A new bottle for each program? Or all into one bottle

Hi,

I want to install multiple programs (like RegexBuddy, The Settlers II Gold and other old games) so that I can play something if I am on the road.
My question now is: should I install every program in its own bottle? Or should I use one bottle for all?
What would be the best way regarding system resources and battery life?

Greetings

Hi there,

We recommend that each program goes into its own bottle. There's always the risk that installing an application into a bottle with an another application will break one of them.

Best,
Meredith

Thank you for the quick answer.
Is there a way to stop all bottles from starting when running Crossover?
It takes a while to shutdown all bottles - even the one I didn't use

At the moment, no, but we expect this behavior to get better with CrossOver 22 (due out later this year).

Best,
Meredith

Thank you for the fast replies.
