Tiller Games on Crossover on iMac - Doctor - 10-10-2015

I am wondering if many people are running Tiller games on Apple hardware.  My PC died this summer and I replaced it with an iMac.   I have installed several ACW PzC and Napoleonic titles on a Windows 7 virtual machine running on VMware fusion and they work well.  

I would like to be entirely free of the Microsoft world, however, and have installed Crossover from Codeweavers.  This product allows Windows apps to run on Apple hardware by translating calls to Windows into calls to the Apple OS.   I find that it works well except for one issue.   When using On Map Results and the firing unit draws any return fire, the only results shown are those of the returned fire.  Has anyone else used this product?  Have you had the same experience?

I have had a similar, but only occasionally, issue with that happening in pure Windows. Maybe a similar but more consistent issue that you are seeing.

The newest version, Crossover 15,  resolves the above issue except for HPS The Renaissance.  I am happy to say goodbye to Microsoft, 

Amen

That is good to hear.

It would be nice to get out of having to change operating systems every 5 years!

What is the ball park price of Crossover15?

The list price is 59.95 USD with a 14 day free trial.  Sometimes is is on sale as when I bought it for 45 USD.

I got an email from CodeWeavers that there is a 40% off sale on CrossOver with code JOKE40 at checkout.
