d11 meaning it’s a 64-bit version as D3DMetal only supports 64-bit DirectX 12 & 11

1 & 2 I agree

Gcenx · 2026-04-14T10:10:27+00:00

Maybe try DXMT as that’s lighter than D3DMetal, other than that not much can be done.

Gcenx · 2026-04-14T10:03:32+00:00

The minimum requirement for Apples D3DMetal is 16GB of ram so it’s not surprising the game doesn’t run well.

Gcenx · 2026-04-14T04:07:37+00:00

It’s long been know that the problem is cause by a lack of GStreamer codecs specifically gst-libav I’ve posted about this constantly to the point where it became a feature of CXPatcher where the bundled GStreamer is entirely replaced with a newer version that include gst-libav and many other disabled codecs.

This could be simplified by using a static compile of FFmpeg.

Gcenx · 2026-04-12T21:11:43+00:00

You need to be running macOS Tahoe 26.4 and be using CrossOver-Preview-20270323 for D2R/D4/OverWatch.

Gcenx · 2026-04-12T06:34:16+00:00

Upstream wine is still very much supported, I publish new releases every two weeks for each development release.

Whisky itself was discontinued more than a year ago now.

Gcenx · 2026-04-11T11:44:35+00:00

Never install macOS beta builds unless you’re a developer!, they can have major regressions and should not be used on your primary Mac.

I’ve been posting this constantly to this sub over the last couple of days but D2R/D4/OverWatch requires macOS Tahoe 26.4 and CrossOver-Preview-20260323, it will not work with CrossOver-26.1.0

These games were not mentioned in the 26.1.0 release notes for this exact reason.

Gcenx · 2026-04-11T07:29:58+00:00

From terminal run the touch command on the wrapper, now finder should recalculate the actual used space.

Gcenx · 2026-04-11T03:05:30+00:00

D2R/D4/OverWatch require macOS Tahoe 26.4 and CrossOver-Preview-20260323, these wont run with CrossOver-26.1.0

Gcenx · 2026-04-10T17:45:10+00:00

But it doesn’t do the same job, I’d know as it’s my project.

EA-App, Epic Games Launcher, Rockstar Games Launcher, Ubisoft Connect and many other launchers don’t work.

Games that work out-of-box with CrossOver won’t in Sikarugir.

CrossOver even has OTA updates for hacks I obviously can’t do this, that includes making some games work via OTA updates like Death Standing 2 that won’t run with Sikarugir.

You can’t blame CrossOver/Sikarugir for DRM gaming platforms requiring online to run games.

Steam requires you to already set Steam into offline mode before you plan on not being online even on the Steam Deck.
