Crossover 23.5 and D3DMetal: For Apple CPU Macs only?

Congratulations on Crossover 23.5! I've only begun testing but so far I've noted no regressions compared to Crossover 23.0.1 and the new capabilities sound exciting.

I was hoping to test the new D3DMetal option but the toggle is greyed out for all my bottles. Is it a feature for Apple CPU Macs only? A limitation of my video card?

I am doing my testing on a 2019 21.5" iMac with a 3.6GHz i3, Radeon Pro 555X, booting MacOS Sonoma 14.0.

I have the same question for my 2017 iMac running Monterey 12.6.7.

The release notes for Crossover 23.5 state that D3DMetal requires MacOS Sonoma.

Hi all,

Silicon hardware is required; that's what we meant by "M1 chip or later" :)

Best,

I didn't see that part, Meredith. Thanks!

edit: No, wait, I did see it. I interpreted that line as it improved compatibility for Apple CPU Macs, not that an Apple CPU was required to enable the framework. Well, OK, now I know. You might want to edit that line for clarity.

Ok, well that's a double block for me. iMac 2017 not supported by Sonoma.
