FO with Mac (crossover)

Hello, I was a big fan on A2 and recently stumbled on this site and decided I would like to give FO a try. Unfortunately (or, fortunately I suppose), since last I played A2 I converted to a Mac. I've got Crossover, and have managed to get stantard A2 running very well, without any issues. However, when I try to get FO going, quite simply, it won't. Installation goes ok (using existing exe), but when I try to open FO I get a black screen that does not progress to the load screen. I tried installing FO directly with the CD, but when I did this the result was worse, as instead of opening to a black screen and staying there until quitting, the game simply crashes before it opens.

I realize the vast majority of people here on on PCs, so I'm not necessarily looking for an answer per se, but I was more wondering if anyone has an idea of what would change between standard A2 (1.15 patch applied) to FO 3.6 that would give me my current problem. I was expecting FO to atleast open, since A2 worked so slick. Is there any change in system requirements? Something else I missed? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Its probably our coded additions that cause the problems. As we develop only on PCs, we don't have much testing feedback on macs. DOCaCola will probably be able to tell you more about it. If the FO debuger should pop up, feel free to send in the bug reports. That always helps :thumbsup:
