Bugs

Hidden by fullscreen apps

Currently CrossOver only works with windowed applications, use Windowed Fullscreen mode if your game or application supports it. Windows - [https://github.com/lacymorrow/crossover/issues/1]

Sight is deformed or off by 1 pixel

Due to limitations in chrome we are unable to generate sub-pixel graphics, although there may be a way...

Transparency not working

CrossOver will not hide settings when locked. Crosshair loses opacity (becomes opaque). Linux (debian) - [https://github.com/lacymorrow/crossover/issues/5]

You don't see a crosshair in your game. Why?

The most 'popular' cause why you don't see the crosshair is Fullscreen exclusive mode which is used by the game render.

In this graphics mode the game process 'captures' whole control over GPU and Windows doesn't allow other software to draw over the screen. That is why it is called Exclusive mode. This mode has a few advantages over windowed (borderless) mode but most gamers will not feel any differences, really.
