Official beta announcement by Codeweavers:
I’m thrilled to announce the first beta for CrossOver 24!
CrossOver 24 includes an update to Wine 9.0, bringing with it over 7,000 changes that offer improvements to a variety of applications. Wine 9.0 was released last week, and we are pleased to be able to offer a CrossOver version that includes it so quickly. This release also includes an update to Wine Mono 8.1.0, vkd3d 1.10 and MoltenVK 1.2.5.
We are continuing to make improvements so that CrossOver is as user-friendly as possible. To that end, CrossOver 24 includes a few highly-requested UI updates. You can now drag and drop executables into CrossOver to either run or install them. We also added the ability to change the directory where your bottles are stored, which is especially helpful for users who want to store large Windows applications on an external drive.
For our Mac users, CrossOver 24 includes fixes for many games: Planet Zoo now runs again after the latest game update, the Warframe standalone launcher now works, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth no longer crashes, Mafia: Definitive Edition now runs, Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition multiplayer works again, and Horizon Zero Dawn and Anno 1800 now work well out of the box.
For our Linux users, we have a couple of nice improvements for Office. New Office 365 installers now work, and we fixed crashes with PowerPoint 2016/365. Please note that it’s still the case that only the 32-bit online Office installers work.

YEAH! Finally a setting for the bottle location (apart from messing with the app container). I never understood why that wasn’t in from the first version on.
And while I’m here: why is Hitman 2 & 3 not running? I LOVE this game and try to run it ever since I have crossover on my Mac. But no luck! What’s so special about this (rather old) game? Alot of other Win programs run flawless, but no Hitman … PLEASE look into it :).
Crossover is GREAT work!!
