monitor calibration

when i have finder (or any mac application running) my calibrated monitor runs at the correct profile. when i open, or alt+tab to either a windowed or full view of a game (in this case guild wars) it reverts back to the original/factory monitor profile. when i go back into mac/finder it goes back to my calibrated screen. i can notice this because macs come factory very blue. any ideas?

I think this is from the gamma correction code that's been added to Crossover. Make sure you're running the latest build of Crossover Games, and try turning off gamma correction in the game.

As Andrew indicated, games can change the gamma(or calibration, as MacOS calls it). Since the gamma is global for the entire monitor, we cannot simply set it for a window. So this behavior is a feature, not a bug 😊
