CrossOver Support - Community Forums

everytime I go to play a game using Steam, Dungeon Defenders demo (to see how well CrossOver Games works before I buy), I start downloading and installing Microsoft Frameworks. However, near the very end of the installation process, I receive an error saying that Microsoft Frameworks did not install correctly, and I start from scratch again. I've repeated this three times now. Advice?

Hi,

... please search this site for the app/game you're attempting to run in
crossover(games) -- had you done so, you would've ended up here...;

http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=9701

... and as an advocate has already covered, this title does not work due
to the lack of .NET 3.5 SP1 supports in wine/crossover... well, it's rumored
that .NET version will install via winetricks into a late model wine-devel
build (1.3.33 being current), but I've no idea how functional it is - you
will however have a better chance there than in current crossover ; the
-next- version of crossover (v11) will inevitably roll in any gains with
.NET in current wine-devel...

Cheers!

Thanks for the tip and for the research to my question, also I'll be sure to use the specific game forums for any future technical help with game-related concerns using crossover.

...no worries -- it's often the case that you can save yourself a
whole lot of time, effort, bandwidth...frustration =) ... by using
the site specific search function (top righthand corner of this page).
Also, it's worth checking the WineHQ AppDB as well, as often there's
clues in those forums about how to get apps running (or what the
current state of play is with wine overall)..see;

Cheers!

When could I expect codeweavers to update to v11 so that .net frameworks will be compatible?

We're looking at a release in late January/early February at this point.
