CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hey,

I've been searching on google and searching on this website, but I haven't found an answer yet.
I decided to buy and try some games that aren't on the supported list yet (such as The Longest Journey, Safecracker, ...) for Crossover Games.
And sadly, they don't work (well). Now I'm wondering if I can find the game files Steam uses to run those games somewhere on my Mac. I'd like to install the games now under Bootcamp and I have a 30gb/month download limit so I can't really download it all again.

So yeah, can i copy the games (or steam files) to a windows computer/partition?

Thanks in advance

AFAIK you can't copy directly from Mac to the Bootcamp Partition so you need an external HD or similar
AFAIK mac is unable to write NTFS. So you have to ensure that you copy on a FAT32-harddisk. Maybe you have an external HD with FAT32.

What you need to copy to your Windows Partition is the Steam folder. Open Crossover /Configure /Manage Bottles /Advanced and here click on OPEn C: Drive in folder. This way you can open your Crossover Windwos File Directory. You can find the Steam folder under /program files/steam. This folder as a whole needs to be copied on your windwos partition. ONce copied double click steam.exe, maybe reenter your account data and everything should work fine.

Note that you can also use MacFUSE (search for it) with the NTFS 3g module to read and write NTFS from OS X.
