CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello, I have been running Everquest 2 on an M1 14" Macbook Pro running Ventura 13.1 and CrossOver 22.0.1 and it's been playable without any major issues.

Recently, I needed to reinstall Mac OS and now I'm stuck running Ventura 13.4 and I can't seem to get the launcher to load, it just hangs on the Daybreak logo when I try to launch it and never loads. I have tried using CrossOver 22.0.1 and importing my backup bottle that was working fine and also have tried the latest version of CrossOver and attempted recreating several new Everquest 2 bottles but I can't get it to load anymore.

Is anyone able to help or give me some suggestions to troubleshoot it?

Thanks.

13.3+ requires CrossOver 22.1.1

Hi Patrick,

Looks like you ran into two separate problems here :/ First, as Dean noted, CrossOver 22.1.1 is required for running macOS Ventura 13.3+. Second, it looks like this game had a regression between CrossOver 22 and 22.1. I added a workaround to the CrossTie, so you can try a new installation tomorrow on CrossOver 22.1.1 and it should work.

Best,
Meredith

Hello, thanks for the quick reply.

I tried a few times again this morning, I am using a clean install of Ventura 13.4 with the latest version of CrossOver 12.1.1 but unfortunately I'm experiencing the same issue. I created a new bottle and tried installing Everquest 2 using the installer but once it gets to the point of the installation where the Daybreak launcher loads, it just hangs on the Daybreak logo and never seems to open it. If I cancel the installation at this point and then try opening the Everquest 2 bottle, it just shows the Daybreak logo briefly and disappears, the launcher never seems to open.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Yes, you'll need to wait until tomorrow; our CrossTies get refreshed overnight. I saw the same thing you did, and the fix I pushed got me to the log-in screen.

Best,

Ah I see, I thought you meant the fix was already live. I'll try again tomorrow, thanks.
