CrossOver for Mac
Written by Arnan on June 20, 2008 – 9:05 pmCodeWeavers is at it bigtime with their CrossOver software. While it’s nothing new and has been around for years. Their recently released version 7.0.0 is supposed to be some milestone and huge… Let’s hope so.
I’m installing GuildWars now… And hope it works nicely. It’s supposed to have native support from CrossOver. It’s marked as officially supported anyway. We’ll see…
So far i have created a winxp “bottle” which means that any software i install will think it’s running in windows xp. Should be nice… And i have X11 running in the background which is kinda weird. It’s default setting for graphics is like 256 colors which makes grey look like blue 
Took some time before i figured that one out… But ok… It’s set to millions now, just like OSX.
[update]
It’s not so great after all. Sure Guild Wars installs fine, it loads fine it even downloads fine. But damn are the Directx9 shaders poor. Even dx8 doesn’t work like it should so that makes the game near un-playable. Guild Wars being the primary game i play lately it renders Crossover near useless. If i cannot eliminate windows because of one game i might as well reap the full benefits of windows and stick with all my games on the doomed os… So its bye bye CrossOver.
