Mac Crossover help

fudog · 11-08-12, 07:00 PM

I've just had success with GWX using CXEx Wrapper: http://portingteam.com/topic/5820-guide-cxex-central/

CXEx is a flavour of Wine (similar to CrossOver that the OP is using, only its free ;-) )

Managed to get out of port without crashing, and navigate to patrol grid. granted I did it from the nav screen, rather than viewing from the bridge, that may have helped. I'll continue testing and see how stable it is. But it is a positive result so far.

Thank you Sir. I love SHIII On a 27". Keep me posted.

Ive started a career a few times with GWX and it seems ok. Tried adding OLC mod on top but that crashed when viewing from the bridge whether at sea or in port.

So far I have GWX with the resolution mod to get full screen, Im running at 1600 x 1200 ok.

- I'm pretty happy with that, i'll give it some extensive play this weekend.

hey cheers

Ive slightly altered my resolution settings, I had it set to full screen. But now I've put back into a window as there was some mouse issues.

SHIII loads and plays great so far. It is even faster then a PC. My problem is finding it on my Mac so I can direct the GWX download to load into the right directory.
