Games

Titles we have deliberately taken on, and what was measured on each. This is not an inventory of anyone's library — a game gets a row when there was a reason to work on it.

Tested on an M4 Max, macOS 27, CrossOver 26.2 patched with winevideo, GPTK 4.0b2.

Game Engine Symptom Fix winevideo Status
Mortal Shell 2 Unreal Engine 5.6.1 Crash on the first cutscene Runtime patch, 4 sites No 1 Fixed
Life is Strange: Reunion Unreal Engine 5 Freezes after a while, anywhere DXGI node guard No Fixed
Life is Strange: Double Exposure Unreal Engine 5 Freezes after a while, anywhere DXGI node guard, same DLL No Installed, not yet confirmed in play
DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS Koei Tecmo, in-house Cutscene runs with sound, picture black Video bridge, D3D11 to D3D12 Yes Fixed

1 Expected rather than measured: VP9 never reaches Media Foundation in that game, but it has not been run on a CrossOver without winevideo.

Every row is a title we deliberately took on, and every claim on the linked page comes from a measurement on an installed copy. Where something was established by reading the executable rather than by playing to the failure, the page says so.

Reading the winevideo column

It answers one question: does the game need CrossOver patched with winevideo for the fix to get it working?

  • Yes means the fix is not enough on its own. DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS decodes VP9 through Media Foundation, and without winevideo there is nothing to decode it with — no frame ever exists for the bridge to present.
  • No means the fault has nothing to do with video decoding. Both Life is Strange titles freeze inside DXGI; the cutscenes were never the problem.

winevideo is worth having regardless. The column is about what each fix depends on, not about whether to install it.

Adding a row

Run the survey on that game's folder, and if it misbehaves, the probe. Both are in diagnostics/ and both are described in Diagnosing a new game.

Paste what they print. Measurements are the point of these pages, and a row without one is worse than no row.
