A patcher to upgrade Crossover dependencies and improve compatibility
This is an unofficial patcher for Crossover and codeweavers is not - by any means - involved in this or has anything to do with this app, and although has been tested, this software may render the app unusable or unstable, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, this also will void any official support from Codeweavers, If you still need support from codeweavers, download the original unmodified app and please don't report problems to them after your app is patched.
if you have any issues after your app has been patched you can download a new copy of Crossover.

This patcher will upgrade your crossover app with the latest dxvk and moltenvk patched for improved compatibility, and dramatically extends compatibility with Unreal engine 4 games.
- Games with anti-cheat or anti-tamper will not work
- Dx12 games will not work unless playable via the popular -dx11 option
You need to have an unmodified version of Crossover, you can download it at: https://www.codeweavers.com/account/downloads, please make sure the app has been registered or ran at least once, to make sure the latest dxvk is activated properly You may need to switch off dxvk and on again, if you don't you will need to re-download it. If the patcher renders the app unusable you can either use the restore function (see instructions below) or download it again from the website, it doesn't do any permanent modifications to your 'bottles'.
Maybe you changed your mind and prefer to use your original crossover app.
You can restore by going to the file -> restore menu
From V0.2.12 I'm dropping support for Crossover 21, it lacks the base work for the hacked ntdll and dxvk.
If you patched from an old version and you just want to update the patched crossover app just turn on the option and drag 'n drop
If your env vars doesn't work anymore or can't enable/disable fast math: use the env variable CXPATCHER_SKIP_NTDLLHACKS=1 and then any env var should work as usual
For other issues:
try: NAS_DISABLE_UE4_HACK=1
You can change the way the colors are processed in ue4 games.
examples:
disable color profiles
(old greyish colors but may improve performance or fix dark or oversaturated colors)
NAS_TONEMAP_C=0
Example: Color profile for Stray
NAS_TONEMAP_C=clamp({inputColor} * float3x3( 0.2126 + 0.7874 * 1.5, 0.7152 - 0.7152 * 1.5, 0.0722 - 0.0722 * 1.5, 0.2126 - 0.2126 * 1.5, 0.7152 + 0.2848 * 1.5, 0.0722 - 0.0722 * 1.5, 0.2126 - 0.2126 * 1.5, 0.7152 - 0.7152 * 1.5, 0.0722 + 0.9278 * 1.5 ) * 2 - float3(0.28, 0.2, 0.16), 0.0, 1.0)
NAS_TONEMAP_C uses standard MSL shading language, as long as it's done in one line, you can use {inputColor} as a variable and modify the colors, or give any effect you like using matrix transforms, WARNING: do not copy paste any code from unknown sources, and do this only if you know what you're doing, otherwise, have fun!
Note: you may need to use CXPATCHER_SKIP_DXVK_ENV=1 to override built in settings for games that already have a profile NAS_TONEMAP_C, also only works for UE4 games.
