Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines on Steam

Hi there!

I'm running on a MacBook Pro M3 Max and I am encountering an error when trying to play Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines on Steam with a DirextX5 error. I've seen some YouTube videos for PC solutions but not sure how to solve this through CrossOver.

Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

Hi Omar,

Many older games default to running fullscreen with a low resolution that is no longer supported by newer macOS displays. We are working on display mode virtualization to get around this issue, but today there are only two workarounds: either see if you can launch the game in windowed mode instead or use an external monitor.

Best,
Meredith

Thanks for the follow-up! I'm actually hooked up to an external monitor but am mirroring my screen. Perhaps I'll try to extend or find a workaround. Appreciate the reply.

Hey Meredith!

I was wondering if there was any update to older games like Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines?

Cheers!
