Download Crossover Preview > Create new bottle, Windows 10 64-bit Download Standalone DCS World Download The-Kitchen-Sink dependencies: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/the-kitchen-sink Override winhttp.dll (native, builtin), wbemprox.dll (native) & msdmo.dll (native) Install d3dcompiler_47(32-bit) and d3dcompiler_47(64-bit) install corefonts Enable D3dmetal and E-sync and restart bottle. Run DCS Installer Place options.lua file in the CONFIG_DIR to skip the broken launcher: https://github.com/deleterium/dcs_on_linux?tab=readme-ov-file. If the CONFIG_DIR does not exist, create the directory. i.e. "drive_c/users/$USERNAME/Saved Games/DCS/Config/options.lua" Next we need to override the input audio device load ( getVoiceChatDevices() ) .lua in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/DCS/drive_c/Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/MissionEditor/modules/Options/optionsDb.lua to always return an empty string as the mod_sound.getVoiceChatDevices(dev_type) now returns nil and causes an error to occur local function getVoiceChatDevices(dev_type)
--local devices = mod_sound.getVoiceChatDevices(dev_type)
local result = {Name(_('Default')):Value("")}
if devices then
for k,v in ipairs(devices) do
table.insert(result,Name(v[2]):Value(v[1]))
end
end
return result end Please Note: If you repair the game, this file will revert to it's broken state and you'll need to fix it again. DCS should now open successfully. Instructions for installing Steam DCS Download Crossover Preview > Install Steam Application into new Windows 10, 64-bit bottle Run Steam and install DCS World from Steam Once installed, close Steam and override winhttp.dll (native, builtin), wbemprox.dll (native) & msdmo.dll (native) in Wine Configuration.

| Parallels | Boots. Main menu is fine. However, actual gameplay is riddled with graphical issues. AWACS View (F10) works just fine. FPS surges up and down, causing extremely unstable performance. |
