You can’t knock a decent update.
CrossOver, the popular virtualization program from CodeWeavers, has been updated to version 12.1.2. The new version, a 76 megabyte download, is available as a demo, offers the following fixes and changes:
– Fixed a bug which caused Steam to get stuck in a loop while trying to update.
– Fixed a bug which caused performance to suffer badly in Skyrim, and possibly some other games, on certain Linux systems.
– Fixed a bug which caused Outlook 2010 to fail to open .xlsx, .pptx, and .docx attachments.
– Fixed a bug which caused Quicken to fail to connect to Chase Bank online.
Office 2007 and 2010 will now display help topics!
Mac OS X:
– We have improvements to windowing in the Mac Driver.
– We are hopeful that changes in this version of CrossOver will mean that gaming performance will improve when Apple releases its upcoming OS X 10.8.3.
CrossOver 12.1.2 retails for US$59.95 and requires Mac OS X 10.6 and or later and an Intel-based Mac to install and run.
