using codeweaver software to run FoF on Mac?

[michaelincolorado]

I am looking to purchase codeweaver cross over games software - has lot of windows games listed that run on mac with it - I am wondering if anyone has experience with using this with FoF or CoW? Thanks for any info.

I do know that people have been able to play our games on Macs, but don't know if any of them used Codeweaver.

(I'm moving this to the main forum, where more people will see it.)

Thanks, Gil. I loaded and tried it and it aborts at opening screen. Codeweaver is a cheaper way to go other than Boot Camp and etc. Basic savings is with it is at $39.95 you run Windows games without needing to load (and buy) a fresh copy of Win XP or whatever. I found some of my older wargames - Panzer General, TOAW III, all the Tiller HPS games, work fine with it. Website lists a slew of games (WoW and etc.) with 3D graphics that work. I just had wished my fav, FoF, did as I use my mac book lot more than my dell.

That's a shame. Are you getting a crash message that might be useful? It occurs to me that if this is happening on the load screen then maybe it's just the opening video that causes the problem, and that if you disable that you'd be good to go. Please let me know just what you're seeing and I'll let EricBabe know about your problem.
