Fix for Grim Dawn crashes on Launch

Grim Dawn does not play nice w/ CX, it will crash upon loading the game. Even installing and enabling DXVK it still crashes. The game can be forced to DX9 mode and it works well with CX that way. Here's a list of steps to get the game working:

  1. Download and install Grim Dawn via CrossOver (obviously)
  2. Open CrossOver, locate the Grim Dawn icon and right click, choose Run With Options
  3. In the Command line, click the Browse button on the right. Navigate to the directory where you installed Grim Dawn (default is C:/GOG Games/Grim Dawn
  4. Locate GrimDawn.exe and click Open
  5. In the Command line at the very end (after quotes) type /d3d9
  6. Click the Create Launcher button
  7. Make sure the /d3d9 is present at the end of the Command line, then click OK.
  8. Play the game
