First look at integrating Game Porting Toolkit and DirectX 12 support into CrossOver for Mac for the first time using the amazing CXPatcher. My hope is that people keep buying CrossOver whilst also taking advantages of the advancements of DirectX 12 support from Apple's Game Porting Toolkit, and get the best Windows gaming experience on the Mac! Big thanks to iiiman (italomandara) and Gcenx for developing CXPatcher and helping with the details of this video.
