Garry's Mod Forum

I just updated to crossover games 7.20 Mac. My games bottle imported flawlessly. One problem was I couldn't access steam community once I upgraded which was kinda weird but I didn't really care cuz I could get that on my web browser. Anyway I updated my games, TF2 worked better with less glitches when getting achievements. But when I tried to play Gmod (at -dxlevel 81 in windowed mode) all I saw was a black screen! I lowered the dxlevel to 70 and it worked but the games hud didn't appear water didn't work, and textures got seriously disturbed when around fog. I downgraded to 7.1.1 and everything works normally?

THX CROSSOVER WHOOT!

This is how to fix it

1.Backup your Garry's Mod Contents
2.Reinstall Steam and download & Install the games
3.Drag the Content that you might need

If that doesn't work reply to this post

I am suffering a similar problem. All of a sudden, my kernel failed, and my computer had to restart. I tried what you said, reinstalling steam and all of the games. However, this problem continues to happen. I think it has to do with Crossover Games itself, but I don't know if I can reinstall it without having to buy it again.

You can reinstall CrossOver Games without purchasing it. Log into your account and choose 'My Downloads' from the left hand corner. From here you can download CrossOver Games again. It will come in the form of a trial version but that is easily unlocked with your email address and password. Cheers!
