Workarounds on M2 MBP

-Add direct links to the Homeworld, Homeworld 2, and Homeworld Cataclysm executables within CrossOver
-Set the resolution to the native resolution for your machine (1080p 1920x1080 for me)

Hi Shell,

You might be better off adding this as a tip, if you haven't already. More for exposure than anything, some people may not check the forum.

I'm typically not dense when it comes to tech stuff but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to add a Tip, lol

Hi,

So I've a Mac Mini Pro and am getting an 'OpenGL failed to load' error, trying to run either Homeworld 1 or 2 from the Remastered 'splashscreen', that pops up for running the App from within the Steam Bottle. So, two questions:

1) Where would I find the game .exe files within the C: inside the bottle, to create direct links to?

2) Obviously my M2 Mac Mini doesn't have a 'native resolution' - but it's hooked up to a 49 inch Philips ultrawide monitor. Thats 'crazy width' that I doubt Homeworld Remastered will anticipate (althought despite being 32 bit Deserts of Karak runs natievly from Steam, in MacOS), so any sugestions for a resolution I can try and force that might be more reasonable? -1080p?

Thanks in advance. I'm new to Crossover/Wine, so just trying to get these games to run. I also have a Win 11 Parallels VM, but want to avoid the overhead of that VM. Crossover seems to be a bit different in how it works, but I have no idea about the relative robstness and likeihood of 'working', trying to get this running, using either approach. I can't see that there is much advice from CodeWeavers, eg in relation to the OpenGL error code...
