Black Textures with Crossover[1]

To fix this issue you have to replace libMoltenVK.dylib located in /Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/lib64 with this one: https://github.com/nastys/MoltenVK/releases/tag/ue4-workaround-3

This patch is a Proof of Concept fix for UE4 games. Please keep in mind that it might not fix all the texture issues.

Step by step guide:

0. Make sure Crossover is not running

1. Download libMoltenVK.dylib from https://github.com/nastys/MoltenVK/releases/tag/ue4-workaround-3

2. Copy the downloaded file

3. Navigate to Applications

4. Find Crossover, right click on it and click on Show Package Contents

5. Navigate to Contents -> Shared Support -> Crossover -> lib64

6. Paste the downloaded file here and replace the original one.

7. Start Crossover

8. In the bottle where you have installed Life Is Strange: True Colors make sure you have both Performance Enhanced Graphics and DXVK Backend for D3D11 on.

Voila, Life Is Strange: True Colors should be running fine!
