For the past month or two i have not had access to a desktop PC, so ive been playing on my mac via Crossover. Generally it has worked flawlessly, with some rare freezes under special conditions. This has been functional for a while now. Yesterday, coinciding with no patch or update as far as i can tell the game crashes to desktop 2-3 frames after launch (on the Valve logo). it does not trigger the wine error handler, implying a problem in the game code, rather than the translation layer. i have Memory dumps in the bin folder, that, from what i can see, dont show any immediate reasons. Things i have tried:
- Reinstalling / verifying game files
- creating a new blank Crossover bottle
- resetting graphics settings
- using both dx11 and vulkan
- rebooting my laptop entirely
Now the most interesting bit is that it happens sometimes but not others. i cant find a pattern, but every once in a while the game will launch and play fine. if my game freezes and i have to reboot the game, it is astronomically more likely to launch again. Seemingly being in a game helps it launch properly. when running the game as a command, the error code produced is 5, which seems to be a problem allocating memory according to what I've seen online.
