World Of Subways 3 - I can't understand...

Hi all, I'm new to Crossover so - as a "rookie" - maybe the trouble I'm having with it it'll be simple to solve... I was looking at this tutorial around here on the site - https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/tips/world-of-subways-3/install-world-of-subways-3-steam-version - to install correctly WoS from Steam 3 but I can't go beyond this point:

[u][Download the 4GB patch from here http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php. The Wos3.exe file needs to be patched otherwise most missions will crash and only very low quality graphics settings can be used otherwise. To apply the patch put the WoS3.exe and 4gb_patch.exe files into the newly created game bottle in the root directory (i.e. not in any folders). Make a note of the original location of the WoS3.exe file. Use Crossover's 'Run Command' option and click 'Run shell' (no file path is needed). Terminal will open and run a script. When this has finished type the following and press return after each entry.

wine cmd
start 4gb_patch.exe WoS3.exe
[/u]]

The thing is, when I enter 'Run Command' option I can't find "Run Shell" anywhere, so no Terminal will open.

Please give me a little help, I bought this game 3 years ago just before moving to iOS and I have never been able to play it

Try just choosing Run Command. Then navigate to Program Folder. Locate your patch; select it and run it.

It doesn't work, it says "couldn't open executable"

The fact is, I don't have any "run shell" or "open shell" option when I open "Run Command".. I really don't know what do, if I open WoS.exe directly from "Run Command" the game starts and makes me select a mission or a schedule, but It crashes while is loading... I really don't know what to do 😭 😭

Crossover have removed the 'open shell' option now. There is a work around though. Firstly make a copy of the original WoS3.exe file just in case. Download CFF Explorer (It downloads as ExploerSuite.exe.) from the NTcore website.
http://ntcore.com/exsuite.php
I used the multi platform version. Put it in your World of Subways bottle and run it using Crossovers 'Run Command' option. It will then install Explorer Suite (defaults to Program Files\NTCore\Explorer Suite folder path in the bottle). Now run the CFF Explorer.exe program. Click the 'Load' icon and select your WoS3.exe file (normally Program Files\TML-Studios\World of Subways Vol 3\Bin).
Click 'File Header' on the left hand side and click the 'Click Here' on the right hand side. It opens up a dialogue, tick the 'App can handle>2gb address space' and then 'OK'.
Make sure you save the changes (you can overwrite the original if you have a backup), then Quit CFF Explorer. This is easier than it used to be with the 'run shell' option.

You should be able to run World of Subways now.
