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

[elmrr]

Hi,

I’m trying to run Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm on a Mac (Apple Silicon M-series) using Wine/CrossOver via Heroic/Steam, and I’m running into some persistent UI problems:

- The right-click context menu appears completely blank until I hover the mouse over each item.
- Several tabs in the Commander’s Notebook show up as entirely white with no visible content.

The issue occurs from the first launch. It happens with different window modes. I’ve tried various Wine settings and different CX versions, but the problem remains.

Has anyone found a reliable workaround for macOS?
Any suggestions (winecfg tweaks, required libraries, known working CX/Wine versions, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

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,

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,

Thanks Phil. I tested it on UTM (free equivalent of Parallels) with Windows 11 and I can confirm that it works without a problem.

Still, that''s a shame that we can't play it using wine, because it would be less resource hungry (battery time, RAM, disk space etc.).

I wonder if the same issues occur for example in the latest Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War.

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.

Ah sorry, I didn't notice that you've already mentioned the Cold War title
