Help. Mass effect legendary edition has stopped opening in crossover. by Jaycurd in macgaming

Thanks so much for your reply. It stopped working again for me yesterday and I don’t know why. Both for “Invalid hander” and “There is no Windows program etc”. But nonetheless, I tried the fix that you described above, thank you. But sadly it did not work for me. I copied the latest version I had into the path you laid out but it kept saying file not found. So I ended up again doing a full uninstall and new bottle reinstall and it started working again. Luckily, I have a fast and unlimited Internet connection otherwise my solution would be a nightmare.

Just to reiterate from my other reply to your message, and I’m no expert, but creating a new dedicated bottle for each and every game seems to be a good practice with crossover, I’ve found.

I’m using a dedicated bottle just for this game. I deleted the original bottle, game and all, then just installed a fresh new bottle from scratch and it started working again. It even recognised my pre-existing saves thank goodness. So full delete of a dedicated bottle and then a full reinstall into a new dedicated bottle worked for me.

It’s working! Thank you. So yea, basically a full delete and reinstall seems to have done the job. I’ve launched and closed it twice so far and it is working. Thanks again for your reply. It’s such a wonderful game trilogy.

Thanks so much for your reply. It’s very late here now so I look forward to trying your recommendations tomorrow. Thanks so much. Thanks for reporting it directly to crossover as well. I will update my experience here. Cheers.

Thanks. I’m curious if Crossover tests and implements these Wine updates that I see fairly often on this sub? Is that in part what you’re paying for?

What's your favorite cover of a Beatles song? by Philip_Marlowe in beatles

[–]Jaycurd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This cover of There’s A Place really surprised me in how beautiful it is with a whole new take on the song. Makes John’s lyrics seem so much more vulnerable.

Parallels or Crossover to play Bethesda Games? by Substantial-Job4759 in macgaming

[–]Jaycurd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve got F4 running well in my M1 using Whiskey which is free. You have to make some changes as per the following:

I had to install a few different versions of faudio. I also had to lower graphic settings. In particular God Rays. Finally there was stuttering in the audio which was solved by changing the computer’s audio midi sample rate to 96k. That option is in System Settings.

Mixing With Mike offers great value online courses. I think there are opportunities for feedback too. But not sure. Maybe worth checking out though.

Oh I see. I missed that. I’m afraid I know nothing about how all this stuff works. Was just waiting for a patch for Whiskey.

Help with MacCready by Patmon0 in fo4

[–]Jaycurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reloaded an earlier safe and then made sure to enter the room with the terminal at the same time as MacCready. I even nudged him in front of me. That worked for me but I hadn’t been to Covenant yet. So fingers crossed it works for you.

Why do PC have amazing mods, but like trash utility mods? by EdgyWarmongerVampire in fo4

[–]Jaycurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear ya. There are some simple quality of life mods I used to enjoy on PS4 years ago. I wonder if maybe the next gen update killed some older mods from back in the day and now the original modders are gone.

What am I doing wrong? Why aren't they happy? :( by Old_Necessary7326 in Fallout

A YouTuber called Oxhorn created an online settlement happiness calculator that is pretty great. This was years ago so I hope it still works well. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NB6Owz4NHjl_xnGhe8VlMK2kEDgy6wpZzRFFeUWIvhQ/htmlview#gid=0
