Crossover Games for mac has no mouse in Dark Age of Camelot but on winehq.com is a patch (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=6307) that should fix this problem, would be nice if you could get this patch into Crossover Games

here's the patch:

Ya, it would be really cool!

The game is working perfectly for me, but unfortunately, there is no mouse, so, I'm waiting for the patch.
Maybe anyone from the staff can comment this?! Will you bring this patch into Crossover Games?

This is a very crude hack, and I am afraid that if we included it we would break many, many other applications. An option would be to enable it conditionally for this game only, but I hesitate to do this since this tends to make the code unmaintainable and cause more issues later.

Though those hacks are our proprietary advantage over Wine, so we might decide to include it. But I think it is better to investigate the issue and fix it properly. For starters I'll file a bug report to keep track of it.

Okay, thank you!

first of all thx for your responses

are there any updates to this?

if not can you post here if there are any changes?

thx

This would be where users should keep an eye out for updates:

Bug Report

Doesn't look like there is much movement on this, even on updating Crossover Games in general.

EDIT:
There is an unsupported build. I can update to it and see if it resolves the mouse issue, but I'm not sure as there were no patch notes about what was addressed.

it would be realy kind of you if you could try it but i gues they hadn´t done anything as there is no progress in the bugreport... but maybe some things changed and they just don´t now that it has influence on this game so a little chance is always there

How do you go about apply this patch to CrossOver?

There's a new patch at winehq maybe this one would work better

why is the bug report deleted?? or does that mean it´s fiexed ??

The bugreport is still there? Maybe you are not logged in, or Jeremy Newman accidentally broke customer read access to the bugtracker

i'm logged in and get this message

Access to bug 4099 is restricted!

so maybe you can tell if there's anything new about the bug or won't it be fixed?
