Banished Tips

Disable DirectX 11 to run game

Crossover can't process DX11 graphics yet. If you disable the DX11 DLLs the game reverts to DX9 and will run. 

Open Crossover, Configure menu, Manage Bottles, pick the Steam bottle containing Banished, Open C: Drive button.

Navigate to

Program Files>Steam>steamapps>common>Banished


And rename the files

VideoDX11-steam-x32.dll 
VideoDX11-steam-x64.dll


to

VideoDX11-steam-x32.dll.bak 
VideoDX11-steam-x64.dll.bak

For the DRM free version distributed by either Shining Rock Software or a 3rd party such as GOG.com, locate your Banished installation directly (for GOG it'd C:/GOG Games/Banished) and rename the following file:
VideoDX11-x32.dll

to
VideoDX11-x32.dll.bak


The game will then run in DirectX 9 mode without issue.
