Hello, i'm using Crossover Games Version 8.1.3, and I have to say, it's running
very very smooth 3D games. But there's still one little 'bug'.

When playing Counter-Strike Source the graphics and sound / everything is
very smooth except for the mousebuttons 😀 I don't know if this is MBPro
specific, but when I shoot it takes about 0,5 second before I really shoot in
game. This delay occurs when using the trackpad or an USB mouse so maybe
the mouse driver has to be updated/reviewed? (Wild guess 😀)

Could this problem be solved? Then I don't need crappy Windows anymore
on my MBPro 😊

Could you try launching the game with the -nosound option in its launch options? In Steam, you can set the launch options from the Properties dialog for the game.

Does the delay change with no sound? If the delay goes away, then that would suggest it's a problem with the sound of the firing gun.

Another thing to try is setting the game to use a keyboard key to fire the weapon. Does that have a different delay?

Are you using any custom mouse driver software on your Mac, like ControllerMate or USB Overdrive or the like?

For what it's worth, I just did some testing (although I'm far from skilled at FPSes). I tried with and without sound, and using mouse button or keyboard to fire. My test was to face a wall and attempt to fire and jump at the same time. Also, I tried jumping and then firing right at the top of the jump. For firing and jumping simultaneously, the impact was always a short distance (a couple of inches in the game world) above my resting point, regardless of sound or using the keyboard to fire. For firing at the top of a jump, I was able to achieve impacts at the top of the jump, although it's possible I was training myself to fire early.

Same problem here (and I tried different options, with/without sound, mapping fire to keyboard etc ...) on CS and TF2 .

I don't have those delay problems in other games though, that is a bit annoying considering how timing is crucial in FPS .

Indeed ! Timing is very crucial and CSS is .. like.. the only game I play 😀

When mapping the FIRE key to the keyboard, there is no delay...
With or without sound makes no difference regarding the 'lag'
I don't use any custom mouse drivers for Mac, just everything is default,
just installed Crossover Games with Steam and Counterstrike Source...

So... Only lag with mousebuttons, didn't test any other games yet..

Can this be fixed please?
