Fallout New Vega
I have installed FO: NV under Crossover 23.7, and the launcher runs, but when I click play, the launcher closes and the game never launches. I looked at earlier threads about this, but none of them match the Heroic version I am running with Mac (no WineTricks) so the solutions aren't immediately useful.
I also don't see a bottle anywhere with FO:NV installed, only a folder with the essential files and no bottle associated with my Crossover app.
Is there a set of terminal commands needed to enter the empty registry key I can use, and do I point the command to the game folder?

the command for the reg key should be this https://github.com/derrod/legendary/wiki/Fallout-New-Vegas#linuxmacos
heroic should already do that though
not sure how those things work with crossover

Thanks very much for that information. I have found what appears to be the problem:
As noted, I need to put the reg key in the WinePrefix, which is presumably a folder on the computer somewhere. According to the info window in Heroic for FO:NV, the WinePrefix is in /Users/(redacted)/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default.
Unfortunately, this path is not complete. The Heroic folder exists, but is completely empty, i.e., no Prefixes or Prefixes/default. Thus it appears that the installer is not completing the process successfully, or the path in the Installed Information listing is pointing to the wrong location.
I have fortunately stumbled on a solution to this. The Wine Prefix for Mac installations is the Crossover bottle chosen at install. To create the key, you go to Crossover, select the bottle, and click Run Command. In the command line box, type: wine regedit. This will open the Registry Editor as shown in the bottom example from the GitHub link above.
Then, as shown in the illustration, right click HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, select New, then Key, and where the new key is created, paste com.epicgames.launcher over the default name and close the editor.
I am now running FO:NV with no launch issues.
