Crossover issues with network connectivity - affects Steam log in

Hi,

Since updating to CO25 I've been having issues with Steam - I get stuck in an infinite "logging in" window. I've tried with old and fresh bottles. No log in issues with Steam for Mac.

I tried rolling back Steam in case that was the problem but that did not help.

When I tried creating a new bottle I realised that Crossover itself is having some kind of connection problems. During program installation (e.g. Steam or Visual C++ files) I encounter an error that says something like: 'Crossover failed to download the installer, connection/request timed out', and to try again, skip, cancel, or load an installer file.

I tried installing Steam from a local .exe and this works fine, but the log in issues persist.

If Steam already has my credentials it gets stuck on "Logging in..." after launching. If it doesn't, the QR code never loads, and if I enter my details manually and hit the log in button, it gets stuck there and doesn't log me in.

I've tried reinstalling Crossover, updating my Mac (15.3.2 (24D81)), restarting, even changing my DNS settings to Google's public DNS. Nothing seemed to have helped. iCloud's Private Relay is also off. I don't have any VPNs or antivirus software, and I've even tried explicitly allowing incoming connections through my Mac's firewall.

I don't know what could be causing the problem - does anyone have any ideas on what else I could try? I submitted a ticket but thought I'd read out to the community as well.

Thanks!
