Installed the game, no problems. There is no patch for the US version, so no patch applied. "Dealt with" the DRM. The game launches and the intro logos appear. The screen then goes to black and changes resolution; after the switch, screen is still dark, but the game's mouse pointer appears. After a few seconds, it is replaced with the OSX pointer and nothing happens; I force-quit Crossover Games.
I install latest DirectX. I install the DLL package mentioned in the Tips & Tricks. I register the DLLs. No change; game still fails.
OS X 10.6.2. Early 2009 Macbook Pro.
