Wednesday October 17, 2018. 12:15 PM , from Power Page
CrossOver 18 has arrived, complete with full macOS 10.14 Mojave support as well as a number of fixes and improvements.
CodeWears announced that CrossOver 18, which can be used for running Windows applications on macOS desktops without using Windows itself, is now available and ready to go.
The CodeWeavers team has updated Wine, the core technology behind CrossOver that allows Windows software to run on macOS and Linux, bringing it up to version 3.14. According to the company, the change makes “thousands of improvements” in CrossOver 18 over previous versions, just from its inclusion.

Among the bug fixes included in CrossOver 18 is a solution to a big that caused Office context menus to disappear from view, while another resolved issue involved a corrupt file error in Office 2016 when installed via Internet Explorer. Bugs relating to the Battle.net client are also said to have been fixed.
While a number of macOS-centric fixes have been added, the bulk of the improvement in this release fall on the Linux version of the software.
As part of the Linux-specific changes, version 18 includes improved support for DirectX 11 using Wine3D, making Windows games using the API run more smoothly. The Linux release is also the first to be compatible with DXVK, a Vulkan-based Direct3D 10 and Direct3D 11 implementation that can be installed into new and existing bottles using a crosstie.
CodeWeavers advise Mac users with active licenses will be upgraded to CrossOver 18 the next time they launch the application.
CrossOver 18 for Mac retails for $39.95 for the single version license, with one-year and lifetime versions featuring support and upgrades also available for $59.95 and $499.95 respectively.
Version 18.0.0 requires an Intel-based Mac running macOS 10.11 El Capitan or later with at least 300 megabytes of free disk space and further capacity for Windows applications to install and run.
If you’ve have a chance to procure CrossOver 18 and try it out, please let us know what you make of it in the comments.
