There is definitely no need to install DirectX. By doing so you add a lot of
garbage to your WINE prefix ("bottle"). WINE (and CrossOver) already have
DirectX implementation.

Short answer - probably yes. Just install latest WINE and try. This is very
simple and doesn't conflict with your CrossOver installation.
In my personal experience WINE works better than CrossOver in most cases.
This is isn't surprise because CrossOver always based on outdated WINE
version with less features and less bug fixes. However, sometimes because of
regressions older WINE version may work better than latest one (a bug report
should be filed in such cases at http://bugs.winehq.org ).
