Crossover impressions

I got the crossover trial to evaluate it and frankly the first day it worked flawlessly. I installed steam then age of conan. The second day the steam shortcut starting instantly crashing my pc (I'm running LXLE 12.04) . This was ok, steam still worked from the windows applications then navigating to Steam. Today that started crashing my PC as well. I don't want to seem overly negative, but based on this experience, I'm going to have a difficult time purchasing this.

If a piece of software that does not run with root privileges manages to crash your computer you probably have bigger problems.

Of course, I'm assuming that "crash" means lock-up, freeze, etc... which requires manually pushing the reset button on the machine or power cycling in the absence of that button. If that it not the case, maybe you could provide more info about your system, like what video drivers you are using, what video card, CPU, amount of RAM, etc... and describe a little better what you mean by "crashing your pc"

Also, how did you install crossover? Did you get the deb or the .bin installer? What version of crossover are you trying out?
