CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Any time I fire up any sort of Crossover program I get a lot of flashing / flickering screen artifacts. I am using OpenSuse 12.1 and I am experiencing the issue on two different computers with two totally different graphics cards. One has an ATI Radeon HD 3450 and the other an NVIDIA Quadro FX550 a Has anyone ever seen this issue before? And if so, any known fix? I just bought the crossover software about a week ago. Thanks in advance for any help. Also wondering if I should open a ticket on this item.

A support ticket may well be the way to go.

I am having same problem.
Let say, if I open MS Word, it flickers one time, then shows MS Word initialization dialog, and opens the word window.
If I save, it flickers also. When it autosaves, it flickers, too. When I close the document, it flickers, too.

I have used msoffice 2003, and 2007 here, Ubuntu 12.04, with intel-crappy-gpu hardware, and no such issues.
Try Ubuntu?

Unfortunately this is not enough to go on to troubleshoot the problem. Your best bet is to open a support ticket or send an email to info@codeweavers.com. In that please include which distro you are running, your GPU. The driver being used with your GPU, the version of CrossOver you are using, the version of Word you are using and the output from terminal of:
/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxdiag --debug
or
~/cxoffice/bin/cxdiag --debug
