CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I've never posted on the Forums before, I usually try stick to the Compatibility Database but as there's no post for Black Ops yet, I thought I'd repot my findings here.

There's been huge hype about this game - the Demo was rated 'Garbage' by WineHq, and checking just a few hours after its release saw Silver being posted for the DVD version. I've had some issues with the lagginess of the Steam version, so tried to keep my testing for the DVD release.

As for how it runs on CrossOver Games, I installed DotNet 3.0, DirectX Modern and 2005&2008 Redists for Visual C++ (after reading users had to do this on WineHQ). I'm not sure if these are necessary, but there's no harm done.

The game worked amazingly to say I used my MacBook with only 256MB VRAM and a 2.16GHz Processor. Some users claimed no sound, but under Games 9.2 the sound worked for the menus, ingame videos and the actual in game play. I had the graphics turned down, but shadows and some blurring worked (I've not extensively tested it yet). When the database adds the app, I'll post up some screenshots :)

Thanks for the report. Sounds good. Just so you know, there now is an entry for Black Ops in the Compatibility Center. 😊

How do you get Black ops to play? cuz doesn't seem to work for me...

As above.
"I installed DotNet 3.0, DirectX Modern and 2005&2008 Redists for Visual C++ (after reading users had to do this on WineHQ)."
Into a bottle, before installation of those elements, you should use CrossOver's file manager to install Black Ops into the same wrapper, and after installing those elements, it should play. Bottles>Configuration
It should be in the top bar. If you can't find it, click help and type in Configuration
... At lsat, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
