yup, I’ve got this working fine now in full screen. the windowed mode settings helped and seem key.
Hi craab, sorry to drag up an old thread but I’m battling with this scenario at the moment using Crossover with El Capitan attempting to run BMS4.33U1 and getting exactly the same results as you reported here and in your other thread. In short, the launch menu loads but when I click launch the window goes to a black screen and I get the same error messages. I installed clean after installing stock Falcon 4.0 (which runs ok). I’ve tried the following without effect:
- Turned off all graphics enhancements in BMS config (shaders, high-def tiles etc).
- Turned off triple buffering
- Attempted to run in X11 window (not Mac native drivers)
- Attempted to run in virtual window with resolutions set to 800x600, 1024x768, 1920x1080
- Defined my GPU card vendor and device IDs plus VRAM in Windows registry (log reported these were invalid and overode them but think this is normal on Crossover)
- Attempted to use “-nomovie” and “-window” flags when launching BMS.exe
- Attempted to install the “.pak” file another user recommended to you.
I wonder if you could provide a little more detail as to how you got things running or would be prepared to package up a Wineskin wrapper for your config so I can try that out. Ideally I’d like to get it running in Crossover as its simpler but there may be some small but important difference between the distros that’s stopping it from working. I don’t have the GPU detection options in Crossover that Wine provides so perhaps that’s it.
Hope you’re able to help and still going strong on your Mac build!
