CrossOver Linux, an application based on Wine that allows users to install popular Windows applications and PC games on a Linux computer, is now at version 13.0.0.

CrossOver is making great strides for Linux, and the new version brings support for a large number of applications and games.

The development of this app goes hand in hand with Wine and, generally, the improvements are making their way into the software in a timely manner.

This time though, the developers of CrossOver have made some modifications on the software itself, making it faster and more efficient,

“CrossOver 13 has our new Performance Enhanced Graphics. Games will run faster, with higher frame rates! This is a major overhaul of the 3D graphics processing in CrossOver, and gives significant improvements in many, many popular games,” reads the official changelog.

Highlights of CrossOver Linux 13.0.0:

• The launcher for Borderlands 2 has been fixed and it's working again; • Both the Gem Store and mouse are now working with Guild Wars 2; • The mouse pointer in Terraria is now accurate when the window is resized or zoomed; • A rendering bugs with RIFT on NVIDIA hardware has been corrected; • Mirror's Edge now runs under CrossOver; • Architecture specifications have been removed from our package installer filenames and the file name no longer contains i386 arguments. • The Files saved with Microsoft Office are no longer marked as “executable.” Users can now open the files by clicking on them in Nautilus or other file browsers.
