Help with crossover

[TheCoolerKing]

I just got Empire: Total war on Steam and tried running it through Crossover version 10.1.2.

I got a bunch of other games to work. Both TW games and not (Medieval total war for example).

It installed ok, it takes awhile to get to the menu screen but it does (and I'm happy) But I tired to start an Independence campaign and it keeps crashing.
A pop up shows saying that it had a problem and need to be shut down at the loading screen.

I looked everywhere for a fix but couldnt find any. Hoping you guys might know of one.

My specs are
Macbook Pro
2.8 gHz
4gb ram 512mb vram
Intel core duo 2
nvidia GeForce 9400M
nvidia Geforce 9600 GT

Thank you!

Not many newer games work with Crossover, unfortunately. Browsing the game's forum at crossover's site it looks like Empire isn't one of them. You're best off using Bootcamp, sorry.

Thats pretty much my prob.

Anyone know how to "emulate a virtual desktop" though?
