Re: UI rendering issues on macOS (Wine/CrossOver) – invisible menus & white tabs

I was able to fix the menu rendering problem by using the Wine Configuration tool and changing the "Windows Version" to "Windows 7" or "Windows 8" on the Applications tab.

Hopefully, this fixes the problem for you as well.

Re: UI rendering issues on macOS (Wine/CrossOver) – invisible menus & white tabs

elmrr, the issue I was having was on Cold War. I have not tRed Storm yet (although I bought it in a bundle with Cold War).

I also posted the issue for Cold War on the Crossover forums. I'll let you know if I get any useful responses.

Re: UI rendering issues on macOS (Wine/CrossOver) – invisible menus & white tabs

I was able to get the game running on Parallels on my Mac. So far, it does not have the UI issues I was seeing when running on Crossover.

I'll play on Parallels until there is a fix for Crossover.

Thanks,

Re: UI rendering issues on macOS (Wine/CrossOver) – invisible menus & white tabs

I'm having the same issues on Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War using Crossover on an Apple Silicon Mac running MacOS 26.1. The drop-down menus at the top of the UI are also blank until the mouse cursor moves through them.

Thanks,

RE: Windows cannot find '\update.exe'

I did exactly what you did (executed all steps except for 6) and everything works fine now. When I click the "Check for update" button, it now says that I am running the most current version as expected.

Thanks you very much for helping me fix this!

RE: Some questions

For #2, you can tap the space bar to pass on the bonus move.

From page 22 of the manual: If you need to, you can end a bonus move with the “Pass” button on the unit buttons bar (see Unit Buttons), or by hitting <spacebar>.
