CrossOver 10.1.1 and CrossOver Games 10.1.2 released

CodeWeavers has released a maintenance update for CrossOver and CrossOver Games, the change logs with some of the many changes made in the releases are provided below.

Change Log For CrossOver Games

10.1.2 CrossOver Games
  • Added a workaround for a bug in OS X 10.7 Lion. Many games running in a virtual desktop cause a crash. This can be resolved by setting the CX_LEAK_XPLUGIN_SURFACES environment variable.
  • Work around a bug in OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. 10.6.8 generated corrupt icon files which caused occasional Finder crashes. Now we use a different API to generate icon files which bypasses the issue.
  • Changed behavior of group permissions on certain files. Resolves an issue with .docx files on certain file systems.

Wineskin Winery 1.2 Released

Just a couple of small updates, but getting in gear for a Wineskin 2.5 update and WS8 engines soon, so thought I'd get the Winery bugs fixed and pushed out.
  • Downloaded Engines, and Engines you ignore will never prompt as new again
  • If your downloaded engine is corrupted, Wineskin Winery will prompt you instead of trying to build and making a broken wrapper.
Have fun!
