CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Happy Holidays everyone!

Starting CrossOver takes 5-10min on my M3 Max MBP.
I have my games-library on en external Thunderbolt 4 SSD I guess this might be the issue but why and how do I optimise the startup?

Thanks in advance

bump..

Did you see at the top of the page where it says…

Sure did otherwise bumping the post would make no sense.

The obvious question: do your bottles on the internal SSD start in normal time?

Hey, thanks for asking and yes they do if I only choose internal storage.

I used this guide to change the location:

I would probably do a few things:

1. Install Stats (use brew!) and check the disk speeds on the external SSD.
2. Replace the SSD with another and see if the problems continue.

MacOS handles TB3/TB4 expansion SSDs pretty well; to me it sounds like you have a bad external drive.

Bumping the post makes no sense whether you saw it or not.

I got 3600MB write and 3800MB read that seams good enough to me.
