Installation failed on CrossOver Games 7.0.0

The subject pretty much says it all. The installation froze and couldn't be completed without forcing it to complete and when the .app is run, it freezes too with no CPU activity.

Okay, got it working with:

The Digital Rights Management (DRM) software in this program
prevents it from running in CrossOver. If you are in a legal jurisdiction
which allows removal of such software, you may have luck running this
program. Unfortunately, CodeWeavers, because they are subject to the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act, will be unable to support you.

Also if you pass something like -r1440x900x32 -CustomResolution:enabled to the command line, you can get wide-screen support too (for this case for a 15" MBP).

Anyone has any hints or tips on getting this game to work using the hardware renderer?

I managed to force use of the DirectX 7 renderer (by following the instructions in the Tips & Tricks section), but its buggy as heck. The screen flickers constantly and the ground surfaces don't seem to be drawn at all.

CodeWeavers, please make this game work!

Apologies for the edit.
