CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I downloaded the trial version of CrossOver Games 8.0.0, and I installed steam via download. I installed Counter Strike Source and 10 seconds after starting the first round, the game is stuck closed and the application crashes and return to desktop.
The test I made with:

iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3 GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM
Connected to internet with ethernet cable and ADSL router 10 MB connection.
Mac OS X 10.6

Does this also happen when you start your own server, or only when you connect to other servers? What graphics card does your mac have?

Thanks for your fast response. I don't have server. Whenever I play, I connect to other servers. My Mac has a ATI Radeon HD2600.

Just click on "New Game", select a map and press start. That will start a private CS:S server. You'll be alone in the game, which will make debugging this problem easier.
(Obviously playing the game alone is boring - we just need some better way to figure out why the game is crashing)

When I tried to create a cs_assault serer, when the game was loading, the application was crashed and appeared an error message:

Engine Error

failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer

This may be because our Direct3D doesn't know the amount of VRAM on your graphics card. So, you can create a registry key to tell it:

• From CrossOver's Programs menu, select Run Command
• In the Run Command dialog, select the bottle with Steam in it
• Type "regedit" for the command
• Click Run
• In the Registry Editor, navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]; if there's no Direct3D key under Wine, create it
• Within the Direct3D key, create a new string value named "VideoMemorySize".
• Edit that new value, entering the number of megabytes of VRAM your GPU has. For example, mine is 256.

Now, try Counter-Strike: Source again.

If you continue to get this error, then try lowering the video settings in CS:S. The most likely video setting that will affect this issue is Texture Detail.

Thanks for your help Ken. I tried the solution that you give me, modifying the registry, but when I try to create the server, I get the same error as before explained.

OK. Did you try setting the Texture Detail in the game's video settings to Low?
