Steam Bioshock not launching

Hello, I run crossover games 7.1.1 on a mac and I was wondering if you guys could help me out.

When I press "launch game" or double click bioshock in the games menu, all it does is open the "preparing to launch bioshock" window. The window then closes and nothing else happens. I have noticed however that in the steam logo on the dock theres a tiny other steam logo on it which usually means theres a game running.

I saw that other people have gotten the game to atleast LAUNCH, is there any sort of trick to get it to launch or am I using an outdated version of crossover?

Thanks

Are you on MAC OS X 10.6? If so, you're tripping across this:

I'd post in the Bioshock forum if you're looking for more assistance as it appears that some people have gotten it to run.
